He is entertaining for a while but the posts get progressively
more rambling and you start skipping lines. The notion that
he's actually an Artificial Stupidity bot was very perceptive.
And someone else called him a "software bug" !! Conflict is
always good inspiration for comedy

That MC haven't given him the Size 9 from behind is no surprise.
My dealings with MC staff have been generally unsatisfactory,
and especially when it comes to technical doings. Either they don't
know what *I'm* talking about or they don't know what *they're*
talking about. Some replies I've had from them are just appalling

And I've given up asking if MPLAB could save bookmarks

The same with finding MC datasheets. Often quicker to use
Google. They've been nagged for years about the crappiness
of their search engine but it never improves

One thing being on PICList for so long has done is that it's taught
me to fend for myself. Which I can mostly do, but every now and
then a problem comes up that can't be solved by logic or research.
I think my last question for the forum was at least a couple of years
ago. The answer turned out to be undocumented buggy silicon. As
it turned out the forum wasn't able to help, despite some very good
efforts after a lot of head-scratching. Microchip themselves were
worse than hopeless, and I've never considered using their help
line again. And never will

I should be so lucky I could start a multi-national company like
Microchip, but I'd hope if I ever did it wouldn't be staffed by the
absolute ninnies I've dealt with over the years
