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

That is an explicit claim from you about whether or not I understand a word. You were asked to provide support for this claim, which would be in the form of me 1. Using the word incorrectly, and 2. The correct usage of the word in that instance.

That is the only way to support that claim.

Eric Stevens
I'm not reopening this argument other than to say that I did all those things at great length but you rejected anything which didn't fit your idea of what was correct.

"I gave you four written examples of the real-world use of the word 'protocol' and you ignored them."

But that's side-stepping the claim, merely pointing to supposed correct usage of the word does not in any way, shape or form, support your claim that *I* don't understand it.

Eric Stevens
For examples of 2. above and you rejected them.

Sandman
Not at all - what I am *denying* is that YOU knew I was making a mistake, told me about it, and I ignored it.

Eric Stevens
See my long post with quotes.

Sandman
Exactly my point. No one thought I mistyped or made a mistake. No one thought "wait, maybe he's mixing things up?", and certainly no one said anyting to make me aware of me maybe having them mixed up.

Eric Stevens
A number of us suspected you were mixing things up but none of us could actually know what you really intended.

Sandman
Even if you did, you never ever said anything to me to enlighten me about it. If you knew I was saying B&H when I meant something else and then didn't say that, then that just makes you an asshole, right? Why didn't you just say "Uh, I think you may mean something else than B&H, it only exists in NY, and you're in Florida, right?"

But you didn't, did you?

Eric Stevens
You were told.

Sandman
No, I knew it was Best Buy the entire time. I specifically drove there to visit Best Buy, my mistake was that when I wanted to reference Best Buy in this group, I mistakenly wrote B&H. That's my only mistake.

Eric Stevens
And you did it over and over again.

If you have had any significant interest in photography and an Internet connection you should have known for some time.

Sandman
That's a pretty stupid claim to make. I have significant interest in photography, but no interest in camera stores in the states, even if they have an online store.

Eric Stevens
That's suggests you have done little online shopping until recently.

See my recent post on this subject. You had (possibly) half a dozen warnings.

Sandman
Incorrect.

Eric Stevens
Count them.
