Broken Link. My God Apple software is bad. No wonder it's banished from the enterprise.

Actually, bakr the Liar is now using <> to post his links, something he
didn't do in the past.
It's a lot easier for the reader but poor him, he's obligated to type
these in as he's using antiquated sw on a toy OS.

That makes a lot of difference. Let us acknowledge it.
He makes an effort to be readable, which others childishly refuse to do.
I frequently disagree with him, but how boring would a thread be if we
were all the same opinion?

Let us rather acknowledge the truth: that I have used angle brackets to
enclose links... ...basically forever.

As have I, maybe not as consistently as you, but the vast majority of my
links, especially those longer than 70+ lines.

I have no problem with divergent (from mine) opinions as long as they
are truthful and hold some water.
In bakr's case, he has spent the major part of the past 3 years
defending the fact that his links were not broken and that everyone
else's software was defective and *here he is*, in spite of his endless
Jeremiahds, fixing what was *never* supposed to be broken, according to
him, in the first place after he realized he was wrong.
The hypocrisy is deafening.

Which proves my original argument that one needs to perform many more
operations on toy Macs to get the same job done which he and every other
fanguuurl knew to be true.

Does this mean that someone has mended Nashton and Michel's broken
clients now and they can accept RFC-compliant URL's? That would be the
first in.. what, two decades? :)

Tell you what, Nicolas, you go back and show me a link I posted at the
time of that argument, where I didn't enclose it in angle brackets...

Hahaha, Characters, Nashton, I mistakenly wrote "lines" where I meant
"characters", and you thought I meant... "words"... That I add angle
brackets when a URL is longer than 70+.... words.

Yes, that's how stupid you are.

BINGO!! Prior to 6/8 his links were broke, but after the people on
CSMS walked him through the fix they now work. And he claims to be a
"computer consultant"? HA, HA!

[Alan Baker]

Hey, Michael! You know what would make that absolutely concrete if it
were true:

Ah, yes, the "Michael" thing; when you sucked down a spoofed email
address as if it were gospel. As if you found a nugget of gold in a
pile of dung. What an amusing dupe you are. You were PWNED, or
played, if you will, and you try desperately to deny what you know is
true. Tee hee.

>an example!

The settings that you changed in your machine are not visible to me.
Therefore, I can't post an example, as you well know.

What is concrete; prior to 6/8 and before the people in CSMS walked
you through the fix, your links were broke, and now they're fixed.
Did you at least thank them?

It was amusing; your constant babblings on how everyone else's
equipment was defective, when in fact it is you, who is defective.

It will be amusing when you keep babbling how, "they were never
broken, but are now fixed". Tee hee.

Babble away, nothing you say will change history.

Babble.

[Alan Baker]

How would that prevent you from posting an example of links in previous
posts where I supposedly didn't wrap them in angle brackets.

Again, show me a link I posted prior to 6/8 that is both:

1. not surrounded in angle brackets.

2. more than a single line.

My advice to a goat face like you, who looks like you had a fire on
your face and the firemen put it out with screwdrivers: You should
have left you links alone and kept bleating to all who complained
"it's not my equipment, blah, blah, blah"...in that way you wouldn't
look like the nothing you are.

And now, because it's your obsession to have the last word on every
branch of every thread - I leave you to bleat on.

Bleat.

Bleat.
