    Congratulations!
    You have stumbled upon the anus of Usenet.

    And at the very end of the anus resides a troll who calls himself snit,
    Brock McNuggets, Sigmond and dozens of other nyms that he has posted with.

    In real life this troll at the end of the Usenet anus is in fact Michael Glasser who lives in a broken down trailer in Prescott Arizona.

    At one time this was a decent technical group but all of that changed when another full time troll who calls himself Boater Dave invited snit to join
    the group at which time the place turned into a shit show.

    Here is just a small sampling of snit's 20 years, that is not a typo, 20
    years of trolling Usenet. As you will discover, this Brock McNuggets troll
    is one seriously fucked in the head individual.

    The anus of Usenet is where all the white American Christian conservatives hide out and share information on gay porn and fat people in the 1970s
    getting it on shot in super 8.

    Indeed!
    New Jersey is called the armpit of America so I suppose we
    need an anus as well :)

    Correct again.
    Snit is one nasty, dishonest, POS troll.
    It's no wonder his common law wife recently put him out to the curb
    with the trash.


    In real life this troll at the end of the Usenet anus is in fact Michael Glasser who lives in a broken down trailer in Prescott Arizona.

    In fairness, it *IS* a double wide.
    ROTFLMAO!
    It's also an eyesore and the worst looking house on the street.
    Check Google for details as it's been posted many times already.


    At one time this was a decent technical group but all of that changed when another full time troll who calls himself Boater Dave invited snit to join the group at which time the place turned into a shit show.

    True.
    At least DB attempts to discuss tech though.
    Snit doesn't have the intelligence to even try although he does and it
    usually ends up being hilarious to say the least.

    Ask snit how the Internet is stored on his hard drive.
    While you are at it, ask snit to explain the difference between an
    engraver and a soldering iron.

    Like I said, snit's a technical "genius"
    LOL !

    I think snit is approaching 25 years of trolling, but who's counting?

    Snit is one nasty, dishonest, POS troll.

    His most amazing trait is how he can lie and be nasty in ways that cannot be quoted!

    It's no wonder his common law wife recently put him out to the curb
    with the trash.

    Meanwhile Pothead tells lies like THAT. Ones that are trivial to quote. Even
    if true -- and let's be clear they are not -- it would be inappropriate doxxing.

    So Pothead thinks somehow the things posted with the Pothead name, things that show immorality, do not count... but things Snit cannot be quoted as doing should be held against him.

    Welcome to Pothead's extreme hypocrisy!

    Ask snit how the Internet is stored on his hard drive.

    Ah, Gremlin's claim that an Internet boot was somehow booting from my hard drive.

    Snit:
    -----
    Or use Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R to start up from
    macOS Recovery over the internet.
    -----

    Gremlin <XnsB106A1C98FA72HT1@cF04o3ON7k2lx05.lLC.9r5>:
    -----
    That's the equ of quick boot for a PC, snit. It allows you to
    temporarily change the startup drive without changing the system
    configuration in UEFI or system BIOS if it's in legacy mode. I
    wasn't discussing quick boot, I was explaining (ad nausem) that
    your recovery mode is a hidden partition on the same internal
    hard disk as your OS lives.
    -----

    By the way, I have spoken of this bit of idiocy of his a number of times --
    but not tracked down any of the examples. Because you keep falsely attributing it to me I spend some time to do so. Yeah, you just helped prove how lost Gremlin can be. LOL!

    While you are at it, ask snit to explain the difference between an
    engraver and a soldering iron.

    A soldering iron and an engraver arenrCOt the same thing, no matter how confused
    you are. One melts metal to join parts together; the other vibrates or spins
    to carve surfaces. ItrCOs really not rocket science rCo though I get that might be
    asking a lot.

    You keep repeating this nonsense -- falsely attributing your buddy Gremlin's errors to me. Here, I bring receipts:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    No, an INTERNET book is not on a hidden partition. Gremlin repeatedly got that wrong. While looking into that I also found one of his errors I had not
    thought of for a while -- when he thought my 2017 iMac might have a chip that came out in 2020:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Snit:
    -----
    https://support.apple.com/kb/SP759?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Intel. It is a 2017 machine!
    -----

    Gremlin <XnsB1049FC36CAAHT1@cF04o3ON7k2lx05.lLC.9r5>:
    -----
    Great. I've seen several mac sites researching more about the
    machine you said is broken - which stated it might be Apple silicon,
    though.
    -----

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Apple does have tech they call "Time Machine" but it does not allow a user to get a 2020 machine in 2017! LOL!

    See, you trolls just make things up. I bring evidence.

    One addition to your excellent analysis is to mention that the regulars
    in
    alt.computer.workshop have shunned snit and at this point in time none of
    us are replying to snit's posts directly.
    And it's driving snit bat shit crazy.

    Currently there are two people replying to snit and they are david and
    some yo yo who calls himself %.
    All the others are good, knowledgeable people from whom you can learn a
    lot.
    Just a suggestion and not a requirement of course.
