You know, I think this idiot posted and answered his own question
under two alias's. Probably trying to build credibility. That was not
even half an answer to the question.

I read the page on this numbnut. Where is this idiot from anyway?

Wouldn't be the first time.

Google PC Datasheet. His web site is hilarious. "Tricks and Tips" have
been "coming soon" for about 5 years and one listed "qualification" is
"large selection of reference books".

Hi Keith,

Yeah, the idiots website is a laugh. Its like some high school project
on 'What should your business look like'. I love the fact that the
'reference' named Geordie has no company or last name, or details of
any work done. This is just a fool with an ego bigger than its
abilities.

PA - is that Pennsylvania (hope I spelled it correctly)? Thats where
the company seems to be registered / operates from. I wonder what
types of rules and regulations they have about spamming? It (the
idiot) seems to want public exposure - perhaps it should have it!

Cheers

TTBOMK, I was the first CDMA regular to clash with Steve. I criticized him
harshly.
Did this change Steve? No!
Did this diminish me? I believe that it did.

Perhaps, CDMA could have benefitted if I had been able to find a gentle way
to encourage and help Steve. I�m pretty sure I�d feel better about the
interchanges now if I had made a strong effort to do that.

I hear what you are saying Lyle, and the sentiment is a good one. I am
all for people wanting to better themselves, and like you (although
not to nearly the same extent due to my limited experience) I try and
offer help through here to others.

I dont see 'Steve' doing this however. Maybe I am wrong, but I see
'phishing' taking place. Its sort of a 'Have a taste, I'm so
great....' rubbish followed with a 'oh, well, what do you know, I
guess I can answer that and help you out for "reasonable rates"'. To
me, thats just not in the spirit of helping others and sharing
knowledge. Perhaps this is why others are upset with him as well.

I dont mind if someone wants to genuinely contribute or learn, I am
happy to share what I have, and I benefit from the experience of
others in this group. I have learned much from here and as a result
the quality of my work has greatly improved. I for one am always
grateful for the advice of experienced others such as yourself, and
the other MVP's here, and of course SALAD!

This is not the case with the behaviour 'Steve' is demonstrating -
what he does masquerades as this, but it is by no means selfless and
seems motivated either to be cruel to the people asking questions or a
deceptive and smart-arsed form solicitation. Maybe I am wrong here,
but I call it how I see it.

Perhaps you are right, perhaps a gentler approach would be a better
way to go. I cannot however imagine that the result would be any
different than what you have already experienced because there is a
distinct lack of respect for anyone or anything except 'Steve's' own
private motivations.

Still, to play the victim here would be narcissistic. I for one will
simply watch the events unfold and enjoy the show. Perhaps I will even
take on the persona of one of those wonderful hecklers from 'The
Muppet Show' :-)

Cheers
