I've been on the Usenet for decades, where I've interacted with the poster
Joerg Lorenz quite a few times, where he has often proven he has the
stunted mental acuity of a child.

I only speak facts.

Hear me out, as I present the facts, where this Joerg /never/ adds
technical on-topic value to /any/ thread he posts to.

All he does is call everyone else a troll.

And what does he base his accusations upon?

He thinks that the mere fact that someone wants privacy means they're a
troll.

I've told him already, in other newsgroups where he trolls his accusations
left and right, that this is like saying all Blacks are criminals, simply
because they're black, all Italians are in the mob, simply because the mob
is comprised of a lot of Italians, all Jews are greedy simply because some
greedy people are Jews, all Germans are racist simply because some Germans
have committed hate crimes, etc.

What Joerg fails to understand is that a troll has to troll to be
considered a troll. That simple fact is compltely lost on Joerg, and he'll
never get it - simply because of two facts he's proven time and again.

1. He can't add technical on-topic value to /any/ thread topic, and,
2. He considers anyone wanting privacy to be a troll,
(where he's the troll, in actuality).

Want proof?

This is Joerg's 1st response to an on-topic question in a newsgroup:
"[I have no answer to the question]
I only know the idiot who wants to know it ..."
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/bWXHKhH3AAAJ
Q: Is it on topic? (Answer = ?)
Q: Does it add value? (Answer = ?)
Q: Is it something the mind of a child would say? (Answer = ?)

This is Joerg's 2nd response when responded to by an adult:
"Only anonymous *idiots* are using anonymous news-servers.
Your header: Path: eternal-september.org!reader02.eternal-september.org!feeder.eternal-september.org!aioe.org!.POSTED!not-for-mail
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/xj2X4Wn9AAAJ

This is Joerg's 3rd response when headers were explained to him:
"you are simply a big mouth. "
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/UmK7yflFAQAJ

Joerg's 4th response responding to the proven troll, Frank Slootweg:
"+1"
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/AmUPwr5ZAQAJ

I can go on proving two points but this should be sufficient for adults:
1. Joerg never adds on-topic technical value to any thread, and,
2. Joerg calls everyone else a troll simply because they desire privacy.

The adults on this newsgroup don't have to believe me ... where all I ask
is for them to ponder whether those verifiable facts above of about a half
dozen posts plus another half dozen responses trying to explain facts to
Joerg Lorenz (all wasted effort, by the way), added /any/ on-topic
technical value to the thread?

So that I'm not guilty of the same childish games that Joerg plays, I've
already proven two points, where I want to once more tell Joerg the
on-topic technical admonition that simply wanting privacy does not make a
person a troll.

In fact, Joerg clearly is guilty of exactly what he accuses everyone else
of being, simply because his posts /never/ add any on-topic value to any
thread.

Just watch...

Hi Carlos,

Think about how much on-topic technical value your post added.
Was it zero?

Think about privacy?
Do you understand privacy?

We all know the answer to both questions, if asked of an adult.

I posit, therefore, that your logic is that of a child.

This appears to be your logic:
A. Because someone desires privacy,
B. Then they are a troll.

I simply posit that is not the logic of an adult.
In fact, I posit that your post is a troll.

Hence, I posit, you just acted just like a troll acts in that your post
added zero on-topic technical value to the thread.

If you are really serious about making your own, there is tape that you
can buy that is impregnated with resin. One version sets by itself the
package is opened. One uses water to activate setting, and one uses UV to
set the resin. And thee is also the self-adhering/fusing tape that

The pen spring was suggested but until I saw your photo I didn't think the
pen spring would work. You showed that a pen spring _is_ big enough to roll
onto the Apple cable becoming what I had called a strain relief but I don't
know what it's called because others said it's not a strain relief.

That picture is PERFECT for what I want to do, and is the best and cheapest
answer yet and it relieves the strain gradually which is another perfect
thing!

Now I have to root through the trash to find all those Bic click pens I've
thrown away over the years! LOL

There's only little problem with that.

you've never used shrink tubing, have you?

Eye roll.....

There is a ratio concerning original vs shrink size.
If the tubing is large enough to fit over the connector
it may not shrink down full around the cable.

Yes, well specify 3:1 or 4:1 heatshrink then, 3:1 is very easy to find
and 4:1 is certainly available.

i'VE NOTICED that mine is about 2:1. It's not marked or labeled, and I
buy the cheapest stuff I can find, so it woudn't go over a usb plug and

Nothing. I simply handle them with care.

Me too.

None of my cables broke in that part. Two failed at the pins.

I don't think I use them as much as some of you but none have failed. I
have AC extension cords that go back I think 50 years, certainly 40..
In a couple, the rubber cracked and I couldn't save them, but other
rubber has lasted. Most of my stuff never breaks.

Not only that, nobody has been on "the Usenet", ever. Likewise, there

Making these kinds of errors and claiming to be an expert, shows that

Carlos,

You have just proven, yet again, you don't have *adult* comprehensive
skills.

I don't hide who I am in the body of the posts.

You can even tell who I am simply from the /subject/ line, for heaven's
sake.

The style is the same, the format the same, the screenshots are from the
same devices, the devices are the same, the details are the same,
everything is the same.

That you can't possibly comprehend that alone, means you won't even get
close to comprehending the next fact, which I've explained to morons like
you Carlos so many times that I'm sick and tired of explaining the
*obvious* to people like you who simply do not possess adult comprehensive
skills.

It's like you think all Jews are greedy, and that all Germans are racist,
and that all Italians are in the mob and that all Blacks are crooks, etc.

You're *that* unable to comprehend even the remotest amount of detail.

Let me state it yet again, the reason for the headers being completely
random is that I know that automatic aggregators must exist.

So, to help foil the automatic aggregators, my headers are completely
random.

Only a fool like you would even think that I don't say who I am in every
post by the way I write and what I write. You're such a child that I have
to explain the /simplest/ of the most /obvious/ things to you.

It makes me sad to know people like you exist. Your a racist Carlos.

Worse. You're not even a smart racist.

You can't comprehend that there are tools that aggregate based on headers.
You also can't comprhend that there are different models in Usenet.

Your model is to post drivel to other people's threads.
My model is to ask questions in my own threads.

That you don't even /notice/ that simplest of facts, further proves you're
an utter moron. Really.

You don't appear to have the comprehensive skills of a child, and yet, you
are a racist when you accuse me of things that even a fool such as you
knows is completely wrong.

It's just sad that you're so incredibly stupid, Carlos.

Since I don't hide who I am, please, when you next see me ask a technical
question, just go away. Please.

Swatting you away is like swatting away the brainless gnats who swarm
around a juicy picnic ... just so that they can ruin it.

Of course they "must" exist, in your paranoia. You have no indication
that they *actually* exist, let alone proof of their existance, but your
paranoia doesn't need such silly things.

So, to help foil the automatic aggregators, my headers are completely
random.

Except for the annoying tidbit that they are *not* (all) completely
random.

*If* anyone would be so silly to want to write such an "automatic
aggregator", it would be rather easy to collect all/most of your posts.

Just think about it - assuming you are capable of such a mental
exercise -, 'we' - you know those "incredibly stupid" "fools" who "can't
comprehend" anything - can spot your posts a mile away, so it's not
really hard to write an "automatic aggregator".

BUT, it would take a really, really, incredibly stupid individual to
*want* to write such a thing.

Have fun in Paranoia!
