Re: New Vuescan version

As someone who knows how to use Google Groups, if I wanted to hide my
identity because it would undermine my credibility, I would set up
numerous shell accounts with attached fake/shell email addresses. A
sure sign of that would be different IDs only used for one topic or one
forum.

However, I think by looking at its posting history, Golden (Lasky?)
isn't such a character, but for some reason identifies with Don and
finds him reasonable. He has tried to make peace in the past. My main
problem with Don is that the signal to noise ratio is poor- he has some
valuable things to say (which I have learned from) but buried in
dungheaps of hyperbole and veiled insults.

I've learned much about scanning here and through practice over the
last two years, but I don't find it to be worth the trouble to come
here and try to help newbies anymore, and I haven't learned much here
of late. I'd rather work on the new weak link in my technical
knowlege- B&W inkjet printing- and I've found at least one nice,
troll-free group.

Golden Quote:
"Come on Don. I'm on your side man, but let's all just drop it! All
right?
As Joe said you won the moral victory by taking the high road so don't
spoil it all now. "
