i was constantly baffled when having dialog with jim, because all of a sudden he'd make points for _my_ side of the debate, while giving the full impression he was arguing _against_ me! Ever had a course in rhetorics or debating!
it was as if i was playing tennis against someone and suddenly i turned around and found him on _my_ side of the net, hitting the ball back to the empty space on the other side of the court! [snip, snip]
at other times, it was as if we were both playing on court #1, but jim was hitting his serves into court #2, or even court #3. and then acting like he had hit an ace! really, jim? seriously? See above! Bad style.
what are you supposed to do when someone "plays" like that? Do you expect me to advise a old hand.
so i was constantly asking myself whether the guy was _really_ that stupid, or if he was just _acting_ that stupid to irk me off.
because there coulda been a certain method to his madness. see above! [snip, snip]
there is this one group which sees me as "a troll", and they are constantly accumulating more "proof" that that's true, because their "evidence" continues to show that i'm a "troll", thus their misimpression has become truly self-sustaining, even though people who read all posts know that it ain't so. No, you are not a troll! At least not in the sense used for forums. More, in your mannerism.
O.K. Kiddies. lets get back to work playtime is over. P.S. I have not forgotten that I have some pseudo code to offer. I just do not have the time to post. Will offer it up as soon as I have enough time. regards Keith.
