I did approach him in a friendly manner, for the purpose of engaging in friendly debate. And it would seem he just couldn't handle it. I cannot understand why the discussion turned so vitriolic. I'll extend the olive branch once more, and even apologize fully for earlier comments. But like doc said you really need to shut that little trap once in a while Liam.

I am not sure if the 820-II is different but, I doubt it. The cable just splits off to each drive. Everything is on the mainboard.

Incidentally 6 months ago or a bit more someone on the list was clearing out their storage unit and was offering boxes in this category. Chicago area I think.

Adolescent behavior, was Forget UPS was Re: Shipping Heavy/Large Items Via UPS

You're supposed to embrace love and worthwhile judgment. People cherry pick what suits them from the bible and ignore the rest. You've never read it. You don't have a clue. VICIOUS ATTACK??!! Someone threatens me publicly. Did I threaten anyone??? What the hell is said or going to be done about the threats issued??? NOTHING. And if I were inclined to take it the least bit seriously, I'd do something. Little big mouth. You can also go to Hell Dave. Talking crap like that could get you in a lot of trouble real quick. ------------------------------ On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 12:46 PM PDT Camiel Vanderhoeven wrote: >On Wednesday, March 13, 2013, Chris Tofu <rampaginggreenhulk at yahoo.com> >wrote: >> >> Yes Chuck I enjoyed and appreciate your inputs over the years also.
