You have no idea what I posted until you read the book. But again, grasp the technical content. Ignore any implications.

If you read anything implied in what I post, then you and only you are adding things that are not there. Therefore you are insulting me. Making conclusions from things I did not post. The only thing in that previous post was its technical content. Nothing more.

I don't worry about carefully wording for those who always see hidden messages - who need everything stated politically correct. It is, for example, why George Jr's lies about WMDs did not work on me. I also only see the facts and have contempt of implied conclusions.

I deal bluntly with reality. That means I expect you to quash emotions that jump to wild speculation and radical conclusions. That means my posting will upset those who let their emotions create implied conclusions.

IOW whose communications skills suck? The one who states honestly and bluntly? Or the one who sees hidden meanings into statements and then jumps to emotional conclusions? Apparently you did not understand what I posted, did not ask for clarification, and then got snippy. And again, words not chosen to be poltiically correct - just honest. Yes, I am again measuring you (in that last sentence) to see if you can deal honestly or need to be carefully petted.

The above represents what the carbon-based life forms called homo sapiens call 'passive-aggressive ass-holery'

The above is more of the same 'passive-aggressive ass-holery'

YOUR communication skills suck. And, 'carefully petted'--WTF?

Anyhoo, tw, ya manky cock, I am laughing while I'm posting this.

Always amusing to prime the pump and see what comes up.
