My opinion of myself isn't going to line up with yours,  partly because I know a good deal more about myself than you do, but mainly because your judgement isn't great.

As you tell us here - more or less non-stop - your judgement is remarkably poor, and you embrace a remarkable number of of stupid misconceptions.

Nobody here wants to know what you think about anything, and it would be nice if you didn't bother to tell us.

Hey SL0W MAN, I'll grant you one thing: you have a highly OVER-RATED view of yourself.

NT isn't  great at distinguishing signal from noise.  He has this delusion that what he posts is signal rather than noise, and feels hurt when other people point out that what he's posting is deluded nonsense. He comforts himself with idea that he is being jeered at rather than corrected.


> He'll come back with more. Some folk I'm just grateful to not have their problems. 


And the rest of us are grateful not to have yours. Being a gullible twit can get you into all sorts of trouble - I've seen  it happen.


> This new GG interface is moronic. 


It is less than helpful. Quite why they changed it isn't clear. It's predecessor was easier to work with than the traditional threaded display, but the new version isn't an improvement.

There nothing in the least idiotic about  pointing when NT is being idiotic. Only another idiot  - like Flyguy - would fail to see the necessity.

That's his thing, 90% noise, 10% signal, childish posturing insults at every opportunity. He'll come back with more. Some folk I'm just grateful to not have their problems.

He's just the same kind of idiot. It's not as if there is any significant difference between them. They will be  aware of the differences, but  - as Samuel Johnson said "there is no settling the point of precedency between a louse and a flea". 


> ICBA to engage with Sloman. 


Of course you can't. I point out where you are being idiotic, and you don't enjoy that at all.

That is one of the problems with this disease.  There are people who not only don't take it seriously, but think it is a hoax.  Some of them have died of the disease.  

It is just bad enough to kill a lot of people, but not so bad that it kills enough to be highly visible on a personal level.  Several posters here talk about the disease in their own corner as if that meant anything in the grand picture.  

In many ways this disease is the perfect storm of pandemic, highly communicable and not serious enough to get everyone's focused attention.  While we debate how to best deal with the disease it steadily marches toward 2% infected, but still a long way from herd immunity.

The casualties and economic damage of C-19 when it's all said and done 
may be about equivalent to a limited nuclear exchange where 25-50 
weapons hit mostly strategic targets on each side. Million dead, times 
three wounded, takes the better part of a decade for economy to recover.
