Nice one. You were wrong so change the subject instead of learning from it. :mrgreen:

The thread's initial topic ran its course 3 months ago.
“ computer users can be divided into 2 categories:
Those who have lost data
...and those who have not lost data YET ”

It's a sign of the times and it looks like it's all downhill from here.

Perhaps you missed this thread. Moglen's stunning assessment of what's happening to human cognitive ability is evident everywhere you look. tl;dr has become the norm. Or variants: tl;dl (too long;didnt listen) or tl;dt (too long; didn't think).
May the FORK be with you!

I thought this thread was resurrected as an homage to Garry who is so missed around here and content was irrelevant.
