It sounds very interesting, but I don't think anyone knows what you're talking about. My first instinct was that you were some kind of Markov chain, generating pure crazy. It would be nice to be proven wrong. > > so sorry. > > Alex

Looks like I have to break out the old "ilias is crazy" email sig and update the names: --- Please stop responding to Ilias, he is crazy. If you stop talking to him, he will go away. If you don't believe me, check out this: http://www.tfeb.org/lisp/mad-people.html Especially: > Ilias is currently (17-Sep-2002) being almost entirely ignored and > is crying alone to himself, while trying to join in various > threads.

Again, this man is insane, so please, please, please refrain from replying to his posts, or in threads he starts. If you would, please join us is fighting this problem.

Fill your "shopping Basket" with all your dream components. 3. (but don't buy them....) 4. Just sit there and stare at your screen and the list of items and their cost and think what would have to happen to determine if those pieces of a system (hopefully, 1 system for now) are to get "checked for compatibility" and a lot of other things useful to YOU (and to COMPUSA) 5. And because you are prone to thinking a little ahead of your time, and because you don't live in NY where CompUSA already has a Processing department that, likely, in their opinion, has addressed every possible desire of their clients now and forever. Think about how expertise for this very specific problem can be made from "outside" - from guys that hang around at PCMech and such places perhaps. I gave up. Somebody is going to solve this someday. What I am working on provides everything but the Data, assuming expertise can come in from outside. Reviews already do. Reviews are nothing but a type of these units.

In a way, it's sort of a tribute to Ruby's notoriety that "thunk" has started his career here.

This is a convenient time to ask if there is a way to ignore threads without unsubscribing. If the forum software does not support it, who do I send a patch to? Is this a google groups issue? |
