I've been on usenet for decades, and don't remember interacting with 
you until just the past year or so.

I can't speak for others, but, I'm far from stupid, Arlen. I elected 
not to help you for a very specific reason; and I made that perfectly 
clear to you. You were incapable of being a responsible adult and 
issuing an apology. Due to that, and only that, I opted not to 
provide you any specific details concerning sharing your Android 
device internal/external memory over your network via a drive letter 
mount. I've also noticed, you have so far, failed to be able do that 
on your own. Evidently, you aren't anywhere near as smart as you 
thought you were.

You act far more like a child than any of the people you listed, and 
that's saying quite a bit considering you listed Anoncoward and David 
Brooks.

Your tactic is what causes others to pause before assisting you, if 
anyone does so in the first place. I don't know who told you that 
childish insults would get you far with people, but, they mislead 
you.

I find you highly amusing though, Arlen. Simply because you can't 
figure out how to do very basic things that you come here and ask for 
help with. You then proceed to belittle others, but, never manage to 
get what you want done in the process. That, is highly entertaining 
and it costs me nothing.

Fact. I have shared android access across my network as a drive 
letter for the internal memory and my external memory. You do not. 
It's been months now, and you still haven't figured out how to do it.
 
Yes, I still find it highly amusing. I also can't help but notice 
your newbie programming Android efforts are a dismal failure too. Too 
funny. Carry on with your insults, it's clear they're not getting you 
the help you want with your projects.

He pulls the same shit on the iOS and macOS newsgroups for hours upon
hours daily, and fails miserably to get the simplest things done for
months there as well - all while insulting everyone there and claiming
he's smarter than everyone on the planet. He shows what an idiot he is
every time he opens his big mouth. It's really pathetic to watch him go
down in flames over and over again, all while screaming "FAKE NEWS" when
anyone points out his stupidity.

Just today I was pondering the possible re-emergence of Usenet since
most of the big social media sites are either failing or opting out.

He's very amusing at times with what he thinks are witty insults. He 
claims to have been on usenet for decades in newsgroups I've frequented 
for decades, yet, somehow, he has no idea what my normal posting handle 
actually is. :) I just don't buy that.
 
Watching him publish hello world programs as he went through online 
tutorials for programming Android devices was hilarious from my point 
of view; that being, decades of actual programming experience on a wide 
variety of platforms. Not scripts, but, actual programs that worked as 
intended, from scratch. No hand holding GUI, etc.

I love me some AVR "Hello World" programs.  Although I was a stupid and
got Microchip's new "1-series" boards, and they're not the same as the
older ATTinyx5's that I've been playing with.

I'm definitely a midroad programmer at best ... and it is quite humbling
when you have to sit and really rack your brain for how to do "read this
pin" when there aren't any tutorials out there.

Maybe I should make one.  Eventually. When I suck less, so I'm not just
one more example of "bad tutorial on the internet".

Hi Diesel,
I have a strategy which is to use Usenet to get answers to tech questions.
(Yeah, crazy strategy ... I know ... many use Usenet for their amusement.)

My strategy is to share & cull & combine data to solve problems, together.
I use tactics to manage the threads where I ask those technical questions.

Two tactics I use consistently are to:
a. Mirror the implied intent of each post - regardless of prior history
b. Directly confront the cowardly bullies - of which you are one

The purpose of confronting the cowardly bullies is obvious:
o. Once they've infested a thread - the potluck picnic is already ruined
o. Make it "less fun" for the bullies - hoping they refrain next time

It's a battle of percentages, Diesel. 
o One hundred percent of the time I will confront you cowardly bullies

The goal is for you to KNOW that I will do that.
o I will simply let _you_ make a fool of yourself, Dustin.
o By pointing out the very words that you post (they're always of a child)

If you consider me pointing out your very words to be "witty", so be it.
o I simply consider my tactic merely letting you prove you're a child.

Bear in mind, Diesel, and those like you, Dustin.
o While there is no love lost between us - I don't care about you.
o I just want you to act like an adult when posting to threads I care about

Simple. Consistent. 
o A strategy to work a thread so that technical answers result.
o Tactics that fit that strategy and that deter childish bullies like you.

After having said that, you now know my strategy & tactics Diesel.
o Some bullies, like Char Jackson & Snit & Wolf K insists on their rights
o They, like Alan Baker & Jason Betts insist on a God-given right to Troll.

At times, even I must deviate from my tactics and respond to them that
o This is my last response to you in this thread (to save everyone else).

Much to everyone's pleasure, Diesel, I say that now to you, Dustin.

> claims to have been on usenet for decades in newsgroups I've frequented 
> for decades, yet, somehow, he has no idea what my normal posting handle

Hi Dustin,

If you re-read what I wrote above, you see this consistent tactic:
o Mirror the implied intent of each post - regardless of prior history

You see, it matters not to me WHOM you post as - I don't even look:
o For the "chit-chat" Usenet model - who you are matters 
o For the "chit-chat" model - it seems what you post matters not

The reason it matters not who you are is that I care about ANSWERS!
o In the "Q&A" Usenet model - what you post is all that matters
o That's simply because we'll take solutions from anyone - even you

Hence, it matters not to me whether you post as Casio, Diesel, 
Diesel-Dum, Dustin Cook, Gremlin, Raid, Slam, et al.

You love to dox people, Diesel, just as David Brooks & Aardvark do.
You doxed David Eagle & Jenn Porter for example.
You're' no different than Steve Carroll (aka David Brooks & maybe Good Guy).

You wrote "virus families" as a vxer, disseminating them in the wild.
You even hosted a web site related to those efforts.

*Let me tell you a secret, Dustin... I don't give one whit about nyms.*
(I change mine all the time, for example, for aggregator privacy.)

In the chit-chat model, who you are may be important because 
in general, you say nothing in every post.

In the Q&A model, who you are is meaningless; what matters is 
what value you add to the overall tribal knowledge inherent in the
question.

I don't care if you posted as God herself - if you simply answer a question.

Hi Dustin,

I know you consider yourself a genius for having disseminated viruses.

The problem, Diesel, is that you see me disseminating Hello World 
programs, and you _think_ you can do better (which, maybe you can).

You _think_ by me disseminating those programs (which are, by the way, 
to help others since they're all cut and paste designs), that I'm 
claiming some kind of "genius").

The problem I have with your brain, Diesel, is that it's that of a child.

Nobody on this planet (but you) thinks disseminating a cut and paste
"Hello World" is a stroke of genius. Nobody.

Well, nobody but you.

BTW, this is for _others_ to get a gist of what Diesel is talking about:
o Report: My first "hello world" using Android Studio freeware on Windows worked just fine (in about an hour)
 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/aW64zYeBtF0>

HINT: I always try to enable others to cut-&-paste what I can do
(and I never claim to be a genius - I just claim to be at least average).

My strategy is to share & cull & combine data to solve problems, together.

All you can do is claim all facts are wrong - sans any proof.

I've never claimed that your 'facts' are wrong; I've merely suggested
that they are very few and far between and that what does emerge from
your dementia is not factual too often.  For instance, what you just
said about me is just a lie.  NO facts present.

There;s always value is showing liars to be liars.

Therefore, here is one of your lies, claiming to have personally written
TEN THOUSAND tutorials:

Negative toward you, I will readily admit.  Shut me up.  Go ahead; you
know how.  I've explicitly told you haw.  Just do it.

You fail once again, then.
You haven't alienated me, Ardline, if fact, just the opposite.  I am
closer and closer to you daily, living right there inside your head
each time you admit to yourself that I am right about you being a
liar.  You /KNOW/ that it's true.

The great value of showing liars to be liars is ongoing and at least an
honest endeavor.   That it is incomprehensible TO /YOU/ is pretty
telling, too.

I appreciate your support.  I /AM/ trying to get him to grow up and be a
