    [Funny] Ah, nostalga

    While I was doing laundry recently, I decided to do some housecleaning on my subscriptions here. You know, get rid of the old ones that I probably didn't participate in properly when I first joined Copytechnet, or ones that didn't have any useful technical information from any topic other than "Rants and Raves".
    Anyway, I came across this:

    and found it just as epic as when I first encountered it.

    I must have missed that one. Thank you for the link. I enjoyed looking through it. I was almost tempted to go to his profile and look at some of his posts, almost.

      I must confess that I'm not usually quite that candid, but I just couldn't resist. He's managed to totally ignore the subtle, and the not so subtle comments. =^..^=
      If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
      1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
      2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
      3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
      4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
      5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

          Yep, an arrogant, ignorant, self-righteous asshole, that was him.

              I'm not sure. He may have showed up again, but I put him on my ignore list right after this.
              Actually, I think he did show up once more as that is how I discovered the ignore list blocks the text in the body of a post rather blocking the post entirely.

                  Thanks for bringing up that thread. I needed a good laugh this morning. You bunch of useless techs...

                  EDITED to add:

                  So I'm sitting here waiting for a part. I could be doing tons of paperwork, which absolutely needs to be done, but I'm reading through this guy's posts instead.

                  I can absolutely not stop laughing at this one:

                    Oh yeah, THAT guy. I had never seen one of his posts until he asked to be deleted, and then I started reading his posts. My first thought was this guy had to be messing with us, he could not be at all serious about the questions he was asking--couldn't be!! If he was indeed serious he went out of business, there would be no way he could make it in business.

                      He probably went under, then he probably ran for congress. Lol

                          I checked his profile. His last post was in April 2013. That's almost a year and a half after the Can I Delete thread.

                          I also did a search for aab1 and found a few posts started by him and another one Iowatech started about him:http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/ra...highlight=aab1

                            I can't believe it's been a year and a half - I wonder if he ever found that endless supply of ink?
