Perhaps, since you obviously know SOOOO much about the subject, you should've called him on it the very first post, hmmm?

This post is so full of BS it requires 2 responses from me.

Since when does everyone know everything and enough to expose/prove a lie. It appears GE made the mistake of trusting Miss Information (Anti-R). I'm sure that's a mistake he regrets and won't make again. Besides even if you're right I'm not sure what it proves. Often in my daily work where I'm an expert if someone says X happened I take them at face value and unless I have first hand knowledge that it is incorrect.

Example, If I tell you TCP stands for "Total Control Protocol" you'd quickly correct me because you clearly know the true meaning of TCP. However, if I told you that the the reason that we refer to a bug as "bug" is because On the 9th of September, 1945, when a computer was experiencing problems, an investigation showed that there was a cockroach trapped between the points of Transistor #70, in Panel E.

And if you are vaguely familiar with the first bug, you'd agree with the said statement even though it has manu incorrect items in it. For exmaple it was a moth and it was a relay not a transister. And finally it was Panel E.

See the difference?

You're still missing the context. That was after enduring GE's abusive nature and claims of expertise. Is it a bad thing to test abusive (has been banned before), self-proclaimed experts?

And such was the level of knowledge that GE intimated that he had. At the time, I gave it about 50/50 that he would call me on it immediately, and I would have congratulated him on a good catch. But he dug his own hole from there.
