IO540,
I assumed from your prior postings on this forum where you demonstrated a good level of computing experience that it would be un-necessary for me to expand further because you would probably understand the reasons for my post being the way it is. So perhaps I just got your username mixed up with someone else's in my mind.
I'm a bit busy at the moment, but I will return to the forum later today and post and expanded explanation for the benefit of the public as requested.
taking the p1ss out of somebody but without any information content
As I have explained before here on Computers & Internet. I'm not out to catch anyone out, and I'm certainly not out to take the p1 out of people. It's just that I'm a busy individual, who has pretty much "seen it all before" when it comes to IT/Telecoms ... and therefore some of my replies can be, short & sweet, shall we say..... particularly when a post such as the first paragraph of yours earlier goes so much against the grain that I find it difficult to comprehend why such a view was held.
But I digress. I offer you my apologies if my post was misinterpreted.
Bye for now, but I'll be back to expand as requested.
