I've heard those stories before.

My apologies - I had meant to say it is not a /duologue/, i.e., a
dialogue between only two people.  The point is that anyone here is free
to join in any threads.  You don't get to complain that Mr. Flibble
joins in during other discussions.

I strongly disapprove of posting personal information about people.  I
have not done so, nor have I seen you doing so.  In Usenet, people are
the sum of their posts - it a poster wants people to know more about who
they are, then that poster should share the information.  Much as I
dislike you and the way you write, I think it is completely wrong for
people to post personal information about you (whether it be true or
completely fabricated - I don't know and don't care).

If that is really the case, then you are an abysmal failure.  You are
regularly seriously wrong about both C and C++, and show a total
inability to learn from anyone else - including the many language
experts in these groups.  And even if and when you are correct, you are
unable to express yourself in a way that would help anyone - a teacher
that insults his pupils is no teacher.

If you look at my posting history, you will see many times when I have
accepted being wrong, or thanked people for correcting me or giving me
new information.  I have had very little occasion to tell /you/ that I
have been wrong and you were right, simply because there have been very
few occasions when you /were/ right and I was wrong.

No, I am interested in learning.  On the rare occasions when you say
something correct and interesting, I listen.  You usually spoil it by
getting carried away with a small and incorrect detail, which is a
shame.  I am still convinced that deep down you have some useful
knowledge and experience that you could share with people - it's just a
pity that you hide it beneath such a quantity of insults, arguments,
factual errors, and other noise.

Well, that final point certainly seems to be true.
