    I've read the posts between you and Snit, David. I won't even bother responding to any of your bullshit or his. If you doubt what I wrote I did, that's perfectly fine with me.

    The point remains, You have next to nobody with actual tech skills now willing to help you. :)

    And you have to thank your repeated dishonesty, trolling, and stalking habits for that. You and dumbass snit can continue talking shit about me if that's what pleases you. I will sit back and laugh as my well known and established track record speaks for itself. And no amount of quoting me out of context and pretending to be unable to understand what you read like snit is going to change that.

    In the end, you can go fuck yourself. And I'm still going to skull fuck snit in both eyes. And as with Jenn, I'll mock you both as I give you a play by play of how he becomes my 3rd bitch. Just like Jenn and Eagle. As with them, you will do absolutely fucking nothing but watch. :-)

    And you will do fuckall about it; except to watch as you're powerless to stop me.

    Have a nice day, fucktard.

    I've helped his tech fucktard level ass out several times. No more. He can fucking learn to swim or drown at this point. Few people posting here have
    the tech chops that I do, and of those, I don't see anyone wanting to waste their time to help him out.

    On a completely unrelated note, I recently acquired some new to me gear.

    This is a beast compared to anything else I have here. :)

    though... :)

    Projection on your part. Heck, just today you encouraged someone to dox me.

    You and dumbass snit can continue talking shit about me if that's
    what pleases you.

    You are the one "talking shit" right now. I quote you... and you hate it. You hate YOUR words. So be it.

    I will sit back and laugh as my well known and established
    track record speaks for itself. And no amount of quoting me out of context and
    pretending to be unable to understand what you read like snit is going to change that.

    Your victim mentality comes to the fore.

    In the end, you can go fuck yourself. And I'm still going to skull fuck snit in both eyes.

    How many years have you been saying this?

    And as with Jenn, I'll mock you both as I give you a play by
    play of how he becomes my 3rd bitch. Just like Jenn and Eagle. As with them, you will do absolutely fucking nothing but watch. :-)

    You brag about harming people. This speaks VERY poorly of you.

    Meanwhile, with all your lies and attacks and other BS, I have never lifted a finger to harm you.

    And you will do fuckall about it; except to watch as you're powerless to stop me.

    Have a nice day, fucktard.

    More of your threats. More of your insecurities.

    I do like how once I started calling you out you tucked tail and ran away...
    at least to the point of not even trying to counter what I say and pretending to not respond to my comments.

    You are a coward.

    You have helped and been helped. Likely been helped more than you have helped.

    But you also attack and lie and cry.

    No more.

    Your tech incompetence was called out and now you run. Just as a reminder to you:

    * Gremlin was ignorant about how his phone number could show
    on my provider's logs.

    * Gremlin incorrectly denied his number was in public databases
    and could not understand that not all databases are the same.

    * Gremlin thought Unicode letter-like symbols were a different font.

    * Gremlin got confused over what degrees he says he has and what
    they mean.

    * Gremlin got confused over Preference files and profiles on macOS.

    * Gremlin got all excited he used a mouse-less computer as if that
    was impressive.

    * Gremlin could not believe FirstClass could handle so many
    simultaneous connections.

    * Gremlin did not realize the risks of writing to APFS on Linux.

    * Gremlin did not understand ASCII is a standard where "A" is
    always 65.

    * Gremlin was so ignorant of Linux he thought I was saying a DE
    and distro are the same.

    * Gremlin did not know that a floppy disk in a drive could stop a
    machine from booting.

    * Gremlin thought forwarding a Google Groups post gave headers it
    did not.

    * Gremlin thought he could best my chat bot but failed.

    * Gremlin confused drag-and-drop with copy-and-paste.

    * Gremlin thought an ugly superglue and baking powder hack for a
    hinge was indicative of the work a "hardware repair shop" would do.

    <675a4b34$1$2873014$[email protected]>

    He can
    fucking learn to swim or drown at this point. Few people posting here have the tech chops that I do, and of those, I don't see anyone wanting to waste their time to help him out.

    How does one with such amazing "tech chops" make the errors you do?

    You have some skills. David has some. I have some. Carroll has some.

    Why not celebrate our different areas and not compete? Why not help each
    other? Why not be kind and thoughtful, and not insecure and hate filled as you are?

    Can you try to do better?
