However I am willing to give him another chance... if
other posters vouch that he is worthy ;-)

I challenge anyone to look at my recent posting history
and find anything even slightly objectionable.

I strongly suspect that Jim Thompson is being unfair.
Long ago I wrote something that he didn't like and he
objected. I considered his objection, apologized, and
never did it again. Hehas brought it up on occasion,
and each time I have asked him what else I need do to
satisfy him. I appears that, once you get on Jim
Thompson's *** list, you can never get off.


I just reviewed the last 2000 post to this newsgroup.
Nine were by me, 66 were by by Jim Thompson.


I posted about:

A direct reply to Jim Thompson giving him a method of
filtering out troll feeder posts while allowing technical
posts from the same posters -- a solution that nobody else
in the thread had mentioned.

Comments on open source electronic CAD systems such as
Kicad or gEDA with what I consider to be some very useful URLs

A comment on whether "Never ascribe to malice that which
is adequately >explained by stupidity" applies to Microsoft

A solution to a poster's problem of not being able to access
NNTP servers from a coprorate network with only port 80 open.

A solution to the same poster's problem of the IT department
insisting that only they are allowed to install and manage
JTAG pods.

A couple of posts to this thread.



During the same period, Jim Thompson posted many
high-quality technical posts, but he also posted:

A comment about Israel nukes

Several classic trollfeeding flames directed at the
"Over Unity Motor" poster.

An Obama vs. Clinton post.

A "me too" followup flame in a George Bush thread.

A bunch more trollfeeding, this time directed at
"UltimatePatriot."

A post criticizing John Larkin for trollfeeding
directed at "UltimatePatriot."

Responses to some sort of forgery that I didn't see
because Giganews didn't allow it in.

Nine identical posts in a row telling "UltimatePatriot"
that his post had been filtered out.



You're now in my whitelist ;-)
