   Why are you responding to a post from October of last year, David? Is this   
   your way of being organized?!?   
      
   > Was that a wise thing to do?   
      
   You crack me up sometimes, David. I've been consistent in terms of ignoring   
   your previous technical queries. I neglected to respond to your post in the   
   'real electricians' thread. Your idea of a peace offering I suppose? I think   
   a fair comparison concerning you would be what was done to the indians with   
   the tainted blankets. You're all about distributing those blankets - knowing   
   what they also contain which will unalive the indians. That's you to a   
   fucking T, isn't it, bud.   
      
   You don't get to be the dishonest dickhead you've been for sometime now   
   towards me and then expect me to ignore that to answer one or more of your   
   queries. I've already proven that I do know what I'm doing. You have thanked   
   me on multiple occasions for having provided you spot on advice. That's   
   appreciated, btw. It doesn't make things right between us though. I won't   
   intentionally help you out as I told you months ago. You forfeited that   
   priviledge sometime ago.   
      
   I'll observe what others offer for advice. As I'm curious to see how others   
   would approach issues you present as having. I found the clicking sound   
   issue thread interesting enough to interact in it. I found advice ranging   
   from good tip/suggestion to a bit of overkill but it would work for the test   
   purposes. I didn't see much engagement from you in the thread so I marked it   
   for release sometime ago. It did allow me to get a general idea of the level   
   of assistance you are likely to recieve going forward.   
      
   I am pleased with what I've seen. Very pleased. What I've seen offered up so   
   far is generic advice at best. Being as I know two of the people who offered   
   assistance, I suspect it's generic as possible intentionally. It's useful   
   advice mind you, but it's generic and not too specific. I think you've   
   pretty well fucked yourself going forward getting useful tech support. Time   
   will of course either confirm my theory or show the theory is flawed.   
      
   I'm fine with that due to curiousity. Mike E suggestions are a riot. To his   
   credit, I think he's genuinely trying to be of assistance when he shares his   
   advice/suggestions. He just doesn't actually know enough about the subject   
   matter to be able to do so. He's trying though - which is more than I can   
   say for another poster on this newsgroup who isn't useful to you in any way   
   shape or form when it comes to technical issues.   
      
      
      
   I want you to clearly understand what it is you decided to fuck yourself out   
   of having further access to. All because you want to be a dickhead towards   
   me. I don't personally consider Snit of much value other than entertainment.   
   You evidently hold him upon a pedastal. I do not understand why. He doesn't   
   have the technical chops that I do. He will most likely disagree with my   
   educated opinion, but our posting history concerning providing tech advice   
   speaks for itself.   
      
      
      
   He didn't determine what his computers problem was for example. I did. Not   
   that it's worth bragging rights because, any 1st year technician who's still   
   learning the ropes should have been able to make that diagnosis. It   
   surprised me that Snit could not do so. His actions on that thread enforce   
   my suspicions about him being an end user. Along with the primary software   
   packages he tends to work with. Simple, basic, stuff. He's not using blender   
   or handbrake as far as I know; they have a learning curve to them that he   
   wouldn't find very comfortable.   
      
   His ability to comprehend source code isn't that good. Infact, it's pretty   
   bad. Downright awful. The example I've chosen to confirm that for you is a   
   post from Snit on the AZ thread - The post from him where he claimed a   
   variable I was using as a counter was redundant and not necessary. He was   
   trying his best to find some fault/issue that he could raise to attack me   
   with. He had to settle for my wording (as a teenager rofl) of the   
   documentation that came with it, explaining how to duplicate the   
   encoding/decoding algorithms for your own use in your programs.   
      
   It clearly pissed him off that he was struggling so hard to duplicate the   
   programs functionality when nobody else was having issues or requiring hand   
   holding level assistance. Snit is still the only 'tech' person I've ever met   
   online or in person who struggled so much with that particular source code.   
   Yet, you thought it wise on your part to ask him to help you find the   
   backdoor to my wall greeter source. My response caused him to write up his   
   floodbot story to attack me with. Dishonestly as possible, I might add. He   
   falsely accused me of having a copy of the floodbot itself, either in source   
   or compiled form. He's since morphed the original accusation into my   
   claiming to have insider knowledge of the bot. I didn't make any such claims,   
   though. Due to his well known and demonstrated with damn near each post from   
   him reading comprehension issues, he interprets the things he cherry picks   
   to quote as supporting his accusations when they actually do nothing of the   
   kind. He ignores anyone/program (AI too) that agrees with me concerning it.   
   As he does so, he sticks to his original but wrong interpretations of what   
   he thought I meant when I wrote this or that.   
      
   He isn't playing with a full deck of cards. I'm sure you've noticed this
