But you claimed - earlier in the thread - that mils work better for you than microns.

You are absolutely stupid to think otherwise. We just happen to > have garnered a better sense of which to use where, and when, AND WHY. Nonsense. You have a parochial preference for the obsolete imperial units and try and justify this rather foolish affectation by claiming that they are somehow more ergonomic. > Only stubborn "ours is the right, only way" total dorks have issues. That the US persists in using the obsolete imperial units is definitely dorkish. > So get a clue, you total dork. This from the parochial dork who thinks that mils are more user- friendly than microns. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Since I'm interacting wiith you, I'm obliged to be insulting, as anyone who wasn't a twit would appreciate. You've earned the title Dimbulb, and devote a lot of effort to reminding us why you deserve it. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Insulting you, Dimbulb, is one of those socially necessary tasks, like putting trash into trash cans. > You could not be less civil for your stupid finger pointing > masturbation. We don;t need it, SLOW-wanna-be-man. There's no civil way of pointing out that someone is a parochial nitwit. And you aren't exactly a shining example of civility. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

I don't hate the US, though I do disaprove of the tendency of some US residents to ignore the rest of the world. Reminding you that the rest of world exists is a charitable gesture - if enough foreigners persistently remind you that you don't inhabit God's Only Country, we may eventually get you into better contact with reality. Jim Thompson is - of course - a lost cause. but some of you may yet be salavaged. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen |
