What, if anything, do you find satisfying? Aside from pretending that
you are more intelligent than everyone else, which we all know about
already.

I don't pretend to be more intelligent than everyone else - that is
merely your reaction to the fact that I'm better informed than you and
Jim Thompson, which isn't anything to be proud of - and your
resentment of this undeniable fact is distinctly petty-minded.

I'd find it a lot more satisfying to be producing good electronic
design, but that doesn't seem to be an option in my present situation.
Give me some design work, and I won't have the time to expose the
daftness of your sillier opinions.

"GIVE me some design work"... ??

If you were so wonderful why are customers not flocking to your
service?

Because they have to know that the service is available, need that
particular service, and believe that it is good before they start
flocking. I spent eleven years in Cambridge U.K. without managing to
build up much of a customer base, and moving to the Netherlands and
starting over didn't help.

Perhaps because you're a blow-hard ne'er-do-well ?:-)

That's our Jim - as reliably out of touch with reality as ever.
