Helping each other in CSMA
Snit
and am happy to give examples where I have been helped (Calvin telling me
about Logitech's webcams, Sandman telling me about a Mac buyer's guide,
etc.) and where I have helped others (teaching Sandman about CSS and
alt-text, teaching Tim Adams that modern personal computers without an OS
are crippled by that lacking, etc.)
There are those that seem to disagree... I want to know why. Why would we
*not* want to help each other in CSMA? We *should* work to learn from one
another... and to not let our pride and any silly trolling get in the way of
that.
If you agree with me then please join me in offering helpful, constructive,
and specific assistance to others... such as the examples I list above.
Thanks!

Snit, shut up.
You're not the slightest bit interested in helping anyone. You're
interested in nothing but your own ego.

A worthy objective. Unfortunately - there are too many assholes on this
group. They know who they are. In reality, we all know who they are. But
keep trying - that's one of the reasons I like you. (Jimmy Lee, don't get a

If I was interested in my own ego, as you said, why would I list not just
lessons I have taught bet lessons people have taught me. Why not worry more
about yourself and how *you* can help people... in fair, honest, and
honorable ways. That would be a benefit to CSMA.
By the way, didn't you claim I was in your KF? Just wondering.

Your baseless accusations offer no real help for anyone. If anything they

have done the exact opposite of what this thread asks of you. Sad.

Your BS is not in any way helpful... I can understand why you would not want

Maybe he has emailed you privately and told you that the reason you
were in his killfile is because you are honest and honorable, but you
"challenge trolls"?
If not him, who did that?

Please answer a couple of simple questions.
1) Do you deny the WayBackMachine holds an archive of many, many
examples of your sandman,net homepage code failing to validate
and not a single one where it does? Remember, Sandman, I proved
that I am right on this:
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-html-detail.pdf>
<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-css-detail.pdf>
You lied and claimed those PDFs were forged, but the data is still available
for all to see - the data is directly from the validation services and the
WayBackMachine.
2) Do you deny that your alt-text was such silly and useless things as
"space" and "left" and "right"? Remember, Sandman, the WayBackMachine
still shows what it was in the past... easy for anyone to double check
my claim.
You claimed I lied. I claimed you lied. The Google archive, the
WayBackMachine, and the w3.org validation services are all on my side. What
evidence do you have?

You have told me people killfile you and then email you privately and
tell you they killfiled you because you "challenged trolls".

Only if they are in relation the issue of people killfiling you, which
is what I am talking about. if you want to drag up old issues, or even
new unrelated ones, I will ignore them since they constitute the Snit

you need to. But just get away from the addiction of hours in front of
the computer screen. Walk away, take a vacation without a laptop,
forget about the digital world and remember, if you are old enough, the
days before personal computers, when that box was still just a dream in
the minds of those who only cared about making a lot of money for
themselves, corporations and stockholders who don't give a hoot about
anyone - even themselves but they don't realize it. In the fifties, the
American consumer was sold a dream that a world of technology would make
life easier for us all - shortening our working hours and leading to a
life of leisure. Well, the reality is just the opposite and those who
were selling the dream are the profiteers who are pushing globalism
because it maximizes profits for a few. While you're away from your
computer, think about the dumbing down of the world population, think
about how the US coming apart at the seams is part of the plan and think
about what's really important in life - your soul, your spirit,
meaningful relationships with others that include lots of laughter,
service, kindness, concern for the well-being and feelings of others and
love - just to name a few. Think about how the greedy race for money,
power, sex, material goods - keeps us from focusing on what is really
important. Think about how government will not solve our problems but
continue to create problems for the majority of people. It doesn't
matter what party you vote for - unless a candidate is truly
independent, representing the truth and the values of simple, kind,
loving people rather than the decadent values of greed and corruption.
Most politicians are elected because they say what people want to hear
and when they get in office they do what they are told by the people who
own them - special interests. Get away from it all and seek your
independence from tyranny. The current administration in the US appears
to be corrupt and leading us toward fascism. The next democratic
administration could be just as bad, leading us into socialism. Vote
independent. Think about how the US is dividing itself into groups at
war with each other and how that is manipulated and controlled by the
power brokers and the media. Male vs female, black vs white, hispanic
vs white or black, rich vs poor, etc. If they can keep us fighting
amongst ourselves, fighting for that piece of the pie, working harder
and longer for them - they can keep us from seeing what is really going
on and what it really important. I'm shutting the machine down soon,
checking my email once a week or maybe even less, spending more time
with real people, instead of selling on eBay I'm going to an outdoor
flea market = hey it's time to get real!
