They did mention a place to go but I didn't save the email. AIOE will
be on my places to try list.

AIOE is a troll haven. You will fit right in there, Billy.

Newsgroups are not a necessity for me, just a diversion. I used to use
the binaries to get pictures of old steam locomotives, since I have
been a fan ever since I saw one spin the wheels pulling out of the
station when I was five years old. Diesels bore me.

Right.

Is this why you think you are an "engineer"? LOL!




Why do you care what he thinks he is, and why do you comment on it?

Because I want to.

The same reason that you comment on things.

Right?



I didn't require an answer, I thought you might want to answer it for yourself. After all, it is hardly a noble aspiration to aim for..... to troll some guys posts.
