Correct. He knows *exactly what he did* which caused the lack of two way
comms for him and the author. It's his own fault and he knows it! You
can't go from badmouthing a program repeatedly on usenet and elsewhere to
essentially pretending to be a legit client asking for help. David burned
that bridge and continues to do so; ensuring he took out the pillars as
well.

Correct again. Solid advice you have provided David Brooks too. He will
not take it for what it's worth and he will continue with his campaign
against Etrecheck. The only realistic way he will stop is if the author
involves him in a lawsuit. I continue to encourage the author to respond
in this manner each time I send him copies of Davids posts; like the one
he wrote as a reply. I do my best to keep the author in the loop. I know
what David does. I didn't have the benefit at the time of a heads up or
advanced warning concerning him. So, I do my best to ensure others do
before they respond the first time. I know what he's upto and I know how
the emails will go. 

He slimes, he berates and he wastes other peoples time. He chooses to
remain ignorant concerning various aspects of tech and that's intentional
on his part too. As I told him before, av/am and the other side are well
aware of him and have the same view of him as I do. As others who have
written and supported software and been contacted by David Brooks do. 

While I appreciate you being sober and critical thinking skills enabled
enough to respond to David in the manner in which you did; I know that
David will circular file your very sound advice on this occasion and
continue doing what he does towards that author. It's just how David
Brooks is. 

I told you before, neither of you can help the other be seen as something
that you are not. The history you both have prevents it. Your current
interactions and various bullshit you've both been writing about myself
and others ensures that you won't be treated as you feel you should.
