    The former is not amenable to remote attack. The latter is.

    But your risk analysis of that attack is decades out of date.

    I haven't made any risk analysis of it. I've merely stated that the risk >>exists. A fact which is completely irrefutable. You can argue that the risk >>is lower than it used to be, and that's a fair comment - particlarly if >>backed up by statistics. But you can't argue that there is zero risk.

    If you *were8 to do a risk analysis (something which might be helpful before wading in the discussion) you'd probably find it's so low as to be nothing to worry about.

    If you knew more about Mr Goodge, and his specific personality type,
    ( something which might be helpful before making your point )
    you'd probably be better qualified to judge as to whether

    All I was saying, was that even were the disparity in risk (between
    manual presentation of a card for a fleeting inspection by an assistant,
    and placing it in an electronic device) as minimal nowadays as
    Roland is claiming, which is quite obviously specious rubbish, whether
    or not Mr Goodge would be inclined to worry about it, would depend
    on his individual risk-aversion profile.

    Whether he would be more inclined to back odds-on favourites or outsiders,
    IOW.

    Maybe it's just as well that you stick to ULM, then.

    I think billy's point was that Roland doesn't know enough about Mark
    to reliably predict what he would or would not worry about.

    It's much more polite than just saying Roland was talking complete
    bollocks, which would be more accurate but certainly not permissible
    in the moderated group.

    I think you were wrong. He was not even defining Mr Goodge's personality type, it was merely a speculation that people's approach to risk might depend on personality. By all means reject it as not new though!

    My reasoning was fully explained in my follow up-post to Mr Ribbens,
    posted the day before yesterday. As was clearly, already understood
    by Mr Ribbens. But expanded nevertheless; for the benefit of any of
    the group's more "mixed ability" readers.

    Although sadly, apparently still to no avail, in your particular case

    I don't make snide remarks. You're clearly projecting.

    As with your fantasies concerning Mr Goodge's real personality

    As clearly, being considered eccentric or neurodivergent would be of
    real concern to someone such as yourself; for reasons which can
    only be guessed at.

    "Not new" as applicable to moderation policy, means "not new" in the
    context of the thread in question; in already having been mentioned a
    number of times. Which clearly doesn't apply in this instance

    Rather than "not new" as having doubtless regularly featured in
    conversations between yourself, and your fellow intellectuals
    concerning the experiments conducted by Rottenstreich and Hseeee
    in 2001 using the almost ubiquitous American College students
    as subjects. To say nothing of the 1985 study concerning
    Risk Aversion in Rats (Rattus Norvegicus); although in that
    case not concerning itself with individual difference.

    HTH (Hope this Helps)

    If you knew more about Mr Goodge, and his specific personality type,

    you'd probably be better qualified to judge as to whether

    no matter how low it was. Probably.


    Oh, was I wrong to reject it?

    I thought "Mr Goodge, and his specific personality type" was a snide
    remark about Mr Goodge, whether it was that he was neurodivergent or
    maybe eccentric. Has Mr Goodge ever published detqils of his
    personality type for the public to see?

    I think you were wrong. He was not even defining Mr Goodge's personality type,
    it was merely a speculation that people's approach to risk might depend on >> personality. By all means reject it as not new though!

    "Not new" as applicable to moderation policy, means "not new" in the
    context of the thread in question; in already having been mentioned a
    number of times. Which clearly doesn't apply in this instance

    Rather than "not new" as having doubtless regularly featured in
    conversations between yourself, and your fellow intellectuals
    concerning the experiments conducted by Rottenstreich and Hseeee
    in 2001 using the almost ubiquitous American College students
    as subjects. To say nothing of the 1985 study concerning
    Risk Aversion in Rats (Rattus Norvegicus); although in that
    case not concerning itself with individual difference.

    I would imagine that the precise syntax of Linnaean Classification would be of rather less relevance in a Group concerning itself with NewsGroup moderation; than would details of the moderation policy itself.

    Although as always, I would be more than happy to be proved wrong.

    He has a characteristic style, which convinces many people he's always
    right, but sadly he's often wrong.

    I think "often" is a little unfair. "Occasionally" would be more
    accurate.

    On many such occasions I think you'll find he wasn't wrong at all.
    But like many others, no doubt based on his 20 yrs experience
    he very sensibly decided to simply walk away. Rather than
    continue to bang his head against a brick wall.

    Either that, or be blocked for harrassment..

    He's never used inappropriate language, but does have *some* opinions
    which need challenging. One long standing topic is photography in public places, but of private places (eg standing in the street with a lens
    pointed at someone's bedroom window), where I think he's plain wrong to
    say it's OK.
