So to Jim Menning, and you Mr Brodbeck, if all that makes me "not a good
guy", and one of "the jerks", then sobeit. All I did, as I always do, is
try to help the guy. All I wanted was a civil response. It was only after
the less than polite ( in my opinion ) responses that I received from the
OP, that I got annoyed.

But hey-ho. Bad day now over. Tomorrow's another day ...

I gave you the opportunity to prove you were a good guy, and not one of
the jerks.

You made an unnecessary reference to "the Americans" in your response
here. A more proper statement would have been that other
"well-intentioned responders" were confused. Rather than drag
nationalities into the equation, how about just clearing up the confusion
that you claim exists? Providing the pictures to a common location could
have enlightened all.

But the real bottom line here is: Did you follow up to make the pictures
available?

Again, here's the challenge: Prove to us you are the "good guy" as you
initially appeared to be.

Thank you.


Please don't get going on the race issue. I see enough of that rubbish in
this country already.

"Race issue"? First, it was you the mentioned the nationality issue, now you bring
in theterm "race issue"? Where is all this coming from. What race issue?


Someone once made the observation that the UK and America are two countries
divided by a common language, and this would seem to be proving that. I
visit America frequently, and have done for many many years, so I am able to
speak and understand your variety of the language fluently, which is why I
understood that what this UK based poster was asking, was being
misunderstood, by more than one person from your side of the water.

The reference was not unnecessary to the explanation, and I can't understand
how you could possibly take offence at your countrymen being referred to by
the nationality that they are. So let's get that point totally straight,
right off. I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against Americans of any colour, creed,
political persuasion or whatever. I have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING against the way
that you speak the language. By making the reference in my previous posting,
I intended ABSOLUTELY NOTHING detrimental, to you, or any of your
countrymen. Are we clear on that one now ?

Again, it was only a couple of posters that were trying to help. Their confusion was
as helpful individuals, not as Americans. I see far too many people saying
"Americans this, Americans that" as though we are all one homogenous group. We are
like any other group, one of individuals, not all like-minded.


Here are the pictures. They are about 100k each now, and I make no apology for
that. If that is still too much to force down your piece of wet string in less than
an hour, that's not my problem.

Again a hostile tone from you. I have high-speed cable internet, not a "piece of wet
string". I think your attuitude here has not mellowed at all. You still proudly
display a chip on your shoulder.


Hope you all find it worth it. If any of this makes me not, "one of the good guys",
then I hesitate to think what you must make of some of the ones that we get on here
sometimes, who really aren't, and make a point of being genuinely offensive ...


Funny thing here. I interpreted the OP's question correctly as looking for a cord
wrapping procedure, not a "knot" as referred to in the subject line, and I had looked
for instructions for a similar kind of cord binding, although done customarily with
the plug at the far end from the equipment. I have never seen this done with the
knot at the equipment end, and so I have now been educated. And isn't thast what
this group is for? To share knowledge? It's a shame it's often times so difficult
to accomplish this.

Finally, thank you for posting the pictures to explain the mystery.
