John....

>>Except that they targeted Fox applications. It does little good to be too generic in your message. You have to put some sort of hook in the message.

You asked for an add that did not have half truth as compared with the statement that Fox applications are the cause of index corruption and I gave it to you.

>>Offense? Again, why do folks like yourself get personally offended here? It
makes zero sense?

"like yourself" huh?

Again John you are reading YOUR fealings into this and mine. I have NEVER at any point indicated that I was offended by this. I have simply said that I can understand how others were. How it is that you can not... should cause you some concern.

For all your vaunted claims of careful reading you can not even get this simple fact straight. So here it is again for you....READ MY LIPS.....

I've never claimed to have taken any offence... I've already made that statement to you in two other posts and am doing it again for the third time. I think the letter was "silly" but I do understand how others may have been offended by it. If you insist in reading between the lines and/or projecting others feelings into mine... I can't stop you... but you are only showing yourself as one that can not take a simple statement of truth and understand it.

>>Please. That at best was an olive branch.

You have a real need to appear as if you can read peoples intentions from abstract words. How can you know this was his intention? The truth is that you can not. You can try and make others THINK that you can but you really have no way of knowing.


>>I thought at first managers where getting this letter. My logic being circular and flawed, I don't think so.

And that John, will be your ultimate demise in what ever you do. You have no ability to think yourself wrong.

John... since you so value expertise take a moment and listen and read this carefully.

I say what I am about to say to you out of 20+ years of counseling others. You need to look into why you are so compelled to be right.... why you think your opinion is so much more important than others... why you have so much anger.... and why anyone that does not agree with you is some how less of a person. I've gone back and looked at your history on the UT and to be honest with you... John you have a great need of some serious counseling. There is a whole lot of latent and expressed anger... hostility... and ego problems that need attention. If you do not get it done before you enter the legal profession you are going to be another burn out statistic at the very least.

I've seen it ( and lived it ) too many times. Myself, I suffered that burn out and it was tragic. You remind me a lot of myself before I burned out..crashed a horrible crash and like to have lost everything. So I also speak from experience. You are heading for a large crash that could well leave you with nothing and nobody. I hope that does not happen. It would be a sad thing.

>>Darwins Law... Enough said..

Darwin has never been proven right. His is only a theory but anyone that can not even read plain and simple words without injecting their opinions will never be able to discuss this in a reasonable manner so perhaps it needs to be left alone.

>>No, I am not saying Fox is not a possible option.

Again John, it is not about what YOU said. It is about what the letter said and what HE said did not leave any doubt as to direction. Ultimatly HIS is the closed mind. You argument is kind of like the people that demand tolerance and diversity of views in Religion but rant at you if you even mention the name of God. Again, flawed logic and reason.

>>However, I am also saying that SQL is a possible option as well. The client's best interest is in having all options objectively presented to him/her.

Which was NOT done in this letter.

Anyway.... ENOUGH... feel free to continue to misquote and misintrepret any of this that you choose...as for me... I've known too many people like you and I know that any further discussion is futile so I will not continue to beat a dead cow.

I will say once again, and for the third or fourth time.... I sincerly wish that you would redirect your energies to helping answer the technical questions here at the UT. You have so much to offer.

Good Luck and Peace to you.
