Somebody who has looked at using the 555 from time to time, since 1973
- two years after Signetics introduced it - and never found that it
could play a useful part in solving to the various problems I was
being asked to deal with.

What's your own claim to expertise? Your only obvious skill is in
deploying a rather restricted vocabularly of scatalogical insults. If
you actually know anything about electronics, I seem to have missed
the posts where you put this expertise on display.

An enthusiasm for obsolete technology is a tolerably good method of
getting yourself removed from the gene pool. A band of DrParnassus
look-alikes dragging their knuckles, their flint-tipped spears and
their flint-tipped arrow heads along on the hunt for people to
eliminate from the gene pool could be expected to attract the
attention of the police force long before they'd managed to edit
anybody. They'd likely spend the remainder of their reproductive years
isolated in prison cells, deprived of access to those people who might
have been persuaded to help them propagate their own genes, and - with
any luck - also deprived of access to computers that would give them
acces to the Usenet.

Do assemble your hunting band DrParassus. It will do more good for the
gene pool than you can imagine - not that imagination is one of your
strong points.

If you want to distinguis between gallons and litres, "imperial units"
does the job, even if US gallons are two pints short of imperial
gallons, as even an idiot like you ought o realise.

Get a clue. The rest of the world doesn't use inches any more.

Currently? Being able to spot stupid, retarded bastards that spout
horseshit at every turn.
