UT, I hope you understand

UT/Tony,

I've been calling the Cellar in various forms since 1991, and I really appreciate what you've done here over the years transforming this from Waffle on UNIX to this current setup.

His grandstanding was the ONLY time I have been insulted the way I have been on your system in 17 years of calling/posting here.

I have his post to me saved. If I EVER am in a position where he is presented to me or an associate at another company as an IT consultant, I will forward that post to the consulting agency who presents me to him, along with a strong "will not hire - EVER" notice.

I am no "Little Boy" who knows nothing. I actually know two people working in this field who have Ph.D's from Stanford in the related physics disciplines, and who are establishing a business working on practical applications of quantum computing (Tony, you have access to my LinkedIn profile, one is there directly linked to me). This is years from production, even with DARPA money, HP money, and IBM money.

Like I said....he's an idiot. 17 years of intelligent dialogue with many cool users here who I know personally, and he has to come along with his grandstanding attitude, not knowing who he's pissing off (and assuming they're a little boy newbie who knows nothing), and insulting everyone who doesn't agree with his point of view.

Radar can go fuck himself with something that has lots of splinters and exposed jagged surfaces.

Mitch

Mitch, don't take it personal. He directs that sort of crap at everyone that disagrees with him.
Your credentials are impeccable. You have gone out of your way to be most helpful, on a number of my(and other's) computer related problems, and never steered me(us) wrong. You know your shit.

tw, on the other hand, has ventured to be the last word, in areas not of his expertise... claiming to be the ultimate arbiter while expounding opinion, thus damaging his credibility.
