    Speaking of countering lies, I long ago continually confronted both
    Alan Baker & Snit about their brazen fabrications, where even I had
    to give up as people like Alan Baker have only one purpose on Usenet,
    as you stated.

    Alan Baker is only on Usenet entirely for his own sadistic amusement.

    Snit got filtered out a decade ago so I have completely forgotten about
    him. Alan though is so diabolical that he thinks everyone is like him
    and lie to others in plain view. He accused me not once, but twice of
    lying about how the iOS Calculator behaves, despite me providing visual
    proof to him. He could have very easily checked the behavior himself
    but chose to parrot what Apple said and show his evil intentions once
    again. I no longer give him the time of day.

    Hi badgolferman,

    Ah, Snit. I was so young in those days when I thought Michael Glasser could
    be reasoned with, where I learned 1st hand how incredibly stupid Snit is.

    Remember when he proved all these Apple trolls, including nospam and Jolly Roger and Alan Baker don't know the difference between a Bell & a Watt?

    Since I study the Apple trolls, I wondered why they're soooooo different.
    From experience, it came to me why they're the strange people they are.
    a. None of them have any education
    b. Yet, all of them think they're geniuses
    c. Where, due to survival instincts, they're herd animals to the core

    Take Alan Browne, who swears the walled garden he logs into doesn't exist
    even though he invisibly logs into it every single day of his mortal life.

    Take Chris, who we agree is smarter than most, but even he swears he has a medical-based PhD & yet ridiculed basic immunology terms such as 'vehicle'.

    Take Jolly Roger who swore for years that Apple completely & fully patches older releases when Apple simply never has done so in its entire history.

    Take Hemidactylus who brazenly refutes D-K effects & yet he never read the seminal papers so he has no idea he's left of the first quartile doing so.

    Take Joerg Lorenz who, laughably, claims he knows more than everyone else,
    and yet there isn't a single person that he could possibly know more than.

    Take Your Name who, just as with Joerg, claims everything is worthless, and yet, nothing he ever says isn't worthless - which is his own projection.

    We could take Jolly Roger who was similar to Lewis, Savageduck, Wade
    Garrett, Wolffan, Chris Schram, et al., where they were all herd animals
    who couldn't stand a word being said askance about their God-like Apple.

    Of all those herd animals, I enjoy Jolly Roger's posts the most because he
    is, in my humble opinion, the perfect canonical archetypical Apple owner.

    However, if we take nospam, who was an Apple troll to the core, we finally
    for the first time find someone who actually knew something about Apple products - so much - in fact - that I joke his contract to defend Apple to
    the death no matter what simply had expired after two decades of that ilk.

    Yes, nospam was different - but even he had a lower-than-average IQ since
    all his arguments were the sophomoric type that a fifth-grade bully employs e.g., anything Apple couldn't do was, to him, "not needed" & "not wanted".

    Another way I knew nospam's IQ was low (albeit his was higher than the rest
    of the Apple trolls) was that he too didn't understand what a decibel was.

    At first I wondered how incredible it was that these Apple trolls know
    nothing about anything - for example - Alan Baker knows nothing about BMWs
    nor about racing nor about Usenet headers - and yet - he thinks he does.
    *Why are apologists like Alan Baker so fantastically ignorant?*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/EiNl6hyMBDo/>

    Alan Baker owns a fourth trait that only some of these Apple trolls have,
    which is that his entire purpose on Usenet is his own sadistic amusement.

    Just one article from you or from me contains more value than those five hundred posts from Alan Baker - who invests about five seconds per each.

    Even though it's work for me to add someone to my killfile (as I have to
    edit scripts using regular expressions), I've added the following because
    not only do they add no value when they post - but they subtract value.
    - snit
    - alan baker (aka bodger)
    - joerg lorenz
    - rod speed (aka %, %%, etc.)

    In decades of being on Usenet, which you know I've been on from, oh, even
    the old a.h.r days when Steve and you and I bantered about fixing things,
    I've only had to plonk a single-digit handful of worthless posters.

    One of whom is our Apple troll Alan Baker whose posts lack redeeming value.

    For the record, here is my racing record (at least, as much as DriverDB
    has captured):

    <https://legacy.driverdb.com/drivers/alan-baker/>

    Or there's this:

    <https://speedhive.mylaps.com/profile/MYLAPS-GA-71c2a7ce5b7b4c0a8205cc0b26bf6013>

    Or how about this:

    SCCBC Race Drivers Committee

    Race Drivers Committee Chairman: Alan Baker

    'Membership on the Race Drivers Committee is by invitation only. The
    committee is comprised of some of the best racers in British Columbia.
    Most committee members have won championships in their class while
    others have done consistently well over the years and have proven
    themselves capable of excelling in all race conditions.'

    <https://web.archive.org/web/20230812160632/https://www.sccbc.net/about-sccbc/race-drivers/>


    That last is from my term as chairman of the Race Drivers Committee of
    the Sports Car Club of British Columbia, where I started racing in 2013 (winning Rookie of the Year), and where after only 4 seasons of racing I
    was invited to join the RDC.

    Now none of that means I'm the very best racing driver out there...

    ...but it does pretty clearly show that I do now something about racing.

    Think on that when you consider what else Marion/Andrew/Arlen/...

    ...might be lying about.l
