Hello mark!

29 Mar 07 01:41, you wrote to me:

You arent telling me anything I dont know, what you arent listenning to is this
fella is a hypochondriac braggart.

He has cried wolf way too many times to be believed.

I am not the only one to disbelieve him, even Maurice disbelieves that tall
tale, Wayne is a professional sympathy seeker..

He has claimed to have had a stroke, boldly professes to have not had emergency
or follow up care, much less it officially diagnosed. consistently complains
about spinal injury that supposedly impedes his mobility and is the cause for
his disability status. I have researched strokes, especially since my father
had suffered one, and I am well aware of all the issues that a stroke can
bring, including mobility and mental. Where Wayne has a existing spinal deficit
that a stroke wont help, my father prior to stroke also has 2 artificial hips
that his stroke didnt help.

I simply dont believe someone whom says he has gone through things and doesnt
seek to confirm it. He wants you to feel sorry for him.

 ml> good grief, the guy's learning something and he's proud of it... so
 ml> what? aren't you proud of yourself when you learn something on your
 ml> own?

I dont parlay new found knowledge into becoming a expert at it.

I dont enter into political debate with someone and then when I lose, I start
spouting off this unrelated to the debate "new found knowledge" as Wayne has
done.

I think it was Iraq that Wayne was discussing with someone, then the someone
replied to him that shot his points down, Waynes response was to brag about his
usage of perl, even to spell out the acronym perl stands for. The whole debate
unrelated to computers, programming et al.

Wayne takes his new found knowledge and parlays it into a "my dad can beat up
your dad" mentality.

Remember Cliff Claven??

You aint telling me nothing new, I dont brag about what I know, I have become
more proficient on writing web pages and the ilk, but there is always someone
who knows more, I certainly wont ignorantly proclaim a coding style as ignorant
when I know nothing of what I speak of. Wayne professed the condition "if" as
inelegant, yet failed to look into the source code of the lnux kernel or his
own mail reader to see s shitload of it.

Here is the difference between you and Wayne..

When you wrote your first program, script or batch file, you certainly did not
profess yourself to be an expert, whereas Wayne did.

No one likes a braggart, but certainly not a uninformed braggart.

Its very hard to take someone seriously whom does the things mentioned above
plus all the tall tales of physical heroism like lifting 657 pounds of steel
stock unassisted or carrying a 70's FORD Torino for 20 feet in the air with 6
guys on sugar sand.

or

Professing to have smoked crack, being 6 years old and remembering Nikita
Kruschevs shoe slapping speech at the UN.

 ml> until you walk in a mans shoes, you can't even begin to understand
 ml> that man...

I know a liar, braggart, hypochdriac when I see one.
