My Dear Michael:

You are obviously on potent meds or alcohol or both.

Your lack of coherence is alarming. Please check with your primary care
physician.

Since you don't quote, it's hard to be sure which post you are replying
to.

But however much I tend to think the jigs may not be of much value
here, I should point out that Michael has said he's suffering something
at the moment and is taking something for it, so that comment really
is innapropriate.


I find several things inappropriate in this thread, including several of
Michael's comments. My origninal reply was an opinion and was not dripping
in vitriol, as where many subsequent posts.



Not dripping in vitriol? Then WHAT was behind that "Up your meds"
comment of yours? Stating that someone is a useless drunk, or so high
on drugs that they don't know what the hell they are talking about is in
no way an innocent remark. I have had less than a half dozen cans of
beer in my life, and the only pain killers I've had were after surgery,
and I threw them in the trash.



I don't follow (read) Michael's posts. I know nothing about him and have no
interest in him. If he has a problem, then God bless him and keep him and
heal him ... it is beyond my powers to do so.

Apparently, though, Michael digs up stuff on me ... the "retired" slam is an
obvious off-the-wall, left-hand denegration of one's opponent in a debate
used when one is running out of logical and cogent options.



Charles, you really do flatter yourself. I did not "Dig up"
anything. You are not worth the time, unless you make physical
threats. You recently stated that you were retired in one of your
messages. The comment about being your retired simply meant that you
are not in the business anymore, and you may not be up to date on
current shop practices.

I was, until I was laid off, and ended up on full disability due to
my failing health. I have work every area of electronics, except
medical. I started in a TV shop in the '60s, and ended up in
manufacturing but I always kept up to date with repair because my now
derailed retirement plan was to keep busy in my small home shop. Its
only 1200 sq. ft, and a 500 sq. Ft machine shop, but it would have been
a pleasant place to enjoy the rest of my time.


Look, I am not going to be swayed by any of this. I gave an opinion,
according to a solicitation for any opinion, and will just cary on. That's
how Usenet works. One posts a query and one must expect repsonses that they
feel are inappropriate. They can respond with hubrage and then should
expect, and live with, in-kind responses, or go to a bar and beat the hell
out of those who disagree.

The local playground and local bar behaviors are much evident here.



You need to find better places to hang out! ;-)
