The perils of "search & replace" in documentation.

[Mark Wallace]

No, that certainly doesn't.

Finally! An intelligent insult!

I was beginning to lose hope.

 

[Mark Wallace]

What's a sparks?

Don't hide your light behind a bushel, Sparks -- even if you have, as
always, wired it incorrectly.

 

[Mark Wallace]

Wait, you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're,"

What on Earth are you talking about? Are you hearing the voices, again?

 

[Mark Wallace]

I said "chat ROOM," not "forum." See the difference?

Yes. They are both not what Usenet is.

 

[Otto Bahn]

Don't hide your light behind a bushel, Sparks -- even if you have, as
always, wired it incorrectly.

I've never understood why it's okay to make an insult about us engineers,
but if I insult a negro all hell breaks loose.

--oTTo--

 

[Shelly]

Yes. They are both not what Usenet is.

Well, y'all *are* chatting, and it's hardly Swilson's fault if you
aren't wearing a toga.

You don't really know what's going on here, do you?

 

[Mark Wallace]

Because negros, as you call them, are human beings.

 

[Mark Wallace]

We're not "chatting"; we're "bitching".

 

[Mark Wallace]

You don't really know what's going on here, do you?

Oh, good grief. It immediately swings back to the trollish garbage.

Switch your brain on, Sparks. It makes for more interesting discussion.

 

[Shelly]

We're not "chatting"; we're "bitching".

You should probably speak for yourself. Alsotoo, you say that like
the two things are mutually exclusive.

 

[Otto Bahn]

You don't really know what's going on here, do you?

It almost reminds me of YHL feedback circuit I designed once.

--oTTo--

 

[Adam Funk]

It almost reminds me of YHL feedback circuit I designed once.

I wonder if it might connect to the YHBT stuff I've been tinkering
with.

 

[Kevin S. Wilson]

It almost reminds me of YHL feedback circuit I designed once.

With the YHBT quick-disconnect? I vaguely remember something like
that.

BTW, do you think the bozo could point to a single shred of evidence
to support his assertion that you and I are electrical engineers, or
do you think he just has a rather limited but spastic imagination?

 

[Otto Bahn]

I generally don't like quick-disconnects. I cannot afford
expensive parts and those cheapo HTH diodes have a tendency
to go POP! with a large voltage drop.

BTW, do you think the bozo could point to a single shred of evidence
to support his assertion that you and I are electrical engineers, or
do you think he just has a rather limited but spastic imagination?

I'll tell you one thing, if you want a new circuit, let an
engineer design it but have an electrician build it. The
electrician probably won't beable to do the design work,
but at least he won't electrocute you like an engineer
would.

Who said you were electrical engineers?

I mean, if you can't speak English effectively, and you're so thick that you
think you're trolling when you're being trolled, then no-one in his right
mind would expect you to be able to do anything else that requires a modicum
of intelligence.

Sparkies, that's what you are: battery boys (as in you've been assaulted and
batteried, because you haven't understood the half of what has gone on).

It's kept me entertained, though. For that, I thank you.

I believe we'll file this one under "I Meant To Do That." Any
objections?

Next Up: I Knew It All Along.

Objection, your honor. Clearly this meets the criteria to be classified
under Item 6, Category 2: "No, *I* trolled *you*".

I sit corrected. In fact, my learned colleague, you have reminded me
that the following is the usual sequence of utterances:

1. "No, I trolled *you*".

2. "That part where I looked like a pompous ass scurrying here and
there intent on correcting what everyone else understood to be obvious
nonsense? So that I could show off my ginormous brane? I meant to do
that."

3. "I knew it all along."

4. "You're no longer worth my time. I'm out of here."

5. "One other thing . . ."

I find hard to believe anyone could think we're this stupid,
Mark old chap.

At least he's a happy fish.
