This is one of the funniest things I've ever read here. I didn't realize that this was somebody we were supposed to know either. As part of the pattern of these things go, I received a private message from this notable that began with: "Oh, I know who you are: a dick that has been given too much power. A freetard, and part of the FOSScracy at that." I'm blushing because I actually found it kind of flattering to be thought of as FOSScracy. Now I'm even more flattered because I didn't know that I'd been complimented by someone famous. I have to say that Mr. McFly here fits the pattern of mailing list kook very precisely. I'd expect much more original thinking from such a visionary. I no longer marvel at the sheer idiocy of being given software for free and then either don't listen to or actually insult people who are trying to help. It's a sad commentary on something that this pattern is so prevlant. But, then, again, this kind of behavior is not the rule so I guess that's encouraging. But, then, the original bug report of "screen hangs sometimes" was not likely result in much in-depth debugging anyway. >Face the facts: I have never met or heard of you before; it's entirely >down to the unpleasant tone of your first post and your subsequent >descent into full-on trollhood.

Well, I wasn't sure. I'm more of a follower. But if that's what Dave thinks, it's good enuff for me. cgf
