All this started of _defragmenting_?! And it seems that Dave was 100% correct, too. (Which, of course, means that Someone Else(tm) was _not_ correct. Glory be. Who'd have thunk it.) And to think that I skipped that thread completely. So, Dave, when's the next Gang meeting? -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.

OK, you are saying it all started here and that one has to examine this whole thread to see how "illogical" I was. At least this summary of yours is a pointer to what you have in mind. So Mr. Mike O So Logical, I will read on to find the illogicality (remember old pal, this particular part of this thread, right here and now in Nov 2006 is about your claim I was illogical and we must remember that logic and truth are two different kinds of fish. Being illogical is not an automatic consequence of being wrong. Being wrong is something I can be. Being illogical is also sometimes something I can be. But the two are different). Ok where are we... ah The Doll Analogy and The Big Room come in here to help think through a model for the defrag that goes on in OS X (I was new to X). So? No offense to anyone at this point re this analogy. As I explained, I was thinking through it trying to get a handle on it. Of course, at this point, your Dear Leader, in a trademark wooden humourlessness and meanness starts it off with an incredible insult in 17. followed up by remarks clearly made in bad faith in his 19. At this point Jeffrey Goldberg comes in with stuff quite illuminating and I am starting to see the limitations of the OSX behind-the-scenes defrag algorithm. I show my appreciation. So illogical isn't it? You are not giving me a lot of confidence here Mike in your forensic abilities to pick through issues to back up your scurrilous remarks against me. There is an informative few remarks by Black Balderstone in 24 and I say in 25: "Ah well, this is new to me. OK I will go read up. Your information was that defrag does individual files only, i did not know there was a file size limit. No wonder the doll analogy sounded crazy to you. Mr X could not gather the bits from really big broken dolls eh?" And it just sort of goes on, JG and others, even Balderstone contributing informative remarks, me being largely appreciative. It seems to escape you completely Mike that it is Balderstone who always starts things with his jarring notes, his little put-downs and so on. But you don't even notice them any more, so used to it have you become in hanging around this essentially nasty Soulless Leader. You are dealing with a sort of Mean Spirited Robot here Mike, realise it. Your thread is no back up to your claims and is not even a case of your latest claim about a number of people jumping on me? No one but your leader much jumped on me in any mean spirited way? In fact, looking at it now, it is even more obvious to me than it was before how helpful everyone was, even Bad Balderstone. He just can't help his mean spiritedness coming out. And when he defends himself I almost start to feel sorry for him, seeing in him his limitations of self awareness, what can the poor schmuck do? He is trying to deny his own meanness which he cannot see. It is sad indeed. Big Bang indeed! -- dorayme
