> Have a nice evening as well!

Thank you, I'm having a fine one.

> In the mean time, I guess the fact that on this test, the S7 had bettery battery life will go unchallenged.

Dan, I am unimpressed by people who spend their time measuring the length of their penises and bragging about whether their own is longer than someone else's.

I consider battery life comparison crowing, and most other "mine is bigger than yours" braggadocio, a waste of time. There are published specifications on all these things, so why is it a big freakin' deal? Specsmanship is bullsh!t. I've been an engineer designing products from consumer to industrial to spacecraft since the 1970's and I get to say that.

> And I guess facts and insults (which always start from Swordmaker) are anathema to Apple fans?

Facts are often pretty thin in the so-called technical articles written by hired whores for the purpose of gathering clicks. I should advise you Dan, you can't believe everything you read on the Internet. Even if it looks all official and cool. In fact, -especially- if it looks all official and cool.

FWIW, Swordmaker gets insults thrown at him by a dozen or more anti-Apple trolls such as yourself nearly daily. The fact that he keeps his composure as well as he does is a testament to his forebearance in the face of a lot of insane hatred. And while he, like all of us, gets tired and frustrated dealing with that crap and occasionally blows past his limits, I daresay having read a number of energetic exchanges between the two of you, your characterization that he "always starts" is not quite accurate. But I'm not interested in keeping score. I just am appalled by the stupid flamewars, and wish people could do like JimRob stated in the quote in my last comment, and and just drop it. That's all.

> I may be a “n00b” but at least I treat people with decorum until they do otherwise.

I look forward to your continued and even perhaps improved decorum.

> Old fart. :)

Hmmm. You must have read my FR profile page. Well, I'll own up to that. :-)

Please note:

I have not tossed an insult or name at Swordmaker unless he first started tossing them around at me. I’ve been insulted a dozen times by him, and I think I’ve done it once (calling him Swordmaker Clinton, after her called me Shanghai Kaine).

I’ll maintain decorum, and argue facts - but when mud gets thrown around (a lot, by some of the Apple folks especially), I’ll start tossing it back.
