So to Jim Menning, and you Mr Brodbeck, if all that makes me "not a
good
guy", and one of "the jerks", then sobeit. All I did, as I always do,
is
try to help the guy. All I wanted was a civil response. It was only
after
the less than polite ( in my opinion ) responses that I received from
the
OP, that I got annoyed.

But hey-ho. Bad day now over. Tomorrow's another day ...

I gave you the opportunity to prove you were a good guy, and not one of
the jerks.

You made an unnecessary reference to "the Americans" in your response
here. A more proper statement would have been that other
"well-intentioned responders" were confused. Rather than drag
nationalities into the equation, how about just clearing up the
confusion
that you claim exists? Providing the pictures to a common location
could
have enlightened all.

But the real bottom line here is: Did you follow up to make the
pictures
available?

Again, here's the challenge: Prove to us you are the "good guy" as you
initially appeared to be.

Thank you.


Please don't get going on the race issue. I see enough of that rubbish in
this country already.

"Race issue"? First, it was you the mentioned the nationality issue, now
you bring in theterm "race issue"? Where is all this coming from. What
race issue?


Someone once made the observation that the UK and America are two
countries
divided by a common language, and this would seem to be proving that. I
visit America frequently, and have done for many many years, so I am able
to
speak and understand your variety of the language fluently, which is why
I
understood that what this UK based poster was asking, was being
misunderstood, by more than one person from your side of the water.

The reference was not unnecessary to the explanation, and I can't
understand
how you could possibly take offence at your countrymen being referred to
by
the nationality that they are. So let's get that point totally straight,
right off. I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against Americans of any colour,
creed,
political persuasion or whatever. I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against the
way
that you speak the language. By making the reference in my previous
posting,
I intended ABSOLUTELY NOTHING detrimental, to you, or any of your
countrymen. Are we clear on that one now ?

Again, it was only a couple of posters that were trying to help. Their
confusion was as helpful individuals, not as Americans. I see far too
many people saying "Americans this, Americans that" as though we are all
one homogenous group. We are like any other group, one of individuals,
not all like-minded.


Here are the pictures. They are about 100k each now, and I make no
apology for that. If that is still too much to force down your piece of
wet string in less than an hour, that's not my problem.

Again a hostile tone from you. I have high-speed cable internet, not a
"piece of wet string". I think your attuitude here has not mellowed at
all. You still proudly display a chip on your shoulder.


Hope you all find it worth it. If any of this makes me not, "one of the
good guys", then I hesitate to think what you must make of some of the
ones that we get on here sometimes, who really aren't, and make a point
of being genuinely offensive ...


Funny thing here. I interpreted the OP's question correctly as looking
for a cord wrapping procedure, not a "knot" as referred to in the subject
line, and I had looked for instructions for a similar kind of cord
binding, although done customarily with the plug at the far end from the
equipment. I have never seen this done with the knot at the equipment
end, and so I have now been educated. And isn't thast what this group is
for? To share knowledge? It's a shame it's often times so difficult to
accomplish this.

Finally, thank you for posting the pictures to explain the mystery.


I am not going to reply further to your many points - which I think ideally
illustrate my contention of two countries separated by a common language -
as I see no benefit to the group in pursuing it further by so doing. The
pictures are now posted, in a form that you approve of, and you have now
viewed them, and seem happy to have done so, so that's good. The OP has now
viewed them also, and commented favourably.

I would point out that I have posted on this group for many years, and have
I believe, amply demonstrated my credentials over that time, as being what
*I* would consider to be one of the "good guys".

I have never actually seen you posting on here before, and know nothing
about you, so you will understand that I feel no obligation to justify
myself to you, further than I already have. That said, if you are new to
this group, I have no desire to get off on the wrong foot with you, and if
my mildly sarcastic banter has offended your - or indeed anyone elses -
sensibilities in some way, for that, at least, I apologise.
