Thanks. I will start a new profile to see if that repairs the problem.
BTW, I have not noticed you giving Mark Conrad a piece of your mind lately. Also, he does not seem to be active. Wonder if he has just thrown in the towel and conceded? |
He may have just given up because he was getting no response from anybody and most people got wise to his trolling and mainly just ignored him. Trolls are attention seeking, lack confidence and have an inferiority complex. As soon as the attentions stopped and the spotlight was not on him anymore, as with most attention seekers, they give up and try somewhere else.
I think he was badly burnt and embarrassed when I set him a proper typing/dictation speed test on the Web to prove he could dictate the ridiculous amounts of words per minute he said he could dictate. As I and everybody else thought, he could not complete the test by dictating it as I had done, so all he could do was cheat instead. As I suspected all along, the writings he was putting on the Web for everybody to see and saying that he had dictated them with 100% accuracy, were in fact lies. All he could do was copy and paste them as anyone could do. This is what I mean by attention seeking and his bid to try and get people to show their admiration for him. Something lacking in him or the self-confidence thing. Quite sad really for an 80-year-old man to get like that.
Still as they say, that's life. If you read those posts between him and I, some of them were quite funny really but I think he got the picture.
As for never hearing from him again, he is a lurker which means he lurks from forums to forum, Website to Website without actually joining any of them. He just reads the comments in them without actually joining so I wouldn't be surprised if he reads this and then starts posting again in the Microsoft General Vista Newsgroup.
Having said all that, the Microsoft Vista newsgroups will be no more soon because I believe they are being closed down in June of this year.
Most of hardened Windows people I suspect then, will be moving to the new Windows 7 forums, these which are moderated more carefully than the Vista newsgroups. Any nonsense in there from Conrad or anybody else trying to advertise, won't last long.
Anyway, enough of that moron. How are you Marty? How is everything coming along?
