A89: Bye
There's a saying that the amount of intelligence on the Earth is
constant, the population increases. Since I joined this list about
7 months ago, it has become an empirical proof for that.
The content of this list have slowly deviated from the assembly/C
technical discussions (in plain ASCII) to a high volume noise
channel. In its latest form the list contains heated flame wars about
Texas Instruments' rights of changing their calculators or exporting
various encryption schemes, religious/atheistic flame wars, creationism
vs. evolutionism. Of course, none of the participants have any formal
training or, more importantly, any significant real knowledge about the
subject they are arguing about, or for that matter, any significant
knowledge about spelling, punctuation and other general written
communication skills supposedly tought in early primary school.
This would not stop any of them to state their views as solid facts,
unquestionable and ultimate, of course.
All that is running with multiple levels of full quoting, in HTML.
This is peppered with requests of leaving the HTML, quotes, off-topic
stuff out responed by typical meaningless blurbs about the sacred
but never understood "freedom" what seems to be a magical word,
which repeated often enough like a mantra apparently makes a person
infallible, be source of the only truth and the living example of the
only right way, the ultimate judge of the creatures of the Earth.
I am a mere human and I am not up to mingle with so many Living Gods.
So thanks for the help of those who helped me on this list, most
prominently Olle. I hope I helped those whose (technical) questions
I answered.
So long,
Zoltan
