Cool. Good to see you are doing much like what I talked about.

Good to see agreement.

Why have it be manual copy and paste? Why not just select the text? Mine is
set that way -- even if I select more than the text it will find the first MID
in the text selected. Not an attack (I know your ego), just curious why you
made that choice.

You made a script similar to mine. I noted that was a good thing. And, sure,
comparing how we accomplished a similar task -- nothing wrong with that. You
see I enjoy learning how people get things done and seeing what different ways
they do it.
In your case, for example, seems there is manual copy and paste. That seems
inefficient to me if you are already going to select and right click, but
maybe you have a reason I have not considered. Or maybe it is a limitation of
your knowledge or the system you are u

I know enough to not lie about someone else's driving records, criminal
records, make up stories about bizarre discounts designed to attack someone
and encourage doxxing. I know not to obsess over some petty squabble if
someone quotes me and to not say it is lying to do so.
You do NOT know these basic things. Worse yet, you make threats -- and
recently have admitted when seeing videos of Renee Good being murdered that
you would do much the same. Curious: would you also have murdered Alex Pretti?
Your claim of understanding etiquette better as you threaten, lie, dox, and go
so far as to say you would murder people as ICE does is very hypocritical.

I have much the same in my script that gets messages from my own provider.
Again, this is not new to me -- I already have such scripts and have for some
time.
The differnce with mind is I have lines near the top:
USER = ""
PASS = ""
This makes it a bit easier for a novice to change. Not a big deal though.

Sure... you only need to give mine permission on first run as well. Would be
surprised if yours was different given what you have said.

You take everything poorly. Another one of your challenges.

Might also be more than you know how to easily do. No issue.

Who said anything about a competition? That is YOUR world view, not mine.

I did much the same some time ago. No problem. Not sure why this is so
troubling for you.
