The thing is, that it was *not* me who posted the collection that began
this thread, a certain rsmith5039@aol.com (RSmith5039) did that without my
knowledge. I obviously can't police the Internet, even Bill Gates can't,
so I don't even try.

You misquoted me by taking out the crucial part out of my statement. The
complete statement says that some people make unqualified statements about
things that they are ill equipped for to judge.

>Why must you be so negative?

I am not negative, I am merely reacting to ongoing harassment. 

You approached me to work together, I put forward my conditions for a
joint project, you took offense, insulted me (and praised me at the same
time, for that matter), I cut off all connections on my end, and asked you
to do the same on your end.

The harassment ought to have stopped right there.
