... and again I must point out that you take this far too personally.
That is why I wrote the paragraph beginning with NOTE: above.

We're all humans, humans make mistakes - all the time.
IMO this has been proven over and over again, sad but true.

To tell you the truth, in my first response I hadn't even read beyond
your NOTE, garbage_collector.  I did read your admonishment to Igor in
another message and saw that you were back in your usual form, however.
That was a welcome advance notice for me although I'm sure that Igor
found it tiresome.

However, I confess that I've read it now.  I see that is your standard
content where you offer advice which embodies the implicit understanding
that you somehow are someone whose advice should be taken seriously.

I'm glad to see that you seem to think that your opinion is worth
something.  Feeling like your opinions matter is important for
maintaining one's self worth.  You should keep feeling that way.

I do not share your opinion, however, and would ask you, politely, to
stop attempting to give me advice.

Thanks in advance.

Just to be clear, if you hear a distant rumbling noise, that's probably
me.

Apologies in advance.

Well, you know that the speed of odor is slower than the speed of sound,

Well, in all fairness they don't make a joystick that a hippo paw can
really use all that well, and playing MS Flight Simulator with the
keyboard is really hard.
