I am so grateful for all of the following reasons:

1. I no longer have to try to pretend to be fair and balanced with shithead=
s
like Olin. I'm free to express how completely I hate him. "... If someone i=
s
too dumb to read the docs and tag a post or too lazy to care, then we're
better off without them.." LOL... We may be better off without them, but
getting them to shut up is the trick...

2. I'm grateful that don't have to read drivel like this anymore. I only
happened to randomly read this because the archive had stopped updating and
I was checking to make sure it had restarted. Other than that, I can
blissfully ignore the PICList mailing list and all the crap assholes post o=
n
it.

3. I'm grateful that I have been gloriously disabused of the na=EFve idea t=
hat
engineers or other technically brilliant people are better humans. It has
become completely clear to me that IQ and humanity are uncorrelated. There
are truly stupid people who are better matched to the ideal defined by the
word "humanity" than the most competent PIC programmers.=20

Thank you for that.

I am rather sad to see otherwise good people like Russell pounding away
trying to make it "better"; repeating the same, simple, basic and obviously
correct procedures over and over and having jerks, who have no concept of
connection to their fellow humans, object to and ignore them.=20

I remember years ago being stunned when a man who I looked up to as one of
the most brilliant PIC programmers in the world was unable to accept and us=
e
topic tag filtering. He posted exactly the same objection as was just poste=
d
here: That he wouldn't unsubscribe from the OT channels because people
sometimes posted (what he considered) PIC or EE topics with the OT tag. In
the same breath he was saying that the list should be ONLY PIC.

It never fails to amaze me that people can be so brilliant in one area and
so stupid in another.

And now back to my better place.
