Hello The Millionaire!

On 30 Mar 2022, The Millionaire said the following...

Sorry for all the posts that I have created.

No need to apologize!

Please keep on posting and people will chime in from time to time (me included, although I haven't had much time for just about anything here lately)!

P.S. I can tell from some of the threads in which I have been involved that you are extremely knowledgeable in certain areas -- which I personally appreciate and value a lot! The different areas of knowledge among the members of this network is a great asset in many ways. It's just a matter of discovering the hidden gems... D.S.

Best regards

Hey, just to clarify something...

It seems that it's perfectly OK for *YOU* to tell 'TM' what he should
and shouldn't be posting, but *NOT* OK for others to do so.

Is that about right?

You...*do* know how sarcasm works, right? (o_O)

This was pure satire, and more poking of the bear. I wasn't actually telling TM that I was annoyed, or that he should stop posting apologies. Were you born without a functional sense of humour? Because that would explain a lot...

And yet...I can get wry smile and a chuckle out of you sometimes, so it can't be *completely* non-functional...probably just under-used...

Really, though, I think Spectre put it right: maybe bring the

And this wasn't me telling TM what to (or not to) post, either. At most, it's a suggestion, but really it was just a comment on another's suggestion. Wildly different than some of the posts made by those we are forced to defend TM against.

You don't know TM very well, which is understandable since you're new to
these parts... Do you think *HE* will read your message as sarcasm or
satire? I guarantee you he won't. You *WERE* actually telling him to
stop posting apologies, right there above, and that is how he will
process it. You also admit right there to "poking the bear", which is
in direct contradiction to some recent posts of yours asking everyone to
"let this go". You can't deny or backpeddle out of what you've said.

And yet...I can get wry smile and a chuckle out of you sometimes,
so it can't be *completely* non-functional...probably just
under-used...

I have an excellent sense of humor. None of what you've said falls into
that category.

Really, though, I think Spectre put it right: maybe bring the

More word-smithing to try and deflect from your behavior, which is
nothing but two-faced and hypocritical. It's very obvious to anyone
reading this. If any of your little buddies had any balls, they'd chime
in and agree with me. Oh, and I love your claim of "we are forced to
defend TM against..." Hahahaha, what a joke.

You're free to assume that. I prefer it when people underestimate me.

Do you think *HE* will read your message as sarcasm or satire? I Ga> guarantee you he won't.

I have actually interacted directly with The Millionaire more than once. I feel like he would understand the rather obvious humour. I was quite correct when I assumed you'd get all upset about it, after all. (o_O)

You *WERE* actually telling him to stop posting apologies, right there above, and that is how he will process it.

No, I wasn't. I was making a sarcastic satire of some other people's comments, and it was, again, pretty obvious.

You also admit right there to "poking the bear", which is
in direct contradiction to some recent posts of yours asking everyone to "let this go". You can't deny or backpeddle out of what you've said.

Not asking everyone, just you. You're the only one who hasn't. I don't see Exodus raising a big stink right now...

I haven't denied anything. My pedals only move me forward, because I don't peddle any bull feces. (o_-)

Seriously, man. This can't be good for your general health. Smoke a j, and let it go...

Good Day everyone,

Sorry I have been a bit scarce lately. I'm pretty sure I have COVID. Been sick for like a week now. I force myself to work but other than that really taking it easy otherwise. As soon as I'm feeling better I will have a better presence again.

Howdy,

Sorry about the spam from my system. He logged in via telnet to spam that crap.

I've been curios to know how this is done (I've seen it often).

Was wondering if it was a bot/web post kinda thing, but to do it via a telnet login seems a lot of effort for that topic.

Back in the modem days the call back verifier kept all this at bay. I don't currently have any kind of verification process since I haven't needed one.

Maybe I'll have to start manually verifying callers so this doesn't happen.

I am still checking to see what he might have posted from CCO yesterday.

OK looks like the only message he was able to post (at least in any areas I read here) was the new user msg to sysop. The twitlist appears to have done its jobs.

It is mostly synchro systems but not only. I suspect that is because
synchro and mystic are most popular more than anything. About the same
time he hit apam, he also got some out from a non-intel system that is
not running either of the above.

At first I thought maybe he had a script that worked with synchro prompts
but no longer think that.

Now that you mention it, I do remember interacting with him/her/it after
the first time they posted, and they did respond. The response was odd
but it was a response.

Speaking of odd responses, someone did have an AI bot running on Dovenet
for a while that would attempt to answer questions about Synchronet, and sometimes it responded rather oddly. You could also converse with it, so
there is that. ;)
