Sigh... I think my 16+ year Quicken relationship is about to end

Hi Andrew,

I wish I could word this in a less antagonistic way, but here goes... Your post implies that maybe you're NOT here to share information with anybody here. That, combined with your personal retorts begs the question: Just why do you come here at all?

Hi Andrew, I wish I could word this in a less antagonistic way, Why? Do you think I am that weak that I cannot take antagonism? Do you think I'd be hurt by the opinions of a stranger? If so then you think way too highly of yourself.

but here goes... Your post implies that maybe you're NOT here to share information with anybody here. Did I say that? Again, check your premises! I said "with your silly ass". Are you "your"? I think not! I was speaking to Han.

That said, let me be clear. I'm not here to be compelled to share any information with anybody, and yet I reserve the right to share any information with anybody. It's just that it's not my aim an purpose here any longer to share knowledge with others though occasionally I will at dates and times of my own choosing.

That, combined with your personal retorts begs the question: Just why do you come here at all?

In a word: Entertainment. I used to come to get information. Yes that's right that selfish thing of getting. I possess it as do you. Difference is I admit it whereas I suspect you attempt to hide it in a vain attempt to appear virtuous. I gave a lot, a while ago, but a lot. For my troubles I was crapped on. So I quit, in the same essence as Atlas Shrugged freely asking "Who is John Galt?" at the time. Coincidently I am currently re-reading Atlas Shrugged (or rather listening to it on Audible).

Since I no longer use Quicken I cannot claim I'm really coming here for information - at least not information I will use directly anyway.

There's also the aspect of antagonizing idiots which I will let fall into the "entertainment" bucket. This is not unlike a cat playing with a ball of yarn...

To annoy the s*it out of us. Its not just this group. He is also very annoying over in the GnuCash user group.

Just killfile him like many people have if you plan on being a regular in this group.

I'm pretty sure he comes here to find friends whenever Mommy gives him fifteen minutes of computer time for being a good boy and taking out the garbage.

If you're the kitten playing with the yarn, then I'll laugh at you. If you're the ball of yarn, then I pity you. In any case, it would have been easier if there wasn't as much html crap in your post. If you want more laughs, then cut out the html, please.

Btw, the respect I did have for you and your knowledge has worn off, and turned to pity.

We've been around on this for years: Andrew can't be convinced that it is rude to post HTML-only rather than multipart-alternative with a plain text section. I just delete his stuff...

That would also be rude, Usenet is plain text only, the only exceptions being HTML groups which would have HTML in the groups title.

He is one very good reason why killfiles were invented, killfiling him would save having to delete anything.

Here's a clue - HTML is plain text! Tagged and perhaps a little ugly - but it consists of nothing but plain text.

I'm still waiting to hear how he deletes stuff...
