Someone once sad "I may hate the things you say but I would give my life for your right to say it." ( Think it was Bertrand Russel but I can be wrong). This is (IMHO) the issue here as well. People can say things in many words, few words, in a high voice, vispering. I just love the long essays written by some picers but still enjoy many of the short answers from others. I even understand some of your jokes Scott. The point is that I really don't care how many times someone is posting as long as he/she (is there any..) has something to say ( long or short). Lets dicuss the pic and related technology instead of this crap. /Ake > -----Original Message----- > From: pic microcontroller discussion list > [mailto:PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Scott Dattalo > Sent: Friday, October 09, 1998 4:53 PM > To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU > Subject: Re: Top Piclisters [OT] > > > On Fri, 9 Oct 1998, Ake Hedman, eurosource wrote: > > > "Loquaciousness is inversly proportional to intelligence!" > > > > Bullshit!
