Re: I didn't know that you want to pretend those posts never happened. I know you left SI some years back. But I was posting there before then and remember your posts. And calling your hand when you started to wing it. But, if you want, I will pretend that never happened...

Frankly, I don't remember each and every thing I claimed while posting at SI, but I have already said that I am willing to own up to any incorrect statements. You, however, have yet to produce anything. Obviously, I must have said something all those years back for you to remember and hold a grudge, but until you show me something, what do you want me to say? For all I know, you could be exaggerating, or making this stuff up. Again, show me an instance, and I will be happy to address it, or admit I was wrong.

Re: Umm, right. Another wbmw attempt to put words in someone's mouth by mis-stating their position.

LOL, CJ. You should reread your own words.

"To boot Windows means everything, with the possible exceptions of floating point and virtualization, is working."

What is someone to think when they read this sentence, other than that you're trying to claim that everything is working, as long as you can boot Windows?? Is English your second language? Because it would be obvious to any native speaker that this is precisely what you claimed above.

Re: Well, telling someone they must be joking or are ignorant isn't exactly taking them seriously.

I'm sorry if you take that personally, but frankly I get a little beside myself when people with self-proclaimed knowledge and experience of PCs say something as silly as:

"To boot Windows means everything, with the possible exceptions of floating point and virtualization, is working."

Not that this in itself would be enough for me to beat a dead horse here, but after a dozen or so posts, you have yet to own up to this statement. And in fact, you seem to deny ever saying something along these lines, yet here it is, a direct link to a post made by you.

The more you dance around this, rather than just being a man and admitting you didn't know what you were talking about, is almost an invitation for criticism. Hey, I make mistakes, too, CJ, but at least I fess up to them. You, on the other hand, lowered yourself to ad hominum attacks, claiming that it was ok because I started it. Sorry, but that's a lame excuse, and you still haven't owned up to what you claimed.
