I am not having a "Socratic Dialog" with you, ASSHAT. You give yourself honors you have not earned, except the ass you wear on your head. You are not Socrates, nor are you qualified to teach me anything. You have been posting twaddle and have demonstrated knowledge of nothing except an amazing level of ignorance. If anything I have been teaching you, but you refuse to learn.
I will use the term TOTAL COST as I learned to use it in college. . . and graduate school. I will omit what I determine to be irrelevant to the conversation as I choose, not you. YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED to set the terms of this discussion as you want. . . not when I had to tell you what "Total Cost of Ownership" even meant over the space of about twenty COMPLETELY TEDIOUS replies, as you continually either mis-characterized what I carefully explained or deliberately feigned mis-understanding. Either way, you do not have the right to define the terms after that abysmal performance.
I am DONE playing your boring game.
Feigning misunderstanding is SOP in Socratic Dialog Sparky.
Its how one gets the other to prove his point for him.
