WHy do you value honesty? What an as s. Perhaps it's your myopic
'anglo-saxon' mindset.

Actually, it's a sign of maturity and integrity.

There's a world of things you, a twenty-
something, has to learn before you get off your high horse--do some
traveling outside of your merry old England and learn about different
cultures.

I don't know whether Jon would even bother to address that ridiculous statement of yours, but suffice to say: he's got far more "worldly" experience than you are likely ever to have.

Where I'm posting from, acting honest all the time is the
sign of an idiot or child, who typically are said to 'speak the
truth' (to their detriment).

Where you're posting from? And where would that be? Federal prison? A halfway-house for feral children? A terrorist training camp? Because it sure isn't any place that has any notion of civilized behavior.

Your IP address suggests you're posting from Greece, but none of the Greek people I've met over the years have exhibited the kind of sociopathy, self-aggrandizement, egomania, and blissful ignorance that you do here. Unless you're actually in one of the aforementioned facilities, or something like them, there is no way that your behavior is considered acceptable or normal, even by those around you.

If I never hear from you again Jon, it's not a great loss.
Just .killfile me and be done with it.

Frankly, it is beyond me why anyone has been willing to continue responding to you as long as they have. You demonstrated a long time ago your inability to understand the limitations of your understanding, never mind to be able to learn anything new that would help that understanding, and your vast capacity for self-delusion and argumentativeness based on same.

Others have been very patient with you, trying to help guide you to an understanding of the technical issues you get wrong time and time again, but you're obviously immune to that.

And it's ludicrous that you
suggest to others what to do--are they part of your but kissing
posse? LOL. At least Marc Gravell answers my posts with specific
examples instead of just 'preaching' in your 'guess the magic number'
style.

Jon and Marc have _both_ been very patient with you, trying to take your posts seriously and answering them in kind. You have no appreciation for that, and it's pretty clear you've worn out your welcome. As you know, you exhausted my patience with you long ago, as I have very little of it to start with when it comes to dealing with fools. Jon's and Marc's patience and maturity exceeds my own, but even they have their limits and they've been in this muck you've been throwing about for a long time already.

I seriously doubt that Marc is going to be investing much more effort in responding to you either.

It's unfortunate that you've now managed to sucker Göran, Arne, and Jeroen (to name a few). My recollection is that they haven't been as involved in threads with you in the past, and so they may not be so close to exhausting their patience. It's my hope that they'll see what's going on and not wait until they're fed up to just stop bothering with you.

Even in rejecting you, Jon's showed more tolerance than I would. He clearly is open to resuming discussion with you if and when you start behaving yourself.

I'll go one further: I believe this newsgroup will be best served if no one ever responds to any post you make ever again. Even if you make a post now and again that is civil and sensible, I do not believe you are capable of reform and it's clear you will continue to willfully be disruptive and dishonest. We just don't need that kind of behavior around here. Nothing short of an unequivocable, contrite and sincere apology for your behavior and a promise to never again act that way would justify any response from anyone here.
