So did I.
You are the very model of a newsgroup personality.
You intersperse stupidity with tedious banality.
Psudonyms you've plenty of; both genuine and ghosted, too,
On all the countless newsgroups that your drivel is cross-posted to.
Our bandwidth you will fritter with your whining and your snivelling,
And we're the ones who pay the bills, downloading all your drivelling.
Your enemies are numerous, and no-one would be blaming us
For cracking your head open after you've been rudely flaming us.
You hate to lose an argument (by now you should be used to it).
You wouldn't know a valid point if you were introduced to it.
Your learning is extensive but consists of mindless trivia,
Designed to fan your ego, which is larger than Bolivia.
The comments that you vomit forth, disguised as jest and drollery,
Are really just an exercise in unremitting trollery.
You say you're frank and forthright, but that's merely lies and vanity,
The gibberings of a loonie on the limits of his sanity.
With apologies to Gilbert and Sullivan :-)

Has this chappy got as far as upgrading the so-called 'faq' (which
might be frequent but has little else to recommend it) to include the
warning that 'repairing with gusto' only applies to transistorised PAs
with low power output and not compact valve PAs with 600V on the
anodes?
If not, why did he introduce that caveat elsewhere?
Still, let us not forget this was the same chappy who sold an FT-101
because the tune-up pages were missing from the manual.

The only things I know about her is her habit of cowering
behind twitching curtains, her watching of the film, "The
Bitches of Toko-Roko", and being able to prove in
20-page obsessive (and irrelevant) dissertations that I
know nothing about certain topics based purely on my
use of a comma in place of a semi-colon.

a graphic illustration of the critique below!
Go to uk.rec.models.engineering, and google for
author, "Novae Artes"; the modus operandi is
unmistakeable!
She demonstrates so well her neurotic obsession coupled
with her desperate need to make insulting remarks in a
long and vitriolic diatribe that once again, seizes on some
trivial and irrelevant point. (The Yanks almost certainly will
not have heard of Araldite)
Not only that, but by having to go to the web to find some
material to quote from somebody else, she demonstrates so
well that not only does she know nothing about the simple
mechanical and electrical properties of tuning condensers,
she knows nothing about anything and is incapable of
enjoining discussion off the top of her head. It is no
wonder that in an interest that is calimed to have lasted
for 50 years, she has not achieved any licence, not even
an M3/CB Fools' Licence promoted by the gangrenous
degeneration that is the RSCB council and all its members.
What a silly, silly girl is she!

You mean someone ELSE has proved you wrong. This is a common modus operandi

The Sweeny Psychiatrist
The Psychiatrists report:
When the orator for decency aka Gareth Evans is challenged, criticised,
or just ridiculed,
He refers to the other person(s) as she.
So it seems in order to denigrate them he changes their gender to
female in his postings.
This is extremely interesting, and points to a hatred of females,
followed by their subjugation by him.
It could also be coupled to a deep loathing of his mother who possibly
failed him some way in his eyes.
Such problems are not uncommon in males who have a problem with normal
life.
Also it is quite common in sexually dysfunctional subjects.
I would warn females not to approach an individual with such a profile
His wife has a lot to endure with the obsessive nature of her husband,
and we should feel sorry for her.
This is a case that we will have to study more closely.

I see from the interesting thread on uk.rec.models.engineering, and a

in this case he has chosen the mechanism - which he can name but
doubtless will not do so - of mentioning something irrelevant to
support what passes for his argument (if it can be graced with such a
name). He said that "The Yanks almost certainly will
not have heard of Araldite", completely missing the point that the
original development of the precursors to the Araldite range were
German and Swiss, and the product marketed internationally!
What a narrow outlook, slim technical base, and thin skin this chap
has.
BTW, what happened to his situation that has made his plea ("Sorry -
no Internet access during the week.") nugatory? Some sort of ISP
failure? A 'high moral stance' in relation to a professional concern?
One wonders - for a microsecond or so.
