I was expecting a more reasonable reply, not further slime slinging. I do not have the time to enter into a point by point debate, but I'll reply with this.

As I said, I found your original 2-line message by accident. I don't care if nobody responded to it previously. I found your short message to be insulting, mean and certainly not truthful. Why in the world you would post a drive-by bomb-throwing message like that is beyond me, unless as I mentioned, you are simply pissed off and wish to impun me and/or harm me in the minds of whomever might happen by this part of the net.

Your... "Gee, SO SENSITIVE!!! Gooo Figure"

A convenient crap remark! That is precisely the condesending type of remarks made by the typical self-important types when they have said something stupid and get challenged on it. Try to flip the thing over onto the person who challenged their stupid remarks instead of apologising or explaining their reasons for making such remarks. Those two short lines you posted a year ago says volumes more about you than anything I said in my reply.

Franky Steven, I know very little about you, but I think your previous reply stinks and shows an elistist type attitude that some intelligent folks like to show toward or about those they think are less mentally endowed or toward those whom express some belief system different than their own.

If it makes you feel comfortable thinking of me as some southern, stupid, bible-thumin', white trash person, help yourself. Humor yourself and feel superior. Put all your faith and trust in your own intelligence if you wish. I choose to acknowledge there is a spiritual element to mankind. There is precioius little bible thumping of any kind on my site. You try to pigeon-hole me into your own belief system while you know nothing of what I really believe. The truth is that you would probably be shocked at the variety and diversity of my belief system and world view.

Regardless, the bottom line is that I dont give a hoot about how smart you may be or think you are. You may have an IQ point or two on me, I doubt it, but don't really care. Even if, it matters much more how one uses their intelligence than the quantity of it. In the paraphrased words of the sentinel in one of the Indy movies... you used yours poorly.

As I said previously, I have never purchased any manuals from you regardless of your memory. It's possible I may have inquired about something when you bought a couple things, but that's as far as it went. Those 33 pages of RT-909 tech bulletins where not part of the manual and were not included in it's description. I vaguely remember having some interaction about them with you. But, if after all these years, I never got back to you about them, ya know, you COULD HAVE written back and reminded me instead of just hanging out there being pissed off.

At that time, I was receiving over a hundred emails per day asking for stuff when I didn't even know what I had. All I knew was that I had acquired way more than I could possibly catalog without thousands of hours of effort. I was often working 30-40 hours non-stop before collapsing for a few hours sleep. I tried and tried to keep up and be honorable with as many as I could. But there were THOUSANDS of emails that I simply never could get to. In fact, there are still about 5000 emails from those days that are still archived for an eventual reply/apology.

All you can do is all you can do. I did all I could do and it wasn't enough. And apparently not getting a pdf of some tech bulletins to you put me on your shit list. Way to go. What a kind, and wonderfully compassionate human being your are.
