Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

You know, I had dropped this hours ago, when it looked like it was going to resort to personal attacks. But instead, Mr. Tweedle, I’ll  simply point out how ridiculous your ‘confidentiality notice’ is on a yahoo group where your ‘confidential email’ was posted on a public web site. Have a nice day!

Jon K. Carroll,

You are not only arrogant and gratuitously rude ... you ass-idiously continue to prove it.

  All I said was that Balma was a frequent contributor on VSE as well. That was exactly what I said. And when you seemed unable to find VSE by yourself, I said that searching for “VSE Balma” would mysteeeeeriously lead you to the website you couldn’t find and were trying desperately to be snarky about your inability to find. I didn’t say that he had written an encyclopedic tome on the programming of the P2k engine there, just that he was a regular contributor.

  I err on the side of expecting someone to have a modicum of ability to do further research on a topic by themselves and not having to be spoonfed information.

  On second thought, don’t go to VSE. Your attitude that we should to all the work for you... well, I guess you’d need me to cite specific examples of what exactly would happen, because you have to ability to extrapolate when given a bit of information to start from.

  Just for the fun of it, I took your suggestion and did an internet search for VSE and Balma.  In the first 10 pages there was only one possibly relevant link:

  I did not go past 10 search engine pages of results, but I will take you at your word that IN YOUR BROWSER there may have been a whole bunch more--and maybe even ones more recent that 2010. I have read some articles about how search engines work--or don't work, depending on your perspective.  I have read about customized search results based on preferences that might be totally transparent to internet users. I have even been in chat where people looked up the same thing in a search engine and got different results. 


  I usually err on the side of providing too much explanation in my efforts to be helpful. I try to avoid assuming that people have the same background knowledge and/or experiences that I have, etc.  That's why I looked up the link I was familiar with, verified that there was an indeed an explanation of patchcords that used SLOOP, posted the link, and gave relevant background. 


  But that's me.
