What about CSMA COLA makes people flame 1813

I think that only a soul-less drudge would ever consider being aware of such a thing in the first place. That comes from having a guilty conscience.

Well, kier, let's look at this logically. I made no statement regarding linux, I made a statement about my own history. You call that a lie as proof that I lied about linux. You cannot score any points that way, the judges are far too savvy to allow it. Rather, you will have to find some statement that I offered for the truth of the matter in regard to linux itself that you can show to be false and can further show that I knew to be false when I made it. Then you can buttert that I lied, but only then.

As to your being a soul-less drudge who cannot face facts, that is, of course, an opinion or atbreastude on my part and cannot be a lie in any sense. I really do think you are a soul-less drudge based on your bland posts and inability to argue with facts along with your propensity to call people derogatory names.

I was once a FIFA referee, qualified at the state level to officiate a wide range of amateur matches, kier! I have met numerous football fans and have sent a few of them who were masquerading as coaches off the pitch. Play on!

What do you use as a "track record in business"? The conventional wisdom is to review financial results.

t shows that a sample of some 450 users picked solely from an arbitrary region of Seminole County, Florida have not used Firefox to any degree in the past several months.

It is worthwhile to at least lightly proof your posts before submission, kier. That saves some misinterpretations! Wannabes will use some ersatz thing while pretending to be serious pracbreastioners of some art because they cannot justify the expense of a real facility or are otherwise not qualified to use the genuine article. If you are a commercial artist and being paid for your efforts, you will use Photoshop and nothing else. If you are pretending, you might use PSP. If you are pretending to pretend, maybe GIMP is the ticket! I see it as kind of a Toyota pickup truck sort of thing purchased by people who aspire to look like tradesmen, i.e. a pretend pickup for a someone pretending to need one.

Can you describe why you use it rather than using PSP?

Not a completely definitive answer, kier! I did download the Thunderbird executable and it looks interesting. They seem to have copied the look and feel of Outlook Express fairly closely. I'm having some trouble with the threading, though. It seems impossible to get a threaded view with the threads collapsed in any kind of chronological order. As soon as you filter in chronological order, it unthreads and if you re-thread, it reorders the starting posts, but expands all threads. As soon as you collapse them, it reorders the timelines. I will look for a help news group on this. The documentation doesn't seem to relate to the newsreader function and only talks about e-mail.

Well, kier, you cannot blame someone for trying to better themselves, eh? LOL!!!
