Of course, it wouldn't occur to you that the computer industry in the Seattle area 20 years ago was a pretty small group. Bill back then wasn't Bill Gates the billionaire, he was the local HS boy who dropped out of college to start a quite small company. I guess you think he never had any friends back then? Never hung around with other techies? Never went personally to the very small trade fairs we had back then, before the first Comdex?

You really are ignorant of where all this started and how small it really was 20+ years ago, before the IBM PC even came out.

Joe,

More for you to think about.

From your post...

Matt said: Continued abuse of the word 'your'
You replied: That's not against the TOS. Your being a tyrant.

Joe, you yourself admitted a while back that you purposely use the incorrect usage of your/you're to irritate (or words to that effect).

Matt then subsequently asked you politely to discontinue the very irritant usage.

You have chosen not to. (TOO? TWO?) Even whilst sulking here in Jail.

Why are you doing that?

If you truly want to make amends and be released, I would suggest a true attempt to mean well, post well, respect others, and attempt to live in a society of diverse personalities whether they be on the Internet or in your (You're) personal life. Let it become a prerequisite modus operandi for attempting to secure a sufficient sustainable release from the current situation.

And it needs to start with your (You're) attitude whilst still incarcerated, IMHO.

Don't kid yourself (you'reself) for one minute Joe by believing that the Internet is any different than real life. Whether in real life or on the Internet people learn to appreciate and respect others for how well they are able to interact with others in many vastly diverse situations.

As you may have noticed by now, I continue to interact with you because I see deeply beyond your frustration of being kept cast aside here on this website and in a closed mode of communication. Did you ever even think for one minute how much worse it could be if IHUB didn't have this "Jail Forum" available for you to vent yourself and try to gain relief from this seemingly frustrating position you find yourself in yet once again?

From what I have seen on this website, there are quite a number of posters/members who are vastly older and wiser than you in their years and experiences. Step back and contemplate for a brief time just how much it may be that you could potentially learn from that one fact alone.

Loosen up your ever too stiff shoulders of pride for a while and learn to listen to voices of the past that were around long before you were. It's the best advice I can possibly offer you.

Dude. It's his house. He can be a "tyrant" if he wants, leaving you to only hope he's a benevolent tyrant.
