FYI to all of those people who have noticed Paul Lotus' signature of
:www.arachnoid.com. Do not use his HTML product "arachnophilia" unless
you are an amateur web designer. There is a much better and free product
called First Page 2000 (www.evrsoft.com) which is an excellent product.

To see the limitations of arachnophila, just go to www.epinions.com and
read what the pros have to say (i.e. "its free, but you get what you pay
for!" is but one example) In general, Paul has managed to generate a
bunch of hype for himself and his products (one example: 90% recommend his
product, but read the 'cons' part of the reviews. They consistently show
arachnophilia for what it is: a toy)

Good Luck!

A real display of intellectual skill. You can't even spell my name.

So lying is a way of life for you, eh? You do realize, don't you, that what
was left of your credibility just evaporated?

At least spell it correctly. It seems Naus was forced out of fifth grade
because his teachers feared he would hit puberty in the company of
innocents.

This is, of course, as misleading as rumors of Naus' intelligence. The
majority (90%) gave positive reviews. And virtually none of the reviewers
are "pros."

Flunked statistics too, I see.

The remaining 10%, Naus? Do you even realize how lame this sounds?

> show arachnophilia for what it is: a toy)

What a lying troll. For those not already informed, the above is all
deliberate lies by a misguided sociopath who just burst out of the
cyber-nursery. And he invented "toy" out of whole cloth -- no one said it.

A typical review of Arachnophilia:

http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,2076,00.asp

Here is a German Arachnophilia manual, laboriously translated from the
English by some loyal fans who didn't hear the news that Arachnophilia is a
"toy":

http://members.telering.at/gerhard.klafboeck/internet/arachnophilia/arach-hb.htm

I could go on listing pages, but there's no point. Naus is a lying
psychopath.

A Google search for "arachnophilia" yields 55,300 pages. Of course, the
people behind these almost universally positive pages haven't heard the
fast-breaking news that Arachnophilia is just a "toy."

At epinions.com, the vast majority gave positive reviews, and most of the
reviews predate the current cross-platform version, which is better in many
ways than its predecessor.

Resume your medication, Naus, or you will soon be in very serious trouble.
The next person you publicly lie about may not be as sympathetic to your
congenital shortcomings and dubious parentage as I am.

First of all, there are some professional web designers that wrote
unfavorable reviews about your precious arachnophilia.

Second, if you continue to slight me personally and put forth lies about
my character, I will take legal action.

As for 'flunking' statistics, here are some statistics for you:
--I took 4 undergraduate statistics courses and received an A in each.
--My father is a professor of statistics and has been for over 40 years.
I am sure I know more about statistics than you will ever know.

As for spelling: It is truly sad that you insist on focusing on such a
trivial aspect of our education. You pride yourself on 'creativity', yet
you are so pedantic and petty. There is a reason the 'spell checker'
exists, and the 'art generator' or 'nobel prize creator' does not.

If YOU post, post on topic and cast no aspersions on my character...OR
ELSE.

Since I never made a contrary claim, so what? You have yet to prove your
claim, and even if you had done so, it shows nothing except that you are
terribly misguided.

WHAT? You are in no position to threaten legal action. If you think you are
in such a position, you need prompt professional counseling, before you
post one more line in this NG.

More of the same. When are you going to learn this means precisely nothing?
Answer -- when you learn how science works.

Your "defense" is like saying "I can't be responsible for this traffic
accident -- I have a driver's license." Scarcely sensible, extremely
sophomoric.

Here is more of the same:

> --My father is a professor of statistics and has been for over 40 years.

Honestly. If you think the above is an argument for your level of statistics
knowledge, ipso facto you have no statistics knowledge. How
self-referential, and how sad.

> I am sure I know more about statistics than you will ever know.

You are utterly wrong. Your knowledge level is as low as your flawed notion
of proof. It's painful to witness, but you actually think saying "my father
is a professor" is a meaningful argument in this or any context. This
speaks volumes about your knowledge of statistics -- and genetics, I might
add.

> As for spelling: It is truly sad that you insist on focusing on such a
> trivial aspect of our education.

OF COURSE you think spelling is too trivial for words -- your prose is also
too trivial for words. Also, you haven't figured out that in computer
science, not knowing how to spell is often professionally fatal. Look
forward to a career of syntax error messages instead of solid
accomplishments.

> You pride yourself on 'creativity', yet
> you are so pedantic and petty.

Spoken by one who thinks "I go to an ivy league school" is not pedantic and
petty, not to mention irrelevant? Your alma mater cringes in embarrassment.

> There is a reason the 'spell checker'

Apropos Nobel, you have accomplished precisely nothing, therefore your
fantasies are just that, for now. And always capitalize "Nobel."

Spell checkers cannot prevent ignorance or even disguise it. Your
embarrassing sentence "your not succeding" (sic) from a previous post would
have only been partially repaired by a spell checker, and as to the
reasoning behind the sentence, well, there is no spell checker for that.

> If YOU post, post on topic and cast no aspersions on my character...OR
> ELSE.

As your present and prior posts are entirely off-topic and falsely attack
me, this is more proof that you think rules are only for other people. It
also shows that "hypocrisy" is not yet on your Scrabble word list.

Now rent a life, OR ELSE. Clearly, neither you nor your parents can afford
to buy you one.

Your behavior has been dishonest, reprehensible, and embarrassing to your
parents. I would add "actionable", except that you and your crimes are too
fatuous and insignificant to bother even saying it.

As to "aspersions on your character," well, you unbelievable hypocrite. You
just tried to disparage one of my programs, and my character, at length.
You failed because the effort was composed entirely of transparent lies,
but that's not the point. You are a world-class hypocrite, and a sad case
of petty failed narcissism.

Besides, aspersions on your character are stillborn -- you have yet to shape
one.

So far, your posts only reveal your wildly distorted perception of reality,
and your complete lack of a sense of proportion. "Pathology" is not too
strong a word for it.

Again, seek counseling before claiming that you have a basis for legal
action. I contemplate no such action, not for lack of cause, but it might
mean I would have to meet you briefly as you were led handcuffed away to
jail.

I can do without that. If I really wanted to meet people who operate at your
level, I would subscribe to National Enquirer.

I have yet to detect the faintest glimmer of common sense from you. Too much
TV as a child, I would guess.

WHAT?! LOL... oh man, that's the best I've seen today.

Ha! I stand corrected on my previous statement.

What a gimp.
