Whoops... but yeah, how magnanimous of you, admitting your error AFTER
arguing the toss and being proven wrong...

No, I admitted my error after *I* realised I was wrong.

Yes, thats completely true - after you realised you were wrong. but
nontheless, ALSO after you argued the toss.

As it was an insignificant subject I didn't give it my full attention.

'It didnt matter much, so it didnt have to actually be true'

Now as we're speaking about errors, what about all those errors you made
and then glossed over because I didn't reply immediately?

Nice try. failed again, though.

I don't have to prove anything, you've already admitted you are an
"aspie and proud of it".

Actually, you'll find that I havent signed my posts with that for 5
years, *WHICH WAS THE POINT* I was making before, even if I got the date
wrong (not that you noticed).

Unfortunately in the words of my SO "that
****wit isn't doing any favours for the cause of AS".

Well I'd hardly expect her to be in posession of a balanced set of
facts, with you as her source of information.

I suggest that you investigate my earlier postings to
alt.support.autism, where you will frequently find comments along the
lines of 'you give us hope that our sone/daughter will be able to be
functional in society when they are older' etc.

(and yes, you will probably find flames and other things from time to
time - a.s.a can be a turbulent group, given its readership has a very
high proportion od aspies. I am fully expecting you to pick a post froma
flamewar as an example, rather than something more productive, so please
dont bother, ok?)

Name rings a bell. I may even have met him (You can find a particularly
sad picture of me at a 'zetmeet' if you use google images, although I
dont recall if he attended that one...)

Try using your superlative Googling skills. He had **** all to do with
Zetnet and everything to do with suing Demon for libel.

Fair enough. I said the name rings a bell. I didnt say why it rang a
bell as I couldnt remember.

I can't argue the point as I can't remember. But the earliest post I can
find from a Zetnet group was Dec 1995 (which predates the 1996 earliest
posting I can find from you).

Message-ID:

nice - zetnet.test - which was available before most of the others, and
I never posted to in my life...

zetnet.locals earliest is in 96
zetnet.local.teens (ugh!) is later still.

cut reference to you using Linux (which I've been using
off and on since using Slackware v1.x something, but now prefer Suse of
all the distros. The reason I don't use it is because it's easier to use
Windows for what I do).

Now whos boasting... "look at me, I used linux!"

Forget it, I refer you to my earlier comments about having difficulties
with written subtleties too.

No, I didnt miss your attempted insult. It just failed to have any impact.

Perhaps you should join the military?

Been there, done that.

Why am I not surprised...

I don't know, why are you not surprised?

What were you, whipping boy?

Dont drop the soap...

Ah right - the one that bore no relation to what we were searching at
the time - explains why I didnt find it, given I was searching for
something relevant...

In other words your criteria was different to mine. Point proven M'lud.

OMFG. priceless.
