Approaching Milestone for ARBR
"Jeff Grippe" jeff@door7 wrote in message ... "Edward Dolan" wrote in message ... I will not look up crap like this. I asked what it meant and all I get are know it all comments from idiots like you. Write it out if you want to be understood. No Ed, you didn't ask. If you had asked, I would have answered. You are far to arrogant to ask. Instead you got confrontational and flat out refused to ask. But why am I telling you this. You know who you are and what you did. Remember when they called Kerry a "flip flopper"? If he was one then it must be a skill he learned from you as you are clearly the living master of the art. Well, I clearly asked SOMEONE what it meant. Maybe Perry Butler? But I am way too lazy to go back and look any of this up. Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

"Jeff Grippe" jeff@door7 wrote in message ... [...] I have no problem explaining acronyms that you don't understand unless, like our friend Ed, you post a message that says "I'm not going to ask and I'm not going to look it up". That amounts to pride in ignorance. As for other examples, it really is impossible for me to know what you don't know but there are gaps in everyone's knowledge including mine. It happens all the time that someone shows me the simplest thing that I end up being surprised I didn't already know. I am often amazed but never do I claim that if I don't already know it, it isn't worth knowing. I expect others to write everything out unless the initials and acronyms are as common as mud. It is highly presumptuous to expect the reader to look up anything that is not common knowledge by resorting to initials and acronyms. Intelligent writers never do that sort of thing. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

wrote in message oups.com... Edward Dolan wrote: Perry knows what is going on here even if you don't. I REFUSE to look up anything. It comes from my professional training as a college librarian. Are you sure you had "professional training as a college librarian"? From what cereal box did you get your degree? No wonder you didn't have a career as a librarian! You obviously missed the reason for libraries! LIBRARIES ARE WHERE YOU GO TO LOOK THINGS UP! Geez!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy, Perry B Perry has got it half right, but at least 90% of the students who are in college should not be there. They are way too stupid for anyone to waste time on them. All they want out of life is to maximize their incomes and they think they can do that if they have a college degree. As a librarian I would delight in steering the student in the right direction, but I would absolutely refuse to do any of his work for him. The main function of a librarian is to provide the resources - period. It is up to the student to figure out how to access those resources. The main problem with most librarians is that they want to be TOO helpful. I never made that mistake and I would give the student a good swift kick in the pants in order to get him to do his own freaking research. Of all the students I have ever had the misfortune to deal with, there were only about 10% that were worth bothering with. All the others should have gone to a trade school where they could end up like Perry Butler, a blind man leading the blind. Truth to tell, I am an elitist and believe that a college education ought to be reserve for the privileged few. I am a European at heart and I do not believe in this American obsession with education. All that most slobs need in this world is a high school education with a trade school thrown in at the end so that the working man can get an income from their miserable jobs. Real education and real life is reserved for Great souls like myself. The unexamined life is not worth living and that is the kind of life that most men lead. I give you Perry Butler as an example of what I am talking about. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |

"Jeff Grippe" jeff@door7 wrote in message ... "HHS" wrote in message ... I looked up DSL. To better understand it one would also need to know ISDN, DSLAM, DBS, DMT, DWNT, DNS, DWMT, G.dmt, and G.lite along with a seemingly endless stream of other acronyms and what they stand for. So I leave all that with you and the others. If I must learn them I'm confident I will when that day comes, but until then I intend to go on in my own blissful, willful, arrogant acronym unknowledge. It isn't important to understand the long list of acronyms that you supplied. The important point is DSL = high speed internet. This is all that the telephone companies who sell it need for you to understand. The acronym has become a thing that doesn't require technical knowledge to be useful. Likewise if you are a parent of a young child today, you don't have to understand ADD/ADHD at a technical level to have a working knowledge of what is involved. It is a subject that will come up and as a parent you will be exposed to it over and over. All you need to understand at a basic level is ADD/ADHD = learning problem or behavior problem. That is the core of what is funny about applying it to Ed as a joke. Jeff This seems to take us back to our starting point where the only acronyms we really need to know are the important ones which appear on magazine covers or those that the marketers require us to know for the purchase their products. |

Johnny ReBike [Slowest Bike in the Known Universe] is here to annoy ed doofus. dolan should be Dolan. Maybe you could take a cue from your mentor Tom Sherman and contribute something to this group yourself instead of mindlessly trolling with idiotic nonsense. But in any event, Sherman was overrated by various members of this group. He was OK when on-topic and he most definitely was NOT OK when he was off-topic. But he is gone now because he got disgusted with the likes of you. It is amusing indeed to consider that Ed Gin (Johnny ReBike) has concern for what others may or may not be contributing to society when all he has ever done is to destroy this newsgroup by his criminal vandal trolling. Don't believe me? Go back and review the posts of last February. There you will see nothing but forgeries and false names, ever the hallmarks of a criminal. -- Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
