I just think he's a troll that will take all and every chance to create an argument and be condescending, not to forget; spew ad hominems until he can't breathe.

The fact that both you and I are tech savvy means that we question his usage and/or defintions of certain tech related terms, which just spins him way out of control.

Eric Stevens
The problem in this case is that neither of you properly understand the meaning of 'protocol'.

Sandman
Incorrect.

Eric Stevens
The problem in YOUR case is that you cannot bring yourself to admit an error. This is a barrier to understanding.

Sandman
Eric, the problem with YOUR post, is that you merely claimed something without supporting it. I won't admit to an error I've made merely on the base of you having claimed I made an error.

I have no problem admitting to errors when I make them, as I've shown several times to you and other antagonizers here. I even do it when you or Andreas point them out without hesitation!

Well then, go back and reconsider my 'black box' example. Protocols are outside the box. Software is inside the box. Protocols are not software. Software is not a protocol: it implements a protocol.

But by merely claiming I've made an error makes no difference to me - you have to actually support your claim.

Eric Stevens
Sorry.

Sandman
Apology accepted.

Eric Stevens
It was not an apology. It was a statement of regret.

Sandman
I know, but it should have been an apology, since you came in to a thread making a claim that you failed to post any support for.

On the contrary. It's just that you have consistently misunderstood it. Perhaps I should have put more effort into it but it never occurred to me that neither you nor nospam would understand what was being said. --

Eric Stevens
