Yeah, about the best you can come up with without yer Artificial Brain.

Ok, I get how you think denying you are a sick liar make you think 
that's made is so but you are wrong. Enough people here and on every 
other forum your shit over knows what you are like. AKA, a sick fuck.

Brilliant, a thread that has as many people saying that an accumulator 
is needed (and why) as those who say they have 'managed' without ... and 
with no mention of what type of pumps are being used in each instance.

So just as last time, here are the reasons why accumulators ARE fitted:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkPI-uFlrFA

Now, you might not be able to see that for all the tabs (you don't know 
how to close) for the forums you are banned from (for being an annoying 
little prick and a complete waste of bandwidth, even in these high 
bandwidth days!).

And oh look, specifically regarding narrowboats:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pump+accumilator+narrowboat

So, even when you have supposed to have lived on one, you know fuck all 
about them (probably an alcohol fed hallucination that's now turned real 
to you, like with the crusade you have been sent on that you are 
*COMPLETELY* unsuitable and unequipped for.

Is there *ANYONE* here who hasn't questioned that and your 'detective' 
skills?

Get help.

I tried to *HELP* you based on my personal experience and the comments
I'd picked up over more than thirty years of narrowboating.
You simply failed to listen.

Bwhahaha. Seem just because you say something doesn't mean it cxounters 
the actual truth, further demonstrating how sick you are to assume 
otherwise.

That's what you are trying to determine with your 'detective' skills and 
have so far failed miserably. The efforts to do so have you flagged as 
stupid troll to be ignore everywhere. Well done you, good to see just 
how much support your fantastic crusade is getting.>

And failed because you simply don't have the skillset.

And you do have the arrogance and FALSE sense of entitlement.

No one has any obligation to listen to you and most don't by banning 
your BS.

Ah yes, you 'Bulgarian buddy' and how many others, compared with all

T i m,

Your personal attacks add nothing to the technical discussion at hand.
If you want to debate EtreCheck’s security and trustworthiness, please 
stick to facts and evidence rather than insults and ad hominem.

My original point remains:

Is there an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current EtreCheck build?

If you have such evidence, please share it. If not, then endless insults 
don’t contribute to the conversation.

Your "original point" is pointless.

Is there an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current build of ANY
software you use daily?  Why are you SO OBSESSED with EtreCheck?

What about ClamXAV?  Shouldn't you be yapping about that one too? 

What about Thunderbird?   MacOS?   Safari? 

And what if there WAS an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current build
of EtreCheck?  Would you believe it?  Or would you assume that whoever did the
"analysis" was also "in on the scam"?

Tim isn't the person to be asking for anything to do with code. FFS, Apd had 
to help him with what I called crayon level stuff. Tim didn't get the 
comment; so FTR explained it in a very amusing manner and agreed with my 
synopsis of the difficulty level in what Tim was asking help with. Tim is a 
near useless fuckhead who continues to try and troll Mike E with 'you should 
be a vegan like me, save the planet like I do". Just ignore the fact Tim has 
been welding off and on for 50 years now; that was great for the environment, 
no question. You can read sarcasm right David? I'd hate for snit to 'quote 
me' and not realize I was being very sarcastic as I wrote that. Snit gets 
easily confused enough as it is with what I write.

And! More recently (lol), Tim was pleased to tell me that the majority of 
your cars have switched over from diesel and petrol to electric! Another win 
for the environment; said nobody with a fucking clue. You are quite a 
hypocrite yourself, David.. But, after learning those things about Tim, It's 
much more difficult to read his 'save the planet' posts without laughing. 
FFS, the pollution that dude created with welding alone should give him the 
title of super fucking hypocrite. And I'm not even factoring in the power 
supply to run his welder(s); I seriously doubt all of the power sources he 
made use of was considered a green source of energy. And that's just one 
hobby or skill he's got that I'm aware of that is by no means planet 
friendly.

You are a fuckup. 100% a fuckup. The three of you together make for a merry 
crew of fuckups and people users. Even if the person(s) being used are okay 
with it, it doesn't detract in the slightest what you're doing. *using* them.

Chatgpt assisted post? Why do you work so hard to emulate Snit, David?
 
> Is there an independent, up-to-date analysis of the current EtreCheck

Are you pretending that you and I didn't recently discuss this? The build I 
disected for the 2nd time was current at the time I made that post, and, it 
wasn't very long ago.

> If you have such evidence, please share it.

Stop jerking people around, David. I've disected that program two times now. 
I won't do it for a 3rd time. And, as a result of you playing stupid with 
chatgpt responses; I won't bother to disect other software you develop a 
hinky about; because, I'm obviously wasting my time doing so. How do I know 
this? Your reply here tells me. It's in one ear and right out the other. 
It's so bad, you don't recall having already been told it's clean (again). 

Did you also forget that you tried to change the subject after my analysis 
into 'how do you know once it's installed that it doesn't download malware 
onto your machine?' - Remember now? I went further and asked why you didn't 
apply this same 'standard' to other companies who's products also update via 
the internet. Do you remember your answer to that question? I do. You 
admitted it was because the author wouldn't interact with you directly. I 
can't blame them for making that decision. 

I went the opposite route with you, and, that wasn't a good idea on my part. 
I should have treated you just as he has the moment you went outside the 
lines of BugHunter support. but, I humoured you instead. Again, a bad 
decision in hindsight on my part. Had I told you to get fucked early on, or 
just ignored you, you probably wouldn't have continued with your nonsense 
towards me, and perhaps (although very unlikely) wouldn't have felt it 
necessary to try and dox me all over usenet to get my attention. 

For future reference David, that route won't ever get you the help you were 
demanding. And you had no right to be demanding anything of me, I didn't owe 
you anything. I answered your questions and was as honest as one could 
possibly be with your questions. You amply showed how much you respected my 
honesty too, David. You still remind me that it was a mistake not telling 
you to fuck off early on.
