No, but you're obviously unable to understand that the one making the claim is the one that's responsible for providing the proof. I could claim I saw extraterrestrials at McDonalds and then tell you it's up to you to Google to prove it. See how that works? You claim you're new to the newsgroup, want to participate. Well, I've been here a long time and can tell you that your approach is not one that's welcome or gets you any respect. You're having problems here not only with me, but with Philo and now Uncle. Plus you've apparently dragged an existing following in here of others too. What would be considered credible references to you, specifically? Just put up what you have so everyone can see it and evaluate it. The fact that you can't, speaks for itself. No point in discussing what's credible, what's not when you have ZILCH. Until you do, I'm done with you, no point in screwing around with a troll. |

No, but you're obviously unable to understand that the one making the claim is the one that's responsible for providing the proof. I agree with you. So... MID: http://al.howardknight.net/msgid.cgi?ID=149462596500 I'm betting that any difference in radiated heat because of paint color are inconsequential. Your proof of that claim is where? I didn't write anything about paint color, you just made that assumption. You might even try to disagree that the source(s) I have aren't talking about paint as you define paint, so, again, I'm asking you, specifically, what you consider to be a credible source and/or sources. Before, I post them. You claim you're new to the newsgroup, want to participate. Well, Ive been here a long time and can tell you that your approach is not one that's welcome or gets you any respect. It's no claim. I am new here. Although, I didn't say I was here to participate. That's just an assumption you're making at this point. Despite the fact I have taken interest in some threads, it's not my primary reason for being here. I'd have to take what you say as far as my approach with a large salt shaker. I've noticed various individuals here continue referring to you as a troll and have filtered you as a result. I'm not looking for a welcome party, or respect from anyone posting here. As I wrote above, participation is NOT my primary reason for being here. You're having problems here not only with me, but with Philo and now Uncle. Going by your understanding, I might have an issue with a total of three of you, then. That's still a small number. I use the word might because I have no real issues with Uncle, and, afaik, the issues Philo and I had were the result of being mislead by his 'friend' concerning our mutual skillsets and knowledge. Plus you've apparently dragged an existing following in here of others too. Nope. They've been here for a bit longer than myself actually. You have it almost reversed, except that I wasn't 'dragged' here, I came of my own free will. Should I be using crayons, or, have you figured out why i'm here now? What would be considered credible references to you, specifically? Just put up what you have so everyone can see it and evaluate it. I asked you, specifically you, a very simple question. The fact that you can't, speaks for itself. No point in discussing what's credible, what's not when you have ZILCH. You know what they say about assumptions, right? Until you do, I'm done with you, no point in screwing around with a troll. You use the word troll incorrectly to describe me. I'm not one. But, I do find your comment hillarious on the face of it. If it helps. -- I would like to apologize for not having offended you yet. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. |

I've never seen any nefarious behavior when visiting Photobucket but then I use this tiny thing as a "Play" machine because it's easy to wipe and start over. I also have a Dell Win 7 laptop with me but I only use it for online banking, bill paying, medical records and business. I don't go anywhere near sites where it could get cooties. Back home I'd have a half dozen computers running at any one time with a KVM switch hooked to 4 machines and I was playing with a separate computer to use as a firewall but it's been several years since I messed with it and I've no idea WTF I was using without looking it up and trying to remember.

My crappy Android tablet apparently does not like it and closes it down. That's the reason I like to experiment with different web browsers. I have a 7" Amazon Fire tablet that I only use to watch Amazon Prime videos when I'm on the toilet dropping a load of readymix. I used to have a novel or newspaper with me when I had to visit the throne room. Technology has changed everything. I have a 10.1" Android tablet that I rarely use and I should really play with it more so I can learn all the nuances of the Android OS. I don't have a smartass phone or any modern working Apple product. If I were to get a smartass phone it would be an Android phone but since I had cataract surgery I need 4X reading glasses to see the screen on one of those evil devices. ヽ(ヅ)ノ [8~{} Uncle Evil Monster |
