Hi Andrew,

I wish I could word this in a less antagonistic way, but here goes... Your
post implies that maybe you're NOT here to share information with anybody
here. That, combined with your personal retorts begs the question: Just
why do you come here at all?

Why? Do you think I am that weak that I cannot take antagonism? Do you
think I'd be hurt by the opinions of a stranger? If so then you think
way too highly of yourself.

Did I say that? Again, check your premises! I said "with your silly
ass". Are you "your"? I think not! I was speaking to Han. 
 
That said, let me be clear. I'm not here to be compelled to share any
information with anybody, and yet I reserve the right to share any
information with anybody. It's just that it's not my aim an purpose
here any longer to share knowledge with others though occasionally I
will at dates and times of my own choosing.

In a word: Entertainment. I used to come to get information.
Yes that's right that selfish thing of getting. I possess it as do you.
Difference is I admit it whereas I suspect you attempt to hide it in a
vain attempt to appear virtuous. I gave a lot, a while ago, but a lot.
For my troubles I was crapped on. So I quit, in the same essence as Atlas
Shrugged freely asking "Who is John Galt?" at the time.
Coincidently I am currently re-reading Atlas Shrugged (or
rather listening to it on Audible). 
 
Since I no longer use Quicken I cannot claim I'm really coming here for
information - at least not information I will use directly anyway. 
 
There's also the aspect of antagonizing idiots which I will let fall
into the "entertainment" bucket. This is not unlike a cat playing with
a ball of yarn...

If you're the kitten playing with the yarn, then I'll laugh at you. If
you're the ball of yarn, then I pity you. In any case, it would have
been easier if there wasn't as much html crap in your post. If you want
more laughs, then cut out the html, please.

Btw, the respect I did have for you and your knowledge has worn off, and
turned to pity.

To annoy the s*it out of us. Its not just this group. He is also very
annoying over in the GnuCash user group.

Just killfile him like many people have if you plan on being a regular in
this group.

I'm pretty sure he comes here to find friends
whenever Mommy gives him fifteen minutes of
computer time for being a good boy and taking
out the garbage.
