Oh Warren, such a stickler! I suppose you would have called the Yugo an
automobile.

now, Warren, this is taking the concept of stickler to hitherto unknown

@attbi_s04:
Having used this modem for several days now I can attest to the fact that
Warren's comment above is no exaggeration. Though the connection of the
power cord to the back of the modem is "deceivingly" good, it doesn't take
much movement at all to cause a power reset. Other than the fact that I
need to be extra careful about not disturbing it, I can't say that I have
any complaints about this modem, especially not for a cost of $10.

Not to start another extensive thread, but can you gentlemen offer some
advice on my tentative choice of modems? Having read this newsgroup for
a while, it appears that either the Lynksis BEFCMU10 or a Motorola
Surfboard might be appropriate I'll be connecting to Comcast
(Alexandria, VA) using an iMac G4 with OS 10.3.2 I've been using IPNet
SentryX 1.2 for a firewall in lieu of the firewall in OSX.
TIA, George

You were correct, it's just that Joe spelled it correctly also. I was the
one that added "<<<<<< pompos" to one of the lines of his post to show where
he was being pompous. If you look higher in his original post, you will see
that he spelled it correctly.

so he did, sorry Joe! but Bob, I found a pompos AND a pompus under your
hand, *g*.
Just for fun I'll repost Webster-Merriam's take on things pompous. Having
been reading ng's since `94, it has always seemed an apt reference in the
USENET realm. Isn't it interesting that definitions one & three are
positive, or neutral, even artistic, and we all seem to only recognize
number two! Ahhh, human behaviors, what a concept.
Main Entry: pomp·ous
Pronunciation: 'päm-p&s
Function: adjective
1 : excessively elevated or ornate <pompous rhetoric>
2 : having or exhibiting self-importance : ARROGANT <a pompous politician>
3 : relating to or suggestive of pomp : MAGNIFICENT
- pomp·ous·ly adverb
- pomp·ous·ness noun

dj,
Pompous people, posting particularly persnickety pronouncements, permanently
peeve prudent persons. Providentially, petty parsing promotes passionate,
persistent participation . perchance playful pleasure!
I believe this falls under definition #1 ;-)

I have to tip my hat to you Bob. Giving credit to a guy who recently
chastised you demonstrates integrity, and integrity is something I respect
and admire.
Cheers,
Joe
