Should pointed objects really be available
to some of the recent threads?
I see the recent rounds as just a repeat
of the posts little "a" makes on a roughly
annual cycle. He might have some
technical expertise with computers,
but the audio portion is filled with a
lack of rhetoric. I haven't seen any posts
praising his excellent audio work, paid
or volunteer, and when he gets called on
what he posts it's persecution or libel.
Yes, I think some of the posting is over
the top, like those he-man punching or
drinking contests that are like freeway
accidents the passerby's gauck at.
Painful, but you still watch.

Just goes to show that you don't know what rhetoric is. In fact my audio
posts are filled with rhetoric. You might check a dictionary and find out
what the word rhetoric means.

Why would there be any?

The only people who have first hand knowledge about my audio work generally
don't post on Usenet.

Believe it or not, there is life outside of Usenet.

1: the art of speaking or writing effectively:
a: the study of principles and rules of composition
formulated by critics of ancient times.
b: the study of writing or speaking as a means
of communication or persuasion.
2 a: skill in the effective use of speech
b: a type or mode of language or speech;
also : insincere or grandiloquent language.

Next time I will specify lacking in 1 a,b and full of
2 b as to be more accurate in my point, not that
it wasn't made by your response.
Next time I will specify

Everybody makes a few mistakes, and so do I.

Again, everybody could be more effective, but I do pretty good.

I'll let that one be.

My response lacked effectiveness?

I got you to prove my point, how effective do I need to be? ;-)

Judging by the description of his church I'm not surprised.

Its construction sounds nearly identical to the very worst hall I had
(sadly all too often) to work in.

There are literally only 2 halls I can recall with great pleasure
working in and sadly one is being demolished to make way for more
housing.
