As it is in September I'll be taken back to 5Gb free which is more than enough for my uses.

Nobody
Your uses as the retired person named "Lloyd Parsons?" Didn't you drop the "Parsons" from your name because people would realize the ten or fifteen years you've been posting would make you 75 or 80 years old?

LOL

Lloyd
Are you terminally stupid or what?

Nobody
Obviously I'm not as stupid as taking you at your word would require.

Lloyd
I'm nearly 70, what IS your fucking point?

Nobody
You'd have to be older than that, Lloyd Parsons.

Care to explain why you changed your posting name after using it for 10 or 15 years? Or why somebody with a happy retirement like you describe having would waste it shilling for Apple on Usenet?

Lloyd
Wasn't aware that I had changed my posting name over the years.

Nobody (Edwin)
You weren't aware the "Parsons" dropped off your posting name? Did it fall off while you weren't looking?

Nope, probably was a new/changed signup somewhere along the way. I never noticed, never cared either.

Lloyd
I'm sorry that it upsets you, but you'll just have to suffer! :)

Nobody (Edwin)
What did I write to indicate I'm upset?

Why else would you bring it up as if it had some importance.

Lloyd
As to a happy retirement, yep I'm pretty happy in retirement. Posting in usenet is something I enjoy doing for a bit most days.

Nobody (Edwin)
I found postings by "Lloyd Parsons" going back to 1995. That's eighteen years worth of posts. If you retired at 62, you're 80 now!

LOL

And what makes you think that I retired in 1995? Yeah, I posted then, maybe even before then, but didn't retire until 2005. Well, actually I retired from the Navy in 1983.

Your understanding and math are really fucked. Were you born this stupid, or is it an acquired skill?

Lloyd
At other times I'm on the golf course, or playing the organ, or watching TV, reading a book, reading email, surfing the web. All at times that are most convenient for me, and I can do as much or as little of all of that totally on my timeclock!

Nobody (Edwin)
That's your cover story.

Cover for what?

Lloyd
Life is good!

Nobody (Edwin)
For Apple shills? How much are they paying you?

Nothing.

How much is someone paying you to show us just how stupid you are?
