Is this one of your insider jokes Rob?
Let's see, using "marjorie gilbert computer secuirty" as goggle
keywords, this spits out on top of the hit list -
http://www.gcn.com/21_1/news/17715-1.html
We!! BINGO, there's a Marjorie Gilbert to be found quoted within -
Director of the Prezie's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board.
What a co-incidence!
Your rants are getting sniper sharper by the day. Is she a liar too
Rob? Like iirc ya haven't ranted about any Marjorie before?
Noho ora mai,
Brian
Whoops, looks like security got misspelt above as if it was a 'irty
word... ;o(
Noho ora mai,
Brian
Oh, I don't consider her a liar. I know of her; she's never appeared on my
radar scope. Not everyone who works for Richard Clarke is bad.
Looking back at my column, I can see how you'd get the impression. I used
her name for the lying grandmother, didn't I? OUCH. If I ever dig up her
email address or phone, I'll definitely give her a personal apology. I'll
also file a Vea Culpa apology.
I merely wanted to give the grandmother a "grandmotherly" name. If you
followed George Carlin in the '70s, then you know he used "Marge" in some of
his jokes. Marge => Marjorie. Her surname fit right in for the deceased
husband and, boy, I just couldn't help myself. I should've used her name
for the clueless grandmother. (But I don't mean to say Gilbert is clueless.
Ouch. Open mouth, reinsert foot...)
Congrats to you for noticing such an obscure inside joke! You deserve a
cameo on "CSI" for your sleuthing. :-)
Rob
PS -- a public memo to Marjorie Gilbert. My sincerest apologies, ma'am. I
meant absolutely NO offense by it.
PPS -- another public memo to Marjorie Gilbert. Remember when your boss got
sideswiped by The China Syndrome? He's being left out the loop again. I
buried an esoteric clue in my column. Sleuth away.
>Congrats to you for noticing such an obscure inside joke! You deserve a

T'was not so much sleuthin', more like excessive curiosity and being
rather tickled by 'em "cute" Grandmas' concoursin'... ;o)

Brian,
A public newsgroup is NOT the place to tell a journalist about what
you perceive to be questionable or incorrect in his column. That's
what e-mail is for. And vmyths has an e-mail address *just* for this
purpose. And they publish corrections. (And here I thought you
admired and respected Rob. Guess I was wrong.)
You want to be a writer, Brian? Well, what you did was unethical and
unprofessional. You can bet any bit of respect Rob might have had
for you, *Mister Gadfly*, has now fallen by the wayside -- or perhaps
I should say fallen off the mountains you so dearly love to climb.
This is why no one trusts you, Brian. This is why no one respects
you. And *this* is why I never reply to your e-mails.
You have proven time and again what you do you do ONLY for yourself.
So Rob thanked you publicly -- whoop-ty doo. You think this made you
a hero? Well, you're *not* the hero, Brian. You're the goat. And a
goat belongs on the mountain. Far away from humans.
If you have any shred of decency, you'll offer Rob an apology. (And
do it *privately* -- NOT HERE.)

You know nothing about journalism. When you submit a correction to an
editor -- any editor, anywhere -- they don't acknowledge it with a
li'l "thank you" note. If it's justified, they just print a
retraction.
I won't debate this with you. I've worked as a professional in

ok, you say this is so, well I have no reason to doubt it other then your
track record on other things<s> I would however like to ask this. Why is
it then when I was told of my mistake of leaving off the quotes from one of
my articles and I promptly corrected it, the paper promptly printed a
retraction, I promptly contacted the original author and apologized (which
btw, he said no harm no foul and also said that seeing as how I was only
quoting something from a UseNet debate I wasn't even required to quote him
any way and could have afahwc just use it without quoting him) the you,
*especially* you seeing as how you claim to be a professional in the field.
Raised such a belie hou when I did everything that was suppose to be done
and did so in a timely fashion? and why you (and a few others) still bring
it up and harp on it? How would you like it if some of your mistakes from
very early on in your career was continually brought up? After all that was
my *first* column I had ever written.
But then again I have my suspicions why you and a few others do it, but I
don't have to tell anyone here; because they all know why you do it and
before you get on your high horse *s* no it has nothing to do with me; but
rather to do with you lack of something which is worth more then money and
can't be bought.

We all know that you are congenitally unable to comprehend the reason
Sooooog, as no matter how many times it is pointed out to you, and no
matter how carefully it is explained using very short, simple words,
you have shown over and over that you cannot or will not comprehend.
But just in case this is the proverbial "first time"...
It is an issue of scale. Just as speeding five miles per hour over the
posted limit and running a red light and side swiping another vehicle
are all traffic violations, what Laura is talking about Rob doing and
your plagiarism are (arguably) "journalism violations".
Sticking with the analogy, it should be clear for the traffic violation
cases that they are arranged in order of "magnitude" or "seriousness".
Now, what Rob did is pretty minor -- perhaps the journalistic equivalent
of speeding 5 mph over the limit -- whereas what you did is the
journalistic equivalent of deliberately running down a line of
pedestrians waiting at a bus stop then backing up over the bodies and
having another go just to make sure you got them all.
Plagiarism, as what you did is correctly know, is an enormously taboo
act among real journalists. Saying "I forgot to include the quotes"
(and any other indication that it was actually said by soemone else!)
is just a typical Sooooog worm-wriggling weasel-like attempt to get of
a whole bunch of trouble you were too stupid to even realize you could
get in before you did it. Aside from being a clear lie, the old legal
adage "ignorance is no defense" applies in spades here.
> ... How would you like it if some of your mistakes from

Yes, but you had a reputation as an accomplished liar and code-ripper
well before that, so I'd suggest that it was almost to be expected of
you, at least by those that knew your true nature. Unfortunately for
your editor, s/he was not one of those people...
> But then again I have my suspicions why you and a few others do it, but I

The only bad reputation you *think* I have is from *your lies* and
others trying to run me down for some reason, oh yes the reason is you think
you are so far above the average person that if they would even think they
could do go above their station in life your entire world and personal
feeling of self worth would be called into question.
Your are now and always have been imo a blithering snob and someone I
would not cross the street to piss on to put you out if you were on fire,
well if you were in danger of setting something else on fire I would follow
you with a fire extinguisher to make sure you only hurt yourself.

because a$$ holes like you keep repeating lies and you have never proved

You delude yourself far to much by giving yourself far too much
credit. You couldn't hurt me on a bet with anything as pitiful as anything
your tiny mind could conceive. Even 4Q at his most vile never hurt me, the
most he ever did was to get me to pray for him; but I pray for all fools
such as yourself and others.
You can lie to yourself, as you try and lie to the group; but you are
only lying to yourself even more if you think you hurt me with anything.

If you are going to LIE.......then at least make is one that some fool
with an IQ of 50 would believe!!
YOU DON'T HAVE A SPELLCHECKER!!!! WANKER!!!
G*d.........you are such a dolt!!
Tell yourself all the lies you like. I have OfficeXP Pro so now tell me I
don't have a spelling checker. In case you don't know (and twats like you
usually don't) if a person has OfficeXP installed on a Windows system and
uses OE, then enables the spelling check from within OE. Or are you even
stupider then I though and don't know Microsoft Word comes with XP and Word
is the spelling checker that is enabled from within OE. So there :oP
I do *know*, wanker........and the name is Heather, not twat. But you
are still a liar.......because there is no spellchecker on earth that
could miss the errors you continually make!!!
Case in point........ain't no such word as 'stupider'.....

Sometimes you should just ask yourself, Hmmm Sugien has OfficeXP, which
allows Microsoft's Word's spelling checker to work via OE. If Sugien uses
it, then why do these mistakes make it through? Answer; because he is
letting certain ones through. The bigger question is why?

hmm, has a certain quality. I misread the post at first, thinking that it
said infantiam, which, in context would have been far funnier.
Infantiam is the accusative (transitive verb) form of infantia, which means
lack of eloquence, or inability to speak :-)
-AJ
Spelling checkers only check spelling, it is the grammatical errors and
the use of the wrong words that will still make it through. For instance
Raid usually says 'quiet' when he means 'quite'; both are spelt correctly
but only one is used correctly in context. Nobody jumps on him about
it 'cause he isn't as much fun. ;o) You on the other hand, although it does
seem to aggravate you, have a sense of humor about it.

It doesn't aggravate me at all; but it does give me pleasure to make others
think so<BFG>
But that does clear up something I suspected. I had thought all along they
knew things were spelled correctly and I was wondering why they kept saying
they weren't, well except for the internal wrong spellings I let through
from time to time. Know I know they are just ignorant and don't know any
better or are just trying in vein to rile me. I dare say I have not be mad
in what is it now,hmm almost 20 years and the last time I got mad I almost
went to jail, so I have learned anger management and also as I get older it
takes more and more to even come close to making me mad, I guess because I
am taking less and less seriously and about the only think that would even
come close to getting me mad now days would be for someone in RL to say
something to or try and hurt my family; but then that is why I almost went
to jail almost 20 years ago<s>
are you so sure that isn't what I wanted to say? after all look whom I was
saying it about, lol

just for the record, females can not be wankers nor twats although they can

the wanker and twat insult only apply to males.
women can however talk bollocks and so can men who have the bollocks in the

No, the bigger question is WHY do you continually lie about everything??
Do you really have a spellchecker (NO) and do you use it (NO)........so
stop wriggling, worm. For instance, you always spell matter as
'mater'......any spellchecker would pick that up.
You can't spell, ergo you can't look words up in the
dictionary.......but we did spell 'wanker' for you......check that one
out.
HF
Well I was giving you time to figure it out for yourself; but seeing as how
you must just plane be too stupid to figure it out, I guess I will have to
explain to your tiny mind. The reason my spelling checker does not pick up
on mater as being matter misspelled is (now try and wrap that tiny brain
around this) because there is such a word as mater here you go
:Noun: mater
1. mama
Adjective: mat
1. free from gloss; not reflecting light
Not to be confused with:
Noun: matter
1. a vaguely specified concern
2. some situation or event that is thought about
3. that which has mass and occupies space
4. written material (especially in books or magazines)
5. a problem
Verb: matter
1. have weight; have import, carry weight
Adjective: matt
1. free from gloss; not reflecting light
Now just to further point it out to the undeniably very tiny 2 celled
brain of yours and for your future reference ** A spelling checker will only
correct words that are spelled wrong, ergo words for which it has no listing
in its data base; because a spelling checker can not tell if you really
meant another word or not it can rather only tell if you spelled a word
which doesn't show up in it's data base.
So if you really want to try and use your 2 celled organism laughingly
referred to as a brain to try and correct me at least do so properly and
tell my that I need to use my *grammar* checker, which by the way my word
that comes with my OfficeXP (pressing F7 from within a word document brings
it up) also has; but which is not usable from within OE. Well unless I
were to copy and paste my post into word check it for grammar and then copy
and paste it back which I am no inclined to do.
I care little if you believe me about my having OfficeXP and ergo a
spelling checker, and even less if you believe where I got it from. (A
Friend at Microsoft sent me a OfficeXP Professional Developers Edition
gratis; because of something I made them privy to instead of reporting the
bug/hole to the media or web pages and they are very grateful to anyone that
does that privately and saves them a public tongue lashing )
But please continue accusing me of not having a spelling checker;
because it just gives me more ammunition when I show my friends and family
what goof balls inhabit this news group; because I can show the archived
posts you have made and then my spelling checker and get a few extra laughs.
Well that is I shoe my spelling checker if it is one that doesn't already
know, and usually that is if it is a friend of a friend that comes over with
them and I am meeting them for the first time or something; because most all
my friends and family already know what nut cases you all are any way;
because this (and a few other) news groups has been the brunt of many a joke
and responsible for endless laughs and truly about the only reason I post
here is because I know I can count on this news group and those that post
here for a good laugh just about every day.
> my friends and family already know what nut cases you all are any way;
...and here I was operating under the misconception that I was
*not* a nutcase. Thanks for clearing that up Sugien.

at least in included my self; because last time I looked I was also a poster

Go for it, buy it and study it.

No you are wrong and you would most probably by what you say be quite
surprise at my vocabulary:o) The problem is that know a lot of words
sometimes hinders someone that spells worse as the speed of their typing and
thoughts increase. Sometimes spelling one word when meaning the other. And
yes that word is in my vocabulary; but after I run the spelling checker I
just don't take the time to re-check it. To me it is a minor trivial point
and academia makes too much of spelling; but that is just my opinion and
everyone has one it is just that some are in danger of drowning from
sticking it up in the air.
That's not good enough!!! No closed loop for you, matey... ;o(

Therein lies the conundrum <g>
Would you rather take that one extra editorial moment to insure accuracy, or
just "let it fly" and have to spend many anguished moments defending the
attacks, against your intelligence, and everything else those querulous nit
pickers can imagine?
I think you demonstrate your preference, to the dismay of your supporters.
and to the glee of his detractors.
On the odd occasion that I can be bothered to wade through one of your posts
Paul, it appalls me. Your grasp of grammar let alone spelling is worse than
my five year old daughter. That isn't meant to be imflammatory its fact and
if you feel that no one "understands" what you are trying to say then that
may be why.
Another small but important point: do you actually know what a paragraph is?
It would really help in reading your posts.
Nicky
Well while they are on my case they are leaving someone else alone. I truly
love it when it sticks in their crawl and feel compelled to corrections. It
reminds me of my school days and a certain teacher that had I not wanted to
irritate her some much my gpa would have been a little higher; but I just
could not bring myself to do as she asked; simply because I felt her red
pencil was used more when my papers flew into the face of the accepted norm.
I am however happy that time and shall I say the universe has long since
proven me right however and her wrong. I sure wish I could find here and
wave a few Scientific American articles under her nose and say "see, see I
was right, and you were and are wrong just like what I said". However just
my knowing that my views were proven right and hers have been relegated to
the old theories pile like what the sun revolving around the earth and the
flat earth theories have been.
Someone has to bring a little glee into there otherwise drab and dreary poor
excuse for a life.

I will try and add more paragraph break; but there is one thing some
here just seam to be missing. Although several people rag on my spelling
and grammar and all that, why do you think it is that they still read it?
I think aside from my sometimes obvious attempt at humor, some of them
just can't wait to get home and see what Sugien is up to today. No I am not
full of myself, I am just stating honestly what I think some here do. They
go to their job they can't stand and work for a boss that they think if it
were not for the bad break they got in life that the boss would be working
for them. Then they see some joe blow get hired in and advance past them or
advance in half the time it took them.
Maybe they get stuck in traffic jam and their mind starts to wonder and
eventually it will wonder "Hmmm I wonder if Sugien has ticked of someone
today, or maybe made and ars of himself, hmm wonder if he will ever grow up"
But I don't mind it is ok with me. I just like to mess around the net and
have some fun. True sometimes it is at someone's expense that thinks there
$hit don't stink; but that is just the way it goes.
They continually say they can't stand the way I write or frame my
posts; but they keep reading them any way. Have you ever wondered why if
they can't stand my post as much as what they say, then why don't they
simply NOT read them?
Maybe I am just one of those people that you love to hate and hate to
love, and in spite of yourself you like me and you can't stand it because
you do, so you try and correct my post to make them easer for you to read.
One of the problems with the world is that there are those that think
everyone must conform to what their perception of reality should be. They
can't stand when someone stands outside the box and shouts back into the box
"hey get a life you are suffocating in that box"
Well I could go on, and on, and on and on:o) But as some say I also
post to lengthy of a post:
I was very surprised to hear that some men are named "Sandy". I wonder
if that is common?

Shirley and Marion were once common male names too.
This is why I try not to assume the gender of a poster from
the name alone. But it does get tiring typing 'he/she said' or
'his/her computer' all of the time.

I was toying with adding more paragraph break anyway; but very doubtful if I
add white space; because I can't see bandwidth going to waste like that and
a blank line between paragraphs uses just about as much bandwidth as a full
line of text and in fact enough of the breaks will increase bandwidth

See definition #2
http://tinyurl.com/2apm
My usage was intended to convey the meaning;
"to make certain of accuracy", and thus falls within that definition.

It inserts a qualifying phrase that defines the target of those attacks,
"against his intelligence" as opposed to "against his family"
therefore the comma stays, thanks.

Over the last week instead of doing the above collectively, I've only

couple of folks outside of this watering hole.
This cryptic initiative is to be entitled - Captain Clayton's Hauraki

Hmm, well, it seems that according to that site that it does, however, that
may be a NA thing, certainly in English English that wouldn't be the word
used. Perhaps the words are used interchangeably in NA?

"defending the attacks against your intelligene, and ..."
Does imply the target, if you had written
"defending the attacks against your intelligence, as opposed to your
family, and... "
then the qualifying phrase would be within commas.
Commas are a readability aid, and IMNSHO the sentence was less readable
with the comma there, as it put an unnatural break in it.
But I'm not going to lose sleep if you disagree ;-)

It's often hard to defend the indefensible. The only way is to draw
attention to the good and the bad in equal proportion, that way, we do not
forget the ultimate humanity of the object. To seek to destroy is not, and
has not been, my intention.
Actually, I sometimes have no idea what the hell my intention is!!

I'm not associated with the "risk management" area of business, so can't supply
any relevant examples of the words in question, however, it is quite common for
many words to be used differently, by different groups, in different
circumstances.
If you have access to the USA broadcast media, you'll be amazed at the level of
poor grammar, mispronounced words (I'm not talking about regional accents), and
general syntactical confusion.
This sentence will often exhibit those variances:
"I hope the harassment is short lived"

I could have included a litany of opposing circumstances and exceptions, but
chose to only include the one qualifier.
It's like ordering a hamburger and specifying only what you want on it versus
listing the entirety of undesired condiments.
