Shame really, you've usually been fine with me.

Pd, as usual your post is restrained and well-put. It must be time consuming to write such posts, which try to educate without being patronizing. However the fact that you see James Jolley's posts indicates to me that your kill-file is close to empty.

At least i'm not writing under an assumed name and can do my own research about apps for the iPhone. For a cambridge grad or whatever, you're rather stupid.

It must be time > consuming to write such posts You flatter me sir. Not too time consuming, it's mostly what flies off the end of my fingers and is often ill-conceived, badly constructed and frequently idiotic. > which try to educate without being patronizing. Oh no, I'm often patronising. It's inevitable when one is as arrogant as I. > However the fact that you see James Jolley's posts > indicates to me that your kill-file is close to empty. It is indeed. I think the only one in there is our occasional guest pottymouth. I do, however, use MacSoup's filter to select all of a particular thread or poster, Cmd-M to remove from sight when I can't be arsed reading the chaff. -- Pd |
