    Hi folks!

    When updating my old Toshiba laptop yesterday I espied a "Hidden
    Network" apparently connected to my computer.

    Here's a screenshot of what I saw:- https://jmp.sh/HovRfCR6

    Can anyone provide some further insight, please.

    Hi folks!

    It's cute you think you have friends and good relationships here. :)

    When updating my old Toshiba laptop yesterday I espied a "Hidden
    Network" apparently connected to my computer.

    Why do you think it's connected to your computer?
    It's not, I'm just asking you why you thought it was. I'm sure your answer
    will give me just as much of, if not more, of a chuckle as when I read
    this post of yours.

    Here's a screenshot of what I saw:- https://jmp.sh/HovRfCR6

    A normal looking wireless network selection screen. It's a shame you have
    to emulate snit as you're doing. Next you'll be uploading videos for such
    crap as this.

    Can anyone provide some further insight, please.

    Is google broken, old bean? Or, are you still unable to effectively use it?
    The time it took you to write this post, and wait! for a single reply was
    time you could have better spent googling it for an instant answer.

    A hidden network is a wireless network that for a variety of reasons is
    not broadcasting an SSID. As you can clearly see though, not doing that
    doesn't really 'hide' the network. It can still be picked up; it just
    doesn't have a name associated with it.

    Technology isn't going to go away, David. Isn't it time you get with the program and start to learn how the modern world around you actually works?

    I was told I could avoid Jail if I went to therapy.
    At my first session the therapist said to me, "Imagine a train is coming towards you, what do you do?" I said, "I get in my helicopter and fly away"
    He said, "Where did you get the helicopter from?" I said, "The same fuckin place you got that train"

    I don't think he can because he can only do things as per his dusty book
    and that's not been updated (content / technology / morality) for a
    couple of thousand years now. ;-(

    When I first noticed, I was actually CONNECTED to this "Hidden Network".

    Was it yours?

    Always wondering! ;-)

    That connection clearly indicates "secured". Your computer cannot
    accidentally connect to it. A correct password is required.

    Agreed! Can you suggest how I could/should investigate further?

    I've mainly been using Apple computers and devices since 2009 so,
    although I grew up on Windows 3.1 and upwards, I'm somewhat rusty now.

    Any suggestions will be welcomed.

    If you connected to it without realising, then the SSID (network name)
    and password must have been stored on the device you used.
    Unless (of course) someone else logged into it from your device.
    Let us know if your own router is in the list.


    Hi Ed :-)

    I snipped the list - mine WAS showing at the top when I took the photograph!

    I'd just done a complete 'Recovery' of the computer (Windows10) but it
    is old now (maybe 10 years) and has been used for all manner of Internet explorations over the years!

    A way more likely to confound any unwarranted access would be to rename
    the SSID to something better camouflaged; BT-HJ132ZXC or EE-RTGJ097-19
    or SKY-TYMKO180.
    I have a local user who seems obsessed with renaming his/her SSID.
    "Susan's private line", "Scarborough Fayre", "N's connection" are a few
    I recall.

    Can anyone provide some further insight, please.

    Is google broken, old bean? Or, are you still unable to

    The time it took you to write this post, and wait! for a single

    time you could have better spent googling it for an instant answer. >>>>>>>
    A hidden network is a wireless network that for a variety of

    Technology isn't going to go away, David. Isn't it time you get
    with the
    program and start to learn how the modern world around you
    actually works?


    When I first noticed, I was actually CONNECTED to this "Hidden
    Network".

    Was it yours?

    Always wondering! ;-)

    That connection clearly indicates "secured". Your computer cannot
    accidentally connect to it. A correct password is required.

    Agreed! Can you suggest how I could/should investigate further?

    I've mainly been using Apple computers and devices since 2009 so,
    although I grew up on Windows 3.1 and upwards, I'm somewhat rusty now. >>>>
    Any suggestions will be welcomed.


    If you connected to it without realising, then the SSID (network
    name) and password must have been stored on the device you used.
    Unless (of course) someone else logged into it from your device.
    Let us know if your own router is in the list.


    Hi Ed :-)

    I snipped the list - mine WAS showing at the top when I took the
    photograph!

    I'd just done a complete 'Recovery' of the computer (Windows10) but it
    is old now (maybe 10 years) and has been used for all manner of
    Internet explorations over the years!

    HTH


    I'm trying to think of a good reason to hide your SSID, but can't find one.

    Perhaps you should read here? https://nordvpn.com/blog/what-is-ssid/

    For example, let's imagine you want to screen it from the eyes of
    somebody. Well, if they tried to log onto it, couldn't find it, but then noticed the new Hidden Network, they could simply click on that.

    That seems like a security risk if ever there was one! ;-)

    There must be something I'm overlooking here. Perhaps someone can tell us.

    A poster here, Dustin J. Cook, is a former Black Hat Hacker and has
    tried for years to hurt other Internet users.
    He wrote real-life viruses and released them to the world. Here's one:- https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/irok.shtml

    His current 'User Name' on the Usenet is Gremlin.

    Just so you know. He was never caught and punished.

    Hidden SSIDs are the "Don't tell him, Pike" of WiFi ...

    In Windows, that entry can be a "collection point for damaged Wifi info".

    Regular services, during some sort of technical flap, can end up
    classified as Hidden Networks, requiring the network stack to be reset
    by the user.

    The entry can "hide" multiple services which lack a broadcast SSID.
    When you select that link and log in, you will be asked for a progression
    of info, to identify which of the services of that class, you're
    connecting to. So rather than showing multiple "Hidden Network" icons,
    there is only one.

    When I had a Wifi card in my desktop here, for test, nothing in
    the neighbourhood was Hidden. They all had names.

    The Wifi module in a lot of equipment, can be unplugged.
    That's an option for those who feel they're connected to something naughty,
    or that they're being spied on.

    For David, unplugging is definitely the right answer.
    No menu ?? Joy. That Ethernet connector on the machine works
    just great for computing. No need of Wifi. This is why, when
    I fitted Wifi cards for point to point test, I removed
    them right afterwards. Not interested in Wifi. Or the
    things that cause Wifi. I would be more in favor of Wifi,
    if only the 60Ghz version was used, and the signal refused
    to leave the room. That's my idea of Wifi.

    Since secured(password required to connect/acces) the difference in
    other shown secured wifi networks is as you noted the SSID not broadcast.

    In this case, it means nothing else.
    - i.e. present due to the router or modem-router or Windows ability to
    show it - just like all other secured networks

    David, you must have a "Kick Me" sign on the back of your shirt. That's the same

    BTW, that's a nice blend of harmlessly true and blatantly false statements you've made above. Good show, chum. Once again, you've shown everyone what you are.

    Agreed! Can you suggest how I could/should investigate further?

    I've mainly been using Apple computers and devices since 2009 so,
    although I grew up on Windows 3.1 and upwards, I'm somewhat rusty
    now.

    Any suggestions will be welcomed.


    If you connected to it without realising, then the SSID (network
    name) and password must have been stored on the device you used.
    Unless (of course) someone else logged into it from your device.
    Let us know if your own router is in the list.


    Hi Ed :-)

    I snipped the list - mine WAS showing at the top when I took the
    photograph!

    I'd just done a complete 'Recovery' of the computer (Windows10) but
    it is old now (maybe 10 years) and has been used for all manner of
    Internet explorations over the years!

    HTH


    I'm trying to think of a good reason to hide your SSID, but can't
    find one.

    Perhaps you should read here?ย  https://nordvpn.com/blog/what-is-ssid/

    For example, let's imagine you want to screen it from the eyes of
    somebody. Well, if they tried to log onto it, couldn't find it, but
    then noticed the new Hidden Network, they could simply click on that.

    That seems like a security risk if ever there was one! ;-)

    There must be something I'm overlooking here. Perhaps someone can
    tell us.

    Keep your AV up to date; keep your firewall active. And bear in mind
    that the generation of kids whose delight it was to vandalise dad's new technology has now grown into adulthood and acquired other interests.
    The malware these days comes from highly tech-savvy criminals out to
    make money, not win kudos.

    Thank you, Ed. :-D

    Although I don't believe that AV is strictly necessary on Windows 10, I
    am actually running AVG on that machine.

    Have you ANY idea how to remove "Hidden Network" - stop the words from
    showing on my screen?

    Get rid of that bloated AVG; Windows Security has been protecting my
    boxes of tricks for years - successfully.

    I think I'll do just that! Thanks for the prompt!

    "Hidden Network" can be translated into other languages. Try Google
    Translate or ChatGPT. Or maybe change Windows language.

    I've been thinking about this! What I suspect is that it's part of the
    UK National BT Wi-Fi system so that any BT subscriber can log-in to the
    router of ANY BT customer and can use the Internet by providing their
    own BT ID - or pay for the privilege! https://www.btwifi.co.uk/

    Oh, and while you're speaking to ChatGPT, thank the little bot for its
    recent chat with me. I went walking along the Rochdale Canal, and I
    passed so many locks that I had to research. There are an average of 3
    locks per mile; the reason being the up-and-downness of the landscape it traverses.

    No need for AI! :-D

    https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-network/rochdale-canal

    It's one of the few British waterways which I've not navigated - my
    narrowboat was just a few inches too long to get through some of the locks!

    Dustin has NEVER accepted the truth. That's down to him, not me.

    We went out on 'Nessie Hunter IV' with George Edwards when motorcycle
    touring Scotland one year.

    He had previously videoed the bottom of the Loch (Ness) and it was
    interesting to see how flat and empty it was (because it was previously
    a V shaped valley that had partly filled with sediment).

    Too dark for any vegetation to grow, outside the very edges so nothing
    much down there for animals to live on, especially big ones. ;-)

    Turn off the WiFi or find the owner of that access point and ask them to reconfigure on your behalf.

    noticed the new Hidden Network, they could simply click on that.

    That seems like a security risk if ever there was one! ;-)

    In what way? There are downsides of hiding your SSID but security risk isn't likely to be at the top of that list. What does your AI say?

    You know what? You won't answer my question about the security risk. Instead, if
    you reply at all, you'll give me a link to somewhere that you hope will explain it for you, but I'm not interested in your links and very rarely, like almost never, click on them. You know why.

    Hi folks!

    A hidden network is a wireless network that for a variety of reasons is
    not broadcasting an SSID. As you can clearly see though, not doing that
    doesn't really 'hide' the network. It can still be picked up; it just
    doesn't have a name associated with it.

    Technology isn't going to go away, David. Isn't it time you get with the
    program and start to learn how the modern world around you actually works?


    When I first noticed, I was actually CONNECTED to this "Hidden Network".

    No, you weren't.

    In order to connect to that network, you'd have to provide the proper password, either this time or a previous time, so your claim of "When I first noticed" goes out the window.

    You and honesty appear to be complete strangers. That's not a good look.

    When I first noticed, I was actually CONNECTED to this "Hidden Network".

    No, you weren't.

    *How could YOU possibly know that*?!!!

    Quite simple.

    In order to connect to that network, you'd have to provide the proper password, either this time or a previous time, so your claim of "When I first noticed" goes out the window.

    Not false. It's a Secure network, meaning you have to provide a password in order to connect. There is no logical way you could have already been connected when you first noticed, as you claimed above. Your claim was false.

    Hi Ed,

    FWIW, You really shouldn't take anything David has written about me at face value. He's leaving out considerable detail in his efforts to slime me here.

    He didn't for example, mention that he had no problem with my past, that's
    why he contacted me via email actually. He decided he had a problem with me when I wouldn't use my former blackhat skills for his benefit. He wanted me
    to break into two servers on his behalf. Two servers who ran forums he was
    no longer welcome to be a member of; he'd violated the TOS of the servers
    again and got himself an account ban. He wears them with pride.

    He got so upset with my continued refusal to do some work for him, that he tried to openly dox me on usenet, in multiple newsgroups and found no harm
    in it. Only a couple of years later, when I returned the favor in spades did
    he decide it wasn't so funny.

    David Brooks is a very well known internet stalking kook, just so you know.

    Not entirely true. I am a former blackhat, as well as former VXer who's long since apologized, many times for the harm the code I wrote caused others.


    He wrote real-life viruses and released them to the world. Here's one:- https://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/irok.shtml

    It's over two decades old, and long before you ever knew me, David. You had
    no issues with that when you were emailing me. You asked me about it, infact via email. If I really did that. I told you I did. I didn't lie to you, and
    I did try to help you via email as per your requests.

    It was only when I refused to do some blackhat shit for you that you decided you had a problem with me. That's when you tried to dox me initially all
    over usenet.

    His current 'User Name' on the Usenet is Gremlin.

    Yep.

    Just so you know. He was never caught and punished.

    caught and punished for what specifically, David?
    And why are you even bringing this up? If you're going to go out of your way
    to slime me as you're doing, you should be honest about it. Tell them that you're upset with me because you couldn't hire me; to break into other
    peoples equipment that you'd been banned from previously.

    Why aren't you telling them that before you emailed me, pretending to need
    help with an old antimalware program I wrote known as BugHunter, that you already did a little stalking of me?

    If you're going to write dirt on me, you should write all of it. You
    wouldn't want people to mistakenly think you were trying to mislead them, right?

    No, you didn't. And, I didn't take what you did the wrong way either. The reason I know you weren't joking when you went and did it was because of how many newsgroups you did it in, and the followup enjoyment you were having

    Hahaha. I hope that isn't a rhetorical question. That said, one could verify whether or not the networks SSID is Hidden Network, or if it's really not broadcasting one.

    Have you noticed that I've asked Snit and David, both, several times now,
    why if Snits claims concerning what I did/didn't know about cloning were
    true; why isn't anyone else backing him and calling me out? I'm not exactly
    on the greatest of terms with everyone who posts here. There's no incentive
    or benefit for anyone to remain silent and let me get away with talking shit, about, anything.

    Yet, so far, the only posts Snit or david has gotten about his claims concerning my knowledge was from Kelly who didn't fall for Snits ruse... :)

    I'm waiting for a logical explanation for that, but, I suspect hell will
    freeze over long before I get one. What do you think?

    I wasn't a 'bad guy' by the time you heard of me. That's what you didn't realize when you tried to hire me for those very specific, proven, blackhat skills I have.

    Which you're contradicting when you support Snits bullshit efforts to twist
    and project concerning the entire cloning discussion. He's blowing smoke up your ass, and I strongly suspect you know that, but, you're playing along
    with his continued efforts to slime me.

    Is that why you haven't responded to Kelly when they called you out for swallowing Snits bullshit hook line and sinker?

    David, if what Snit was writing was true, why isn't anyone backing him? Why instead do we see a poster, Kelly calling you out for believing it? If what
    I wrote about the subject was bullshit, don't you think he and others would
    be calling me out for it by now?

    Do you really think a six year old file system would be 'new' to me, David?
    I don't think you really believe that. I think you're playing along with whatever snit writes about me, because I've really pissed you off. :)

    Perhaps I teased you too much, but you were VERY easy to troll! ;-)

    It's always teasing with you when you get called out for doing very
    dishonest shit towards someone else. I don't recallyou admitting you were trollig me or anyone else previously though. Interesting.

    Good grief, you're clumsy and awkward when you try to be clever. Fail.

    Here's a question for the experts, what if someone labeled their network
    name as "Hidden Network", how would that show up?
    I get that the network DB is speaking of is secured.

    Hahaha. I hope that isn't a rhetorical question. That said, one could verify whether or not the networks SSID is Hidden Network, or if it's really not broadcasting one.

    Have you noticed that I've asked Snit and David, both, several times now,
    why if Snits claims concerning what I did/didn't know about cloning were true; why isn't anyone else backing him and calling me out? I'm not exactly on the greatest of terms with everyone who posts here. There's no incentive or benefit for anyone to remain silent and let me get away with talking shit, about, anything.

    Yet, so far, the only posts Snit or david has gotten about his claims concerning my knowledge was from Kelly who didn't fall for Snits ruse... :)

    I'm waiting for a logical explanation for that, but, I suspect hell will freeze over long before I get one. What do you think?

    Yep !!!
    I was baiting snit !
    LOL !
    I think my question spun his head around like Linda Blair !

    I wasn't a 'bad guy' by the time you heard of me. That's what you didn't realize when you tried to hire me for those very specific, proven, blackhat skills I have.

    Which you're contradicting when you support Snits bullshit efforts to twist and project concerning the entire cloning discussion. He's blowing smoke up your ass, and I strongly suspect you know that, but, you're playing along with his continued efforts to slime me.

    Is that why you haven't responded to Kelly when they called you out for swallowing Snits bullshit hook line and sinker?

    David, if what Snit was writing was true, why isn't anyone backing him? Why instead do we see a poster, Kelly calling you out for believing it? If what
    I wrote about the subject was bullshit, don't you think he and others would be calling me out for it by now?

    Do you really think a six year old file system would be 'new' to me, David?
    I don't think you really believe that. I think you're playing along with whatever snit writes about me, because I've really pissed you off. :)

    Gremlin has a challenge with the idea that six year old file system is newer than the one Apple used starting in... 1986? Not sure. Around then. They did update it later, but not completely redo it.

    LOL! He really is sorta clueless. What common file systems are newer? It is not like apps which get updated significant year by year.

    And, of course, you saw how he was lost on the idea of a file copy not taking any signifiant room, even for a 10 GB file.

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older drives strategies had that part of that feature. Within a volume, making a
    copy meant merely making another path to the same resource on disk --
    not even a new file gets created in that case even though you get a
    'new icon' in your user interface. Making a copy to another volume
    caused creation of an actual new complete file. Modifying the 'copy' in
    the aforementioned 'new path' scenario would cause a file to actually
    be created with the modifications and the two files would then be
    different.

    I know for a fact that Gremlin is/was aware of this as it was discussed
    before, so he could not have been 'lost' as you suggest. Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    Gremlin:
    -----
    So you don't realize he isn't making sense? I'll make this
    easy for you. How would a system let you think you copied
    a file from point a to point b, but somehow, the copy in
    point b is actually just the differences between the
    copies, except that there aren't any differences between
    them until you make a change to the original or the
    duplicate one.
    -----

    The idea of a copy not being a "real" copy made no sense to him. And what differences when you copy the file? When you copy it has no differences... though of course you can change each file (even though in the background they are the same). He had no clue what was being talked about.

    -----
    Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied
    file isn't really a copy, it's an incremental backup (only
    the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
    a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was
    being copied. So, how is it just copying over changes you
    havent even made yet?
    -----

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then copying changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was just completely lost on the topic.

    -----
    If I copy file a from location one to location two; it
    should be a complete copy. It can't track differences and
    just save those yet, I haven't gone back and made any
    changes to the original.
    -----

    And here he made a VERY direct claim that the copied file should be a
    "complete copy". No. it is just a pointer to the same file. Not a "complete copy". He did not understand the concept.

    -----
    You seem confused here, Snit, but, I'm always interested
    in learning something new. So, which file systems
    specifically are doing this on file copy commands?
    -----

    And then I let him know I was speaking of APFS... and he pretended I was
    saying this was unique to APFS. He just could not understand anything about
    the topic.

    Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    Of course. And the video I pointed him to showed him that... but it was not
    new to me. I merely showed him that because I figured a visual would be
    better. But he was the one who was lost about this... as shown by his own words.

    My guess is Gremlin will jump in to try to nit pick some wording I used... I have not revisited it, but even if my wording was not perfect I clearly was
    not as completely lost as what Gremlin shows he was.

    I do want to be clear: I am NOT putting Gremlin down for not knowing. That is fine. But if you look at his tone in all of that he was not only ignorant
    (that is fine) he was condescending and arrogant. THAT is the issue I have
    with him. Even when he has no idea about what is being discussed he wants to pretend not only that he is an expert but that he is better than others he
    deep down feels inferior to.

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older drives
    strategies had that part of that feature. Within a volume, making a
    copy meant merely making another path to the same resource on disk --
    not even a new file gets created in that case even though you get a
    'new icon' in your user interface.

    That is what I am talking about. APFS does that. HFS/HFS+ does not.

    Making a copy to another volume
    caused creation of an actual new complete file. Modifying the 'copy' in
    the aforementioned 'new path' scenario would cause a file to actually
    be created with the modifications and the two files would then be
    different.

    Of course.

    I know for a fact that Gremlin is/was aware of this as it was discussed
    before, so he could not have been 'lost' as you suggest.

    When I spoke of APFS making copies on the same volume the way you just
    described he jumped in to disagree and spout nonsense.

    Gremlin:
    -----
    So you don't realize he isn't making sense? I'll make this
    easy for you. How would a system let you think you copied
    a file from point a to point b, but somehow, the copy in
    point b is actually just the differences between the
    copies, except that there aren't any differences between
    them until you make a change to the original or the
    duplicate one.
    -----

    The idea of a copy not being a "real" copy made no sense to him. And what
    differences when you copy the file? When you copy it has no differences... >> though of course you can change each file (even though in the background
    they
    are the same). He had no clue what was being talked about.

    -----
    Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied
    file isn't really a copy, it's an incremental backup (only
    the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
    a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was
    being copied. So, how is it just copying over changes you
    havent even made yet?
    -----

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then
    copying
    changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was just completely >> lost on the topic.

    -----
    If I copy file a from location one to location two; it
    should be a complete copy. It can't track differences and
    just save those yet, I haven't gone back and made any
    changes to the original.
    -----

    And here he made a VERY direct claim that the copied file should be a
    "complete copy". No. it is just a pointer to the same file. Not a "complete >> copy". He did not understand the concept.

    -----
    You seem confused here, Snit, but, I'm always interested
    in learning something new. So, which file systems
    specifically are doing this on file copy commands?
    -----

    And then I let him know I was speaking of APFS... and he pretended I was
    saying this was unique to APFS. He just could not understand anything about >> the topic.

    Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    Of course. And the video I pointed him to showed him that... but it was not >> new to me. I merely showed him that because I figured a visual would be
    better. But he was the one who was lost about this... as shown by his own
    words.

    I wonder what FTR will say in response to you.

    I'm on the sidelines here! :-)

    He said that Gremlin was lost on the whole idea of a 'copy' not taking
    up storage space ... I said he was not. As far as which Apple
    filesystem uses it and when, I couldn't care any less. Copy on write is
    well known in the fast storage realm.

    My guess is Gremlin will jump in to try to nit pick some wording I used... I have not revisited it, but even if my wording was not perfect I clearly was not as completely lost as what Gremlin shows he was.
    Doubtful.
    That's

    I do want to be clear: I am NOT putting Gremlin down for not knowing. That is fine. But if you look at his tone in all of that he was not only ignorant (that is fine) he was condescending and arrogant. THAT is the issue I have with him. Even when he has no idea about what is being discussed he wants to pretend not only that he is an expert but that he is better than others he deep down feels inferior to.

    Why not cut the passive aggressive act snit?
    It's worn out and you aren't fooling anyone.

    So you don't realize he isn't making sense? I'll make this
    easy for you. How would a system let you think you copied
    a file from point a to point b, but somehow, the copy in
    point b is actually just the differences between the
    copies, except that there aren't any differences between
    them until you make a change to the original or the
    duplicate one.
    -----

    The idea of a copy not being a "real" copy made no sense to him. And what >>>> differences when you copy the file? When you copy it has no differences... >>>> though of course you can change each file (even though in the background >>>> they

    -----
    Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied
    file isn't really a copy, it's an incremental backup (only
    the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
    a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was
    being copied. So, how is it just copying over changes you
    havent even made yet?
    -----

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then
    copying
    changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was just completely
    lost on the topic.

    -----
    If I copy file a from location one to location two; it
    should be a complete copy. It can't track differences and
    just save those yet, I haven't gone back and made any
    changes to the original.
    -----

    And here he made a VERY direct claim that the copied file should be a
    "complete copy". No. it is just a pointer to the same file. Not a "complete
    copy". He did not understand the concept.

    -----
    You seem confused here, Snit, but, I'm always interested

    I'm on the sidelines here! :-)

    He said that Gremlin was lost on the whole idea of a 'copy' not taking
    up storage space ...

    Yet he said: "If I copy file a from location one to location two; it should be
    a complete copy."

    This was in reference to storage space... as in it SHOULD take up the "expected" storage space.


    You are totally lost and now you are trying to rewrite history like you always seem to do.
    Nobody is fooled.

    I know some of the individuals who make use of that forum. Some of them are gurus, many are not. More are like Snit than they are like me, if that helps you. I'll play along though, it beats well, you know. What do you think they will be schooling me in?

Isn't it nice to read from some of the others who post here with technical backgrounds have all backed up what I wrote, while, not supporting - as in telling him that he's wrong - Snit. What do you have to say about that David? It didn't turn out as you expected, eh, old bean.

    six year old file system, isn't "new".

    LOL! He really is sorta clueless.

    As you've learned, because several people have stepped in and corrected you, you have been wrong about my knowledge of cloning, from the jump. And these efforts to be insulting are worthless Snit. You have hundreds of people
    who've voiced their opinions concerning you, as well as documenting how you behave towards others online. Especially when you've been caught, as you
    have been (again), telling a porkie.

    What common file systems are newer? It
    is not like apps which get updated significant year by year.

    funny snit, must be an echo in here, because that's almost verbatim word for word what I wrote to you about your claim that Apples file system was 'new'. It's six fucking years old, it hasn't been 'new' in a long long time. The
    fact it's the latest file system offered by Apple doesn't make it 'new'. Age
    is still age, regardless.

    And, of course, you saw how he was lost on the idea of a file copy not
    taking any signifiant room, even for a 10 GB file.

    Heh, of course, you realize that multiple people have stepped into the conversation now, and not a single person with a tech background here has backed what you wrote about the subject, a single time. Instead, they've corrected you. FtR flat out told you that you were wrong, more than once.
    Kelly busted you, SC went into greater detail picking apart what I wrote, practically highlighting all of the things you didn't understand

    You are, as I said before, writing from your asshole concerning me. Hoping
    to make some kind of sale.

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older drives

    I didn't spout any nonsense. That's why Kelly called you out when you tried

    it, you struggle to understand what you're reading. As a result of that, you literally make assumptions and go all over the mental map trying to link
    what you think someone wrote to whatever narrative suits you at the time. In this case, you failed quite nicely. Not only at one upping me, but also

    It really doesn't matter.

    and he pretended I was saying this was unique to APFS.

    What adult in this day and age uses the word pretending?

    He just could not understand anything about the topic.

    Heh, how many more people need to say the same thing as Ftr, Kelly, SC, Pothead, and myself, before it sinks in that you are completely wrong, and
    off point here, Snit?

    Or, are you going to pull the, well that's my opinion to try and justify
    what you wrote? That's the routine you used with the floodbot accusation,
    after all. And it looks to me that you are attempting to have a repeat scenario. Evidently, nobody bothered to tell you but the last time you tried
    to pull this BS, it didn't work out well for you.

    Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    Of course. And the video I pointed him to showed him that... but it was
    not new to me.

    Nor me. I've known of the incremental backup technology and variations of it since I was a little kid. I especially know the pointers and tables trick, because, As FtR can vouch for me, I used to write disk cloning apps on my
    coco3 and it would break the copy protection methods used in that time
    period, too. It also allowed me to create 'hidden' data, by swapping out the FATs; and as long as some idiot user didn't make too many writes, or a few small writes but large amounts of data, your own personal data would be private; it wouldn't show up in a dir listing.

    I reviewed the video link you offered, and proceeded to ask you if you
    actually watched it, or skimmed the first few frames assumed it would
    describe the process as you understood it, etc. I asked if you actually
    watched it because it was supporting what I wrote to David about the subject; but it didn't support your claims.

    I merely showed him that because I figured a visual would
    be better.

    It's an established fact that YOU are notorious for requiring audio/visual learning aids. I don't have the problem you do there, so I don't need the
    video link. I do appreciate you sharing the one you did though. it's a shame you struggle so much with reading comprehension though; because if you
    didn't, you'd have known the video supports me, not you.

    So, again, did you basically stop a few seconds into the video and assume it would serve the purpose? It seems like that's what you did here.

    But he was the one who was lost about this.

    This claim of yours has been debunked, several times now.

    as shown by his own words.

    What has actually been shown by using my own words, (lol, thanks Snit!) is
    that you do, as I've written for nearly three years now, have a serious, reading comprehension problem.

    You aren't even trying to hide the fact that you're a dishonest as fuck
    troll. It's no wonder you ike snit so much. Tell me David,, doesn't it get
    old, you know.. Supporting him in the open, only to have several regulars
    all call him out for bsing you, and you for being too igorant and
    condescending to even notice.

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older

    Of course.

    I know for a fact that Gremlin is/was aware of this as it was
    discussed before, so he could not have been 'lost' as you suggest.

    When I spoke of APFS making copies on the same volume the way you

    Gremlin:

    So you don't realize he isn't making sense? I'll make this

    Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied

    the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
    a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then >>>>> copying changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was

    If I copy file a from location one to location two; it

    Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the
    task.

    Of course. And the video I pointed him to showed him that... but it
    was not new to me. I merely showed him that because I figured a
    visual would be better. But he was the one who was lost about this... >>>>> as shown by his own words.

    I wonder what FTR will say in response to you.

    I'm on the sidelines here! :-)

    My guess is Gremlin will jump in to try to nit pick some wording I
    used... I have not revisited it, but even if my wording was not perfect
    I clearly was not as completely lost as what Gremlin shows he was.
    Doubtful.
    That's

    I do want to be clear: I am NOT putting Gremlin down for not knowing.
    That is fine. But if you look at his tone in all of that he was not
    only ignorant (that is fine) he was condescending and arrogant. THAT is
    the issue I have with him. Even when he has no idea about what is being
    discussed he wants to pretend not only that he is an expert but that he
    is better than others he deep down feels inferior to.

    Why not cut the passive aggressive act snit?
    It's worn out and you aren't fooling anyone.

    He thinks he is, that's why he does it.

    You're not only putting words in my mouth, but, you're also making some batshit crazy seriously, crazy, assumptions while you do so. I said that a six year old file system, isn't "new".

    LOL! He really is sorta clueless.

    As you've learned, because several people have stepped in and corrected you, you have been wrong about my knowledge of cloning, from the jump. And these efforts to be insulting are worthless Snit. You have hundreds of people who've voiced their opinions concerning you, as well as documenting how you behave towards others online. Especially when you've been caught, as you
    have been (again), telling a porkie.

    What common file systems are newer? It
    is not like apps which get updated significant year by year.

    funny snit, must be an echo in here, because that's almost verbatim word for word what I wrote to you about your claim that Apples file system was 'new'. It's six fucking years old, it hasn't been 'new' in a long long time. The fact it's the latest file system offered by Apple doesn't make it 'new'. Age is still age, regardless.

    And, of course, you saw how he was lost on the idea of a file copy not
    taking any signifiant room, even for a 10 GB file.

    Heh, of course, you realize that multiple people have stepped into the conversation now, and not a single person with a tech background here has backed what you wrote about the subject, a single time. Instead, they've corrected you. FtR flat out told you that you were wrong, more than once. Kelly busted you, SC went into greater detail picking apart what I wrote, practically highlighting all of the things you didn't understand

    You are, as I said before, writing from your asshole concerning me. Hoping
    to make some kind of sale.


    It seems to me when snit misreads a post and as such his reply is incorrect he just triples down on
    his error rather than admitting he is in error. Then he adds in some "it's ok to be wrong and I
    don't judge my opponent" BS as some sprinkles on the ice cream.

    I'd love to see how long snit would last in the local pub watching football on the big screens.
    Some drunk mountain of a man would stuff snit into the urinal and flush him. However, I do suspect
    snit identifies as female so even a 1.7m tall, 45kg girl would stuff him head first into the loo
    and pull the chain.

    The idea of a copy not being a "real" copy made no sense to him. And what
    differences when you copy the file? When you copy it has no differences... >> though of course you can change each file (even though in the background
    they
    are the same). He had no clue what was being talked about.

    -----
    Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied
    file isn't really a copy, it's an incremental backup (only
    the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
    a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was
    being copied. So, how is it just copying over changes you
    havent even made yet?
    -----

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then
    copying
    changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was just completely >> lost on the topic.

    -----
    If I copy file a from location one to location two; it
    should be a complete copy. It can't track differences and
    just save those yet, I haven't gone back and made any
    changes to the original.
    -----

    And here he made a VERY direct claim that the copied file should be a
    "complete copy". No. it is just a pointer to the same file. Not a "complete >> copy". He did not understand the concept.

    -----
    You seem confused here, Snit, but, I'm always interested
    in learning something new. So, which file systems
    specifically are doing this on file copy commands?
    -----

    And then I let him know I was speaking of APFS... and he pretended I was
    saying this was unique to APFS. He just could not understand anything about >> the topic.

    Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    Of course. And the video I pointed him to showed him that... but it was not >> new to me. I merely showed him that because I figured a visual would be
    better. But he was the one who was lost about this... as shown by his own
    words.

    Oops! I've missed a video, eh?

    Please will you post again? TIA

    FromTheRafters 'knows his stuff' and it seem he doesn't agree with you.
    As I said before, I know next to nothing about this subject, so cannot
    make a judgement call. It's only mildly interesting to me as I've got
    LOADS of free space!

    I think that there is a language barrier. He most likely thinks in code
    (direct hardware access) so a copy literally means a copy. In a
    userland GUI menu or drag 'n' drop functionality (or perhaps even a CLI command) it is a request that underlying file and disk management
    system software handles.

    In this case someone with editing permissions opens a file for editing
    and instead gets a clone (not a copy) in a storage area, not being part
    of the file storage area, as a 'working copy' to view. If an edit is
    made (the point I think he was making) only then will the difference
    data be something to store in a way similar to some incremental backup strategies; a 'delta' is formed with the accumulated change data.

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older

    making a copy meant merely making another path to the same resource >>>>>> on disk -- not even a new file gets created in that case even though >>>>>> you get a 'new icon' in your user interface.

    Of course.

    I know for a fact that Gremlin is/was aware of this as it was
    discussed before, so he could not have been 'lost' as you suggest.

    When I spoke of APFS making copies on the same volume the way you

    Gremlin:

    I'm on the sidelines here! :-)

    My guess is Gremlin will jump in to try to nit pick some wording I
    used... I have not revisited it, but even if my wording was not perfect
    I clearly was not as completely lost as what Gremlin shows he was.
    Doubtful.
    That's

    I do want to be clear: I am NOT putting Gremlin down for not knowing.
    That is fine. But if you look at his tone in all of that he was not
    only ignorant (that is fine) he was condescending and arrogant. THAT is
    the issue I have with him. Even when he has no idea about what is being
    discussed he wants to pretend not only that he is an expert but that he
    is better than others he deep down feels inferior to.

    Why not cut the passive aggressive act snit?
    It's worn out and you aren't fooling anyone.

    He thinks he is, that's why he does it.

    Thanks for joining the increasing list of the regulars with a tech
    background who post here, calling snit out for the BS he wrote about
    me. I do appreciate it.


    I enjoy and learn from FTR and your posts.
    Both of you are obviously highly skilled and technical.

    Thanks man. I know we're both just pixels on a screen, but as you seem to know, there's actually a person behind the screen. :)

    I agree with what you wrote, btw. FtR, And Apd are peers of mine. They are both perfectly capable of not only understanding me, but potentially schooling me in more than one area of tech to boot.:)

    They are the very thing Snit so badly wishes he was. Not only are both of them actually peers and respected by default in that arena, they're also
    what I'd call an elder peer; they *do* know more about some aspects of tech than I'll ever learn. Snit can't become a peer likely in my lifetime because he hasn't put the time in, and from the looks of things, never will.

    Productive and Snit aren't even distant cousins.



    I too have learned from just about everyone in the group except for snit.
    Even DB posts interesting material at times. I found his recently posted link to email header
    deciphering interesting.
    Snit's posts are nothing more than pablum puke from an infant and every thread he pokes his pointy
    nose into he tries to create chaos because he is incapable of sitting back quietly and learning
    something new. Snit needs to be the center of attention all the time.

    You're not only putting words in my mouth, but, you're also making some
    batshit crazy seriously, crazy, assumptions while you do so. I said
    that a six year old file system, isn't "new".

    LOL! He really is sorta clueless.

    As you've learned, because several people have stepped in and corrected
    you, you have been wrong about my knowledge of cloning, from the jump.
    And these efforts to be insulting are worthless Snit. You have hundreds
    of people who've voiced their opinions concerning you, as well as
    documenting how you behave towards others online. Especially when
    you've been caught, as you have been (again), telling a porkie.

    What common file systems are newer? It
    is not like apps which get updated significant year by year.

    funny snit, must be an echo in here, because that's almost verbatim
    word for word what I wrote to you about your claim that Apples file
    system was 'new'. It's six fucking years old, it hasn't been 'new' in a
    long long time. The fact it's the latest file system offered by Apple
    doesn't make it 'new'. Age is still age, regardless.

    And, of course, you saw how he was lost on the idea of a file copy not >>>> taking any signifiant room, even for a 10 GB file.

    Heh, of course, you realize that multiple people have stepped into the
    conversation now, and not a single person with a tech background here
    has backed what you wrote about the subject, a single time. Instead,
    they've corrected you. FtR flat out told you that you were wrong, more
    than once. Kelly busted you, SC went into greater detail picking apart
    what I wrote, practically highlighting all of the things you didn't
    understand

    You are, as I said before, writing from your asshole concerning me.
    Hoping to make some kind of sale.


    It seems to me when snit misreads a post and as such his reply is
    incorrect he just triples down on his error rather than admitting he is
    in error. Then he adds in some "it's ok to be wrong and I don't judge my
    opponent" BS as some sprinkles on the ice cream.

    That's *exactly* what he pulls, yes. It's what he did when he accused me of having a copy of the floodbot. He really considers himself quite the master of the english language.
    Which is ironic when you consider that he has demonstrated a severe reading comprehension problem and continues to do so.

    With the floodbot accusation, he misread one of my replies. He got
    completely lost. Ftr,Apd, and myself all called him out and explained
    why/how he was wrong. Instead of taking our solid advice and apologizing, he doubles down on it. Tells all of us that he knows my intentions better than
    I do. According to snit, what all of us, along with another GC on the same job all agreed with what I wrote, and they explained why. Snit pretty much ignored everything that was written and, well, you've seen my efforts to get him to apologize.


    Normal, stable people admit their mistakes, learn from them and move on.
    That's how life is.
    Only the true self centered lunatics, like snit, are unable to behave like decent people behave.
    I've never encountered anyone quite like snit. It's a very uniquely bad, personal character flaw
    that he has.

       Gremlin:
         -----
         So you don't realize he isn't making sense? I'll make this
         easy for you. How would a system let you think you copied
         a file from point a to point b, but somehow, the copy in
         point b is actually just the differences between the
         copies, except that there aren't any differences between
         them until you make a change to the original or the
         duplicate one.
         -----

    The idea of a copy not being a "real" copy made no sense to him. And what >>>> differences when you copy the file? When you copy it has no
    differences...
    though of course you can change each file (even though in the background >>>> they
    are the same). He had no clue what was being talked about.

         -----
         Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied
         file isn't really a copy, it's an incremental backup (only
         the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
         a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was
         being copied. So, how is it just copying over changes you
         havent even made yet?
         -----

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then
    copying
    changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was just
    completely
    lost on the topic.

         -----
         If I copy file a from location one to location two; it
         should be a complete copy. It can't track differences and
         just save those yet, I haven't gone back and made any
         changes to the original.
         -----

    And here he made a VERY direct claim that the copied file should be a
    "complete copy". No. it is just a pointer to the same file. Not a
    "complete
    copy". He did not understand the concept.

         -----
         You seem confused here, Snit, but, I'm always interested

    FromTheRafters 'knows his stuff' and it seem he doesn't agree with you.
    As I said before, I know next to nothing about this subject, so cannot
    make a judgement call.  It's only mildly interesting to me as I've got
    LOADS of free space!

    I think that there is a language barrier. He most likely thinks in code
    (direct hardware access) so a copy literally means a copy. In a userland

    Is that not, more-or-less, what Snit said on the ASC forum?

    Perhaps what he meant to say. :)

    Here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255032853

    What is your take of what 'etresoft' then had to say?

    Etresoft's answer invited animosity.

    "Your reply is unusual, and curiously so. It is possible that your
    question was sincere. But there does seem to be some malicious activity
    in this thread, so I won't reply again. If your question was sincere,
    then I wish you good luck and caution you to never trust people on the internet. You never know when stalkers are lurking. Well, almost never."

    Are you, FTR, up to engage 'etresoft' in conversation about this?

    No, and I object to the 'up to' reference -- I am simply uninterested.

    I'd love to see how long snit would last in the local pub watching football on the big screens.
    Some drunk mountain of a man would stuff snit into the urinal and flush him. However, I do suspect
    snit identifies as female so even a 1.7m tall, 45kg girl would stuff him head first into the loo
    and pull the chain.

    That's why he's housebound. He doesn't dare to leave the house, even with his care bear safely tucked under his arm. The world is a scary place for people with his condition.

    Snit's in the FA phase of the FAFO cycle. If/when it transitions to the FO phase, David and I will have something in common: We'll both be watching from the sidelines, not doing a single thing to interfere.

    Gremlin has a challenge with the idea that six year old file system is newer
    than the one Apple used starting in... 1986? Not sure. Around then. They did
    update it later, but not completely redo it.

    LOL! He really is sorta clueless. What common file systems are newer? It is
    not like apps which get updated significant year by year.

    And, of course, you saw how he was lost on the idea of a file copy not taking
    any signifiant room, even for a 10 GB file.

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older drives
    strategies had that part of that feature. Within a volume, making a
    copy meant merely making another path to the same resource on disk --
    not even a new file gets created in that case even though you get a
    'new icon' in your user interface.

    That is what I am talking about. APFS does that. HFS/HFS+ does not.

    Making a copy to another volume
    caused creation of an actual new complete file. Modifying the 'copy' in
    the aforementioned 'new path' scenario would cause a file to actually
    be created with the modifications and the two files would then be
    different.

    Of course.

    I know for a fact that Gremlin is/was aware of this as it was discussed
    before, so he could not have been 'lost' as you suggest.

    When I spoke of APFS making copies on the same volume the way you just
    described he jumped in to disagree and spout nonsense.

    Gremlin:
    -----
    So you don't realize he isn't making sense? I'll make this
    easy for you. How would a system let you think you copied
    a file from point a to point b, but somehow, the copy in
    point b is actually just the differences between the
    copies, except that there aren't any differences between
    them until you make a change to the original or the
    duplicate one.
    -----

    The idea of a copy not being a "real" copy made no sense to him. And what
    differences when you copy the file? When you copy it has no differences... >> though of course you can change each file (even though in the background they
    are the same). He had no clue what was being talked about.

    -----
    Is he making any sense to you there, David? your copied
    file isn't really a copy, it's an incremental backup (only
    the changes) of the original; except that well, you issued
    a file copy command, you didn't modify the file as it was
    being copied. So, how is it just copying over changes you
    havent even made yet?
    -----

    He denied you could have a copy that wasn't "really" a copy. And then copying
    changes you have not made? None of that is coherent. He was just completely >> lost on the topic.

    -----
    If I copy file a from location one to location two; it
    should be a complete copy. It can't track differences and
    just save those yet, I haven't gone back and made any
    changes to the original.
    -----

    And here he made a VERY direct claim that the copied file should be a
    "complete copy". No. it is just a pointer to the same file. Not a "complete >> copy". He did not understand the concept.

    -----
    You seem confused here, Snit, but, I'm always interested
    in learning something new. So, which file systems
    specifically are doing this on file copy commands?
    -----

    And then I let him know I was speaking of APFS... and he pretended I was
    saying this was unique to APFS. He just could not understand anything about >> the topic.

    Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    Of course. And the video I pointed him to showed him that... but it was not >> new to me. I merely showed him that because I figured a visual would be
    better. But he was the one who was lost about this... as shown by his own
    words.

    Oops! I've missed a video, eh?

    I was very close to right. He is pretending I did not know what I showed him and he mocked me for and clearly did NOT understand.

    I suppose it is possible Gremlin focused more on his need to attack and insult and brag than he did tech info... but either way, he presented himself as

    "agree to disagree" with everyone who wrote about the subject, all
    without, having to admit he was wrong when he jumped the gun and
    mistakenly assumed I didn't know what cloning was until Snit arrived.
    That's really what he wanted people to think!


    Snit's gone off the rails. His behavior as of late, has become quite
    loony. I hope he gets his medication dosage adjusted because something
    has gone amok.

    He's doing the same thing with that discussion that he did when he was asked about the floodbot story. At no point did he ever admit he'd done anything wrong. All the time, he continued to partially quote me and provide his
    opinion about what I meant; completely ignoring myself, Ftr, And Apd as he
    did so.

    He's literally doing the same thing here, practially following the same
    script.

    I think that there is a language barrier. He most likely thinks in code
    (direct hardware access) so a copy literally means a copy. In a userland
    GUI menu or drag 'n' drop functionality (or perhaps even a CLI command)
    it is a request that underlying file and disk management system software
    handles.

    In this case someone with editing permissions opens a file for editing
    and instead gets a clone (not a copy) in a storage area, not being part
    of the file storage area, as a 'working copy' to view. If an edit is
    made (the point I think he was making) only then will the difference
    data be something to store in a way similar to some incremental backup
    strategies; a 'delta' is formed with the accumulated change data.

    Is that not, more-or-less, what Snit said on the ASC forum?

    Here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255032853

    Hmm, nope, it's not. I found two posts from Snit on that thread, neither of which provide any specific details; both are vague and somewhat useless. The
    OS Snit is writing about is six years old. He should have a solid
    understanding of how it works, not the vague one he writes about below,
    David.

    To make things a little more complex, from what I understand the newer APFS (Apple File System) does some things to make file management more efficient, but it can be confusing. Say you create a 10 GB file. You copy it to change
    it but keep an original. The new one takes up almost no space... but will
    have the changes. If you delete one or the other of the 10 GB files, you get back very little space. Not sure if there is a way to know how much you do
    get back.

    The edited bit is not going to iCloud... unless you have the file stored
    there. It is just that the local files on the same volume maintain info on changes from the "original".

    Neither of which is addessing what we've been chatting about here, David.

    And as you said, FTR does know his stuff, and he backs what *I* wrote about
    it, going so far as to flat out tell Snit that he's wrong, AND, I do know
    what the fuck I'm writing about. The tech is not unique to Apple, wasn't invented by Apple, has already been in use for years in one way shape or
    form for decades longer than that file system has been use, let alone
    existed.

    He said that Gremlin was lost on the whole idea of a 'copy' not taking
    up storage space ... I said he was not. As far as which Apple
    filesystem uses it and when, I couldn't care any less. Copy on write is
    well known in the fast storage realm.

    And FTR replied with this:

    You are wrong there. It is/was well known that even many older drives strategies had that part of that feature. Within a volume, making a
    copy meant merely making another path to the same resource on disk --
    not even a new file gets created in that case even though you get a
    'new icon' in your user interface. Making a copy to another volume
    caused creation of an actual new complete file. Modifying the 'copy' in
    the aforementioned 'new path' scenario would cause a file to actually
    be created with the modifications and the two files would then be
    different.

    I know for a fact that Gremlin is/was aware of this as it was discussed
    before, so he could not have been 'lost' as you suggest. Fact is, you
    can see this happening if you copy a large file to the same and
    different volumes and note the difference in time to complete the task.

    From there, David, your bestie snit went into revise, spin, and shake for damage control mode.

    Please will you post again? TIA

    Sure. Here is the original text:

    A shame you cannot even try to learn from what you read. But this is a
    good chance to educate you. Here is a video example:

    https://youtu.be/fd9X6Tg3XwQ

    Hopefully that helps you.

    My prediction: you will pretend you already knew this and then jump to
    some nonsense about how I must have meant from one volume to another or
    some other nonsense BS to try to protect your ego. I hope you prove me
    wrong. ------

    I was very close to right. He is pretending I did not know what I
    showed him and he mocked me for and clearly did NOT understand.

    FromTheRafters 'knows his stuff' and it seem he doesn't agree with
    you. As I said before, I know next to nothing about this subject, so
    cannot make a judgement call. It's only mildly interesting to me as
    I've got LOADS of free space!

    I suppose it is possible Gremlin focused more on his need to attack and
    insult and brag than he did tech info... but either way, he presented
    himself as being ignorant of this information.

    The more important thing, though, is the tech info, and the video shows
    it clearly. Let me know if you have any questions.

    That video puts everything into perspective!

    Snit didn't create it. And, it backs what I already wrote about the subject.
    :)

    Not what snit tried to roll coal on you over, but what I told you about it.

    THANK YOU, Snit! :-D

    LOL!

    You do realize that you're thanking him, in public, for a hand job, right?

    You asked for FtRs take. You said he knows his stuff. Here's what wrote: Message-ID: <uaj6pk$1b1kc$1@dont-email.me>

    Are you sure you should be thanking Snit for misleading you? The videos he shared don't even back what he told you, the first time around. You know, before he had to start making revisions due to my replies about it. He
    filled you full of shit, Why are you thanking him for doing that?


    May I suggest that you post it onto the ASC forum thread so that other
    folk may be able understand too? You could do so in response to
    'etresoft' and ask if he agrees. Thanks if you do.

    LOL! Why are you still after that author? They didn't do you any harm.
