Re: A question
No, I am a very extraordinary asshole, with a high degree of pomposity:-).
I am also out here installing real systems to handle real problems. If your
hobby contributes to the general knowledge in the industry then it is good.
If it is an obsession and requires rubber articles of clothing before it
satisfies, then it may not be so good for anyone but you.
Aside from the fact that all of your posts to me have been smart-ass
comments and oevrreactions, what more can I say? I am sorry for offending
you and withdraw my comments. Live long and prosper (Giving the Vulcan
V-sign, just like Leonard Nimoy) ;-).
Thanks,
Steve
