Where did I say that I can't change a battery?

Your comment suggests that you need someone else to change the batteries:-

No it doesn't.

"mistakenly" = you disagree
"... change ... AA battery ..."
"user" = You

"they"

Someone else, not me.

"mistakenly"

erroneously

"consider"

have the opinion, preceded by "they" hence "they" have the opinion, not
I.

"having to change a non-rechargeable AA battery as"

That is, someone else "the 'they' referred to previously" is the one
changing a battery


"user servicable."

A term which is used to mean "serviceable by the user" and does not
refer to the replacement of consumables such as non-rechargeable
batteries.

There are, of course, many definitions for "serviceable"...

There are of course many definitions for ****wit, and you seem to fit
all of them.

You need remedial English lessons.

Other crap snipped

You appear to be unable to quote a usenet post correctly. And the "crap"
you snipped did show up your drooling stupidity for what it is, so I can
see why you snipped it.

Exactly - that's why I said you disagreed with their opinion.
Do you have a problem with simple english comprehension now?

No, we've already determined that it's the "someone
else" who has the *opinion* stated - we hadn't
decided yet who was to be changing any battery.

Now, as we know that you think their opinion was wrong,
then you must think that the "user" can't change the battery.
Of course, most other people will be happy to
change the battery, so you must be referring to
your own (lack of) capability to change batteries...

No, but I'm obviusly dealing with someone who can't parse a sentence.

The someone else has the opinion about changing the battery.

Now, as we know that you think their opinion was wrong,
then you must think that the "user" can't change the battery.

That's stupid. At no point have indicated that either I or the "they"
that is the subject of the sentence cannot change the battery.

Of course, most other people will be happy to
change the battery, so you must be referring to
your own (lack of) capability to change batteries...

Try reading the sentence, rather than reading something into it.

The mistaken opion referred to is thinking that changing a battery (a
consumable) makes a device user serviceable.

You *disagreed* with their opinion !!

So - who do you consider should perform the
service of changing the battery, if not the user?

[Yet again.]

By the way, giving verbal abuse doesn't mean you win the
argument. In fact, it suggests that you are *losing* the argument,
as you have no further constructive comments to make.

And repeatedly stating something which shows you don't understand simple
English doesn't mean there is an argument. And I am obviously dealing
with a congenital idiot.

Or rather I'm not. Because I see no point in continuing to talk to a
drooling ****wad.

For the avoidance of doubt. At no time did I say I could not change a
battery. At no time did I say that someone else could not change a
battery.

What I did say can be summarised as 'the ability to change a battery
does not make an item "user serviceable"'

Now you can continue with your juvenile attempts at point scoring.

Steve, I note you refuse to answer the question:
"Who do you consider should perform the
service of changing the battery, if not the user?".

Is it because you've realised your mistake?

Then you lose, since you were the first to do so.

I'm not refusing to answer it, the question is a canard, since the
question of who changes the battery is entirely something that you have
invented as a reason for a mindless argument.

If you keep snipping the answers given and indeed describing any answer
as "crap" then you are obviously not interested in the answer and only
interested in mudslinging and misrepresentation.

Now **** off and play in the main road with the other morons.

Make credence recognised that on Thu, 26 Apr 2007 15:40:07 +0100,
