Still making your ' little girlie ' posts in 86-64 - shame on you !

Dunno what it is you do not understand about cross-posting but I rarely
change the targets there. Is x86-64 so well policed (by you ?) that
everyone has been cow-towed into staying within your personal guidelines
for posting content. What a strangely antiseptic, sterile place it sounds!
I'm surprised they put up with you... and coming from behind a cowardly
anonymous mask too.<shrug>

"Just because they're paranoid doesn't mean you're not psychotic" - Who, me??

Exactly. Do you wonder why the suits in Chicago edicted
that coffee was to be served hot? The real secret is that
*CUSTOMERS WANT IT THAT WAY*. Oops, now I've spilled the
all the coffee beans. ;-)

Very close. The secret is McD makes more profit that way.
They sell more coffee because more customers let it cool
and very few sue. The problem is that many more suffer
damage than sue. McD's analysis is skewed.

I'm not sure what this is doing in a bunch of hardware
groups, but I'll point out that the water cooler at my work
dispenses hot water (for tea, coffee dilution, etc) at
195 degrees Fahrenheit (yes, there is a thermometer on the
front of the unit). If you want extra hot, you push a button
and get 200 degrees.

It's not just McDonalds that believe[sd] that hot is better.

I drink tea every day, too.

Actually, the best coffees (Europe, S.Am) are served tepid
to lukewarm. And taste _great_. Only poor quality coffee
needs heat.

Your opinion, unless you care to back it up with some fact.

To your 1st point: It has absolutely nothing to do with this forum.

Every newsgroup has its regulars, who talk about what interests them.
It's the nature of any conversational medium - people chat. You aren't
king of shit. ...get used to it. Hone your killfiles if you must.
Otherwise eat...

These guys just think they don't have to abide by any standards and are
free to do whatever they want! They think they are better than the rest
of society and there are absolutely no standards that apply to them!
They get "to know each other" with their OT posts!

You're absolutely right. If you weren't such a pup you'd understand the
nature of the beast! Friendships build over the *years*. If you don't
like it, find a new playground.

And for you 2nd point: Don't confuse the facts with logic! They don't
care whether what their post is factual or not! They are establishing
their "reputation" so that everyone will know they are "experts."

That may be your excuse, but many here know each other. ...yes largely
through these groups, though often personally or via email over the *years*.

But you must remember: These guys are absolute experts! And your
opinion is worthless because they said so!!!

It's about time you got something right! ;-) Now, join the club of
bugger off!

You obviously drink crappy piss-water in the name of coffee.

Not at all - the authorities on coffee: growers, afficianados, gourmet
experts etc. who have taken time & effort to come up with the perfect
beans, perfectly roasted and brewed to the exact right temp have spoken!

Yeah, and the same sorts talk about wine, with their snoots in the air.
Audiophools have nothing on them. The fact is that if the consumer parts
good (no *excellent) money for your product, it's good for both. If you
can push it (whatever it[1] is) by somehow claiming "intellectual"
(read; snob) superriority that's goodness. The market speaks.

[1] "It" may be wine, audio equipment, or apparently cafeene

So anyone who appreciates what you do not is an aeshete?

Exactly the opposite, there George. Anyone who tells me that I cannot
have what I want (within obvious legal restrictions) is an Donkey's ass.

I think you (should) know that Kerry remark to not be true.

Sure, that's why it was worded as absurdly as I could, and followed by a
smiley, in case you missed the dripping sarcasm. Apparently...

You've gone too far. Time to move on now I think.

Of course you're right (litttle new has been said), but that borolad chap
seems to be ready for a much deserved stroke.

Pseudo-anonymous. The quoted crapflood appears to have
come from 82.9.216.136 which DNS helpfully resolves as
cpc3-midd4-6-1-cust136.midd.cable.ntl.com.

My best guess is s/he's a cable user in The Midlands, UK and
customer of NTL UK.

Agh but I just want to have a choice... not to deny you yours.

interloper: http://www.flirtbox.co.uk/dating/borolad.html ... I wonder??...

I'm not the interloper, you are :

- you started . . . & continue the O/T x-posting in the x86-64 group
- you refused proper & polite requests not to x-post O/T.
- you continue to ignore timeworn [ USENET ] boundaries

As regards further x-posting the O/T dating thing above :

- Starsign: Virgo - I'm an Aquarian
- Bodyshape: athletic and toned - I'm 20 Stone, fat but fit[ish]
- Age : 41 - I'm 62
- Cleveland - hell that's where middlesBORO is you silly girlie man

So it's not me, it's never been the case that you were right in any of
your posts, and again you are wrong on this occasion.

The evidence is there for all to see and with remain in the ether for
years. Please continue producing the feedstock of traceable evidence,
the ring is through you nose and I continue to drag you along the
litigation route.

Clearly you are a few trees short of a rainforest, I am mutating your
comments from the fleeting to the permanent as an enabling strategy,
and making slow but perpetual progress. You feel sanitized by your
spray on morals, whilst all the time I am dressing my victim for his
coffin.

Clearly your crude reduction of reality means your are suffering from
a chaos of individualism but you could change your chosen route to
hell for pleasure by stopping the x-posing to the x86-64 group of O/T
' coffee 'drivel & contrived and slanderous substantial
misrepresentation and character assasination.

Or - you could continue to let me pull the ring !

Only on the net can cowards do what they would not have the guts to do
at arms length.

Rgds, George Macdonald

I can assure you that this will not become a forever rehearsal for a
show that never happens - or the USENET equivalent of an elephants
graveyard.

"Polite" is clearly not a part of your lexicon.

- you continue to ignore timeworn [ USENET ] boundaries

Perhaps you should face up to the fact that Usenet is not for you. Go back
to your chat rooms and Web "boards". Have you thought of starting your own
Web board?... I'd think an ideal solution for you.:-[]

Again, move along please!

N.B for anyone [ and evidence ] reading this missive I have never
culled any on-topic [ macdonald ( lower case ) ] post to any of the
many groups. Therefore 99% [ of those seeing my nym ( evidence ) ]
could respond to me because I don't post the originating group.

13 weeks should do George, 7 weeks now and I'm counting.

You sir are a crossposing O/T troll and I will as with so many others
have your account.

I post most days in these groups and you don't even know it. you
assume that quite properly using my own ISP, [ x-ref ]server etc I
can't nym-shift and go anon.

That means I'm still pulling the ring and you are still an x-posing
O/T fool without an account . . . . eventually.

The evidence is inarguable and in the ' ether ' - the brackets lower
case is very very important [ just one more evidential ring-pull ]
