Apparently you missed the words "when I want
to"; I'm sure that, like me,
you know many people, especially people like Tony who live in large
metropolitan areas with good public transit facilities and taxi service, who
choose to *not* want to drive and would not dream of getting on a bicycle;
do you harangue them the same way?
Is it just envy because Tony is such a generous and prolific contributor of
generally useful information while your posts despite their much greater
number and size usually contribute mostly noise, that makes you jump into a
discussion about power supplies just to 'pick on him' like this?
For once I have to agree with Tothwolf and his "You, sir, are a bona fide
troll," and an often rude and silly one at that; my apologies to the list
for adding to the OT.
Given that the message to which he was replying was a comment *to me*
and Tony and I have exchanged many private emails -- on the subject of
me trying to pay him to repair some classic computers for me -- I took
his comment as a dig at me. He has often criticised me, publicly and
privately, for my lack of ability to solder, my board-swapping
approach to hardware repairs and so on.
I was merely replying to that. I did not expect it to be taken so very
negatively by all concerned, and I have already apologised.
What more would you have me do?
