Bottom feeding for reefs
thing is this argument has as much significance as "how many flight
attendants can dance on the head of a pin" (modified from the original "angels" to give it relevance). You complain about ME (top posting - sorry, that's the way I like it - unless there's something significant to cut, I don't bother since my feeling is that those who care KNOW what the prior discussion rntails) anyway, getting back to the meat of the matter - the comment was more about waste of bandwidth than anything else (and by posting a response, I'm in pot-kettle mode). Since I use a "pre-view" screen, I can't help but view (not necessarily "read") the banter being "exchanged". Do I care? Not in the least. "Reef Fish" wrote in message om... "DALing" daling43[delete]-at-hotmail.com wrote in message ... give it a break guys - in reality nobody CARES which of the two of you is correct I didn't realize that you're a spokesman for EVERONE in rta now. You've been around the internet for awhile now, DALing. Haven't you learned anything or any Nettiquette yet? 1. You are not required to read anyone's posting, especially you think you know you don't care about the subject and what the discussant had to say. Just DON'T READ IT. 2. To make your one-line (plus one word) comment on an entire post, only a Clusless Newbie would cite the entire post, rather than a one-line reference to it. 3. Top Posting is one of the surest signs of a "Clueless Newbie". If nobody cares, then THOSE nobodies should be the ones to skip reading whatever we post for those who DO care (at least two of us, and any future readers who know how to use the archives to search for FACTS). YOU are the ones who should SHUT UP. DALing, it's not too late for you to learn a basic lession or two about Netiquette and not be a shining example of Reverend Bob "Bob" Crispen's characterization of a "Clueless Newbie", See, e.g., http://netsquirrel.com/roadmap96/map07.html -- Bob. "Reef Fish" wrote in message m... "Frank F. Matthews" wrote in message ... Since the other has at least shut up why bother us with your gloating. FFM Frank, if you're going to stick your nose into this, you should at least (1) learn how to use the archives to review the most recent posts on this subject and this thread. (2) Learn how to use the archives to review the ENTIRE thread. snip rest of post reproduced by DALing |

"Blake S" wrote in message ink.net...
"Reef Fish" wrote in message om... "Frank F. Matthews" wrote in message ... FM Because you are attempting to gloat over something that had long gone FM away. You are a waste. FFM RF You obviously didn't read my REPLY explaining that it was my FIRST RF response to what Vitaly Shmatikov posted and posted more -- which had RF NOT gone away. And that I wasn't gloating at all -- just using RF data to debunk VItaly's falsehood, including his accusation that RF I was "lying", for the record. RF You attempt to obfuscate by snipping all the substance of my reply RF to YOUR (Frank F. Matthews) gratuitous post is DISPICABLE. RF THen you used the lines below in my reply to Blake S's post (completely RF OUT OF CONTEXT) to obfuscate some more. No. Why should I? What's YOUR problem, or your beef, Blake? snip RF The above was my reply to Clueless Newbie Blake S's gratuitous RF comment and top posted insult, with my reply to Frank Mathews attached : BS OK Bob, you are right. And you are the most important frequent BS flyer ever, with the extra shiny super-important FF card. Now BS will you shut up? RF Shut up and go away, Frank F. Matthew. RF RF Your failure to grasp facts and your IRRESPONSIBLE posting style has RF already been established! There is no need for an encore. Here you go, Bob. I'm bottom posting with your full text included. That's better. With multiple "" involving three what three poster said at different times, you could have done a bit better (for CLARITY), by stripping the nonessential and clearly identify who said what to whom by replacing the "" with the initials of the poster, as I did to the text you included. I'm gonna take an educated guess here and say that maybe Frank, DALing, and I probably also have extra shiny super-important FF cards with various airlines. You probably do. So does Shmatikov. But being the holder of shinny cards is ENTIRELY IRRELEVANT to the accuracy and content of what you post; and it certainly is irrelevant to what you are (or are not) as a RESPONSIBLE poster, with some knowledge of NETIQUETTE which Frank, DALing, and you all showed that you lacked, perhaps not in other posts about other subjects which I DON'T read, but clearly in this thread in which all three of you posted. Your failure to READ the substance of the thread, failure to note the history of the argument, and failure to note that was my SINGLE REPLY to multiple posts by Vitaly Shmatikov in an ONGOING argument -- yet jumped in with your gratuitous remarks based on the ABSENCE of facts -- THAT's your problem, and the ONLY complain about all three of you. If you were at least familiar with the background, and were merely expressing your opinion about the SUBSTANCE of the controversy, then it would be an entirely matter, whether we agree or not. Then I would simply reply or rebut with REASON (as I did Shmatikov) on the substance of what he posted until he started calling me a "newbie" on CO, even after I had already posted that I was a OnePass member at least 10 years longer than the date he gave for himself; and that I was CO Platinum every year since the present program started while he was only Gold a couple of years ago and was knocking CO in favor of AA. THAT's the only relevant places where my "shiny" cards were mentioned, as a statement to backup the credibility of my KNOWLEDGE about the Elite Program of the airline CO. So, now that it has been established that you and your wife are the only super important Continental FF's in the entire state of Hawaii, You have established ABSOLUTELY NOTHING -- another example of an IRRESPONSIBLE poster with your irresponsible, erroneous statement of supposedly facts. Your two lines are COMPLETELY erroneous! maybe you can start contributing in other ways. I don't participate in many threads. I contribute in ALL the threads in which I do participate -- with FACTS and reasoned opinions. I am not your typical internet junkie who feel compelled to participate in every thread whether they know anything about it or not -- and this one is a GOOD EXAMPLE of what Frank Matthews, DALING, and Blake S should have stayed away and kept your mouths SHUT! The FACT that I posted nothing in rec.travel.air between Aug 7 and September 12 attest to the FACT that I post very selectively, and ONLY in selective threads in which I am interested, OR have SOMETHING to contribute, OR both. If as much as 25% of the posters in newsgroups would do that, the USENET newsgroups would be an infinitely better and more informative forum for all! But that's too much to hope for. So, I live with the reality that there are always morons, imbecils, and idiots to contribute NOISE. I simply ignore them. But when they do it in the threads in which *I* post, and make idiotic remarks about what *I* posted, they usually would get a follow-up by me, to put them in their place! Eventually, the OLDER and WISER morons learn to leave my posts alone unless they have something of substance to say. But having been in newsgroups for well over a decade, I can ALWAYS count on Clueless Newbies and Old Morons, the former especially around this time of the year, when some kids have found their new toy in web-tv or someone else's account. You never answered my question about your posting ISP and email address being that of r_a_rippy. Was that YOU? If so, why did you change it to Blake S in August 2003? Was I mistaken in calling your a Clueless Newbie as opposed to an Old Moron? :-) .. Try adding to a thread that doesn't involve Continental or your standing with them. See my paragraph above. When I first encountered Vitaly Shmatikov's INACCURATE info and FANTASY about CO and AA, I was holding shiny (Platinum) cards on BOTH, and argued with Shmatikov about the superiority of the CO program over that of AA, based on my OWN experience and FACTS (available on webpages and in private brochures and newsletters about those programs) So what happened? Shmatikov changed his tune about AA, became a CO Platinum Elite, and LIED about his past experience (which I caught and are in the archives!), start posting ad hominem attacks on me rather than simply reason and argue on facts, and culminated in publicly saying that I was "lying" which I replied on the very post that you, Frank Matthews, and DSLING stuck your collective noses, with little or no clue! That would be most appreciated. But you MISSED all of my contributions. And you FAILED to use the archives to try to ascertain some facts before posting! Just print a copy of this post and keep it as a reminder that the next time you see a post from "Reef Fish", in ANY newsgroup, it'll of the same in CREDIBILITY, substance, and verified FACTS, completely IN CONTEXT! Now I can simply refer to THIS post, which will remain in the groups.google archives for YEARS to come, for the next Clueless Newbie like yourself who comes along with the same blunders you showed. Enjoy this and other newsgroups around. But if you feel the urge to participate (as in posting in it as follow- up to posts by others), remamber to DO IT RESPONSIBLY -- Bob. |

You complain about ME (top posting - sorry, that's the way I like it - That was the THIRD item I mentioned. Not a complain per se, but a charactreization: RF 3. Top Posting is one of the surest signs of a "Clueless Newbie". For YOU, "Top Posting" takes on a second meaning -- posting from the TOp of your Head without having run it through your head first! :-) unless there's something significant to cut, I don't bother since my feeling is that those who care KNOW what the prior discussion rntails) How interesting! One of my complains about all THREE of you was that you DIDN'T KNOW what went on in the discussion IMMEDIATELY before your posts, and mine! anyway, getting back to the meat of the matter - the comment was more about waste of bandwidth than anything else (and by posting a response, I'm in pot-kettle mode). You are correct about YOUR waste of bandwidth, and causing me to waste bandwidth to correct your gratuitous remarks. As for the pot-kettle mode, you are the ONLY pot and kettle in this case (the saying "Pot calls Kettle black"). A black, color-blind pot, with a very bad eyesight, had mistaken something which is neither a kettle nor black to be a black kettle. :-) Need I draw a diagram to explain it to you, DALing? :-)) Go back and RE-READ my original reply to you, DALing. -- Bob. |

I won't say get a life since you have no chance. FFM Frank, You post too much and too hastily, think too little, and don't understand what you supposedly have read BEFORE you post a follow-up. YOu STILL don't get it, do you? Vitaly Shmatikov HAD already replied (on August 7) to my post of August 7, accusing me of "lying' among other things. He also had replied to several other posts (by others) in the same thread after August 7, as I had already said in my previous posts to you and others. It was *I* who hadn't replied to Vitaly's post of August 7 until September 12. *************************** Before September 12, I had already told Vitaly repeatedly the FACTS. He kept twisting them and kept Mouth Dancing. I saw no point in keeping it up UNTIL my flight of September 11, which just HAPPENED to have the facts to debunk Vitaly's post of August 7, directly contradicting what he said on August 7 -- which I HAD NOT replied until then. *************************** Yes, Frank F. Matthews, you ARE indeed the most IRRESPONSIBLE poster (next to Vitaly Shmatikov) in rec.travel.air, and your present post has only given proof to HOW IRRESPONSIBLE you are in the statements in your post. Frank F. Matthews, you are DESPICABLE, and you've proven once again that you deserved to be so called. Reef Fish wrote: "Reef Fish" wrote in message .com... "Frank F.
