	Reality is subjective.   For instance, try to prove that I exist.

: I guess it should come as no suprise that you have totally missed the issue
: here as well.  -Perhaps- the statement that this is all about is one -you-
: made in response to the question above which read:

: 		perhaps I should make a liar out of you
:	:: [ deleted stuff ]  ::
:
	I am not going to argue. 


: >: 'yes' someone else did do it and here is where it is.
: >:
: >	The answer was what I gave.

: -NO- it wasn't.  The answer was 'yes, someone else -has- been working on
: a driver.  His name is Steve and here is and where it can be found.'  That is
: the reality of the situation.

: The fantasy is your response 'perhaps I should make a liar out of you'.  You
: tell me how news of Steve's driver makes a liar out of the original poster.
:
	You are being insistently (sp?) boring, aren't you.

	OK... I hope techincal reading is more your speed.

: I would be glad to, but this is not a technical issue.

	Obviously.

: I get tired of the same thing, like your promises of the QIC driver.  Deliver
: it or dry up and blow away.
:
	Your having a tough time with quailty control...
	I can tell.  You might consider writing the driver
	yourself... just so you might call me silly.

: -Man- that one is hard to pass up, but it is just tooooo easy...

: The only reason I did -not- put your name in my kill file was because several

: responsible for it.
:
	Thanks sure is a laughable point.... 

	I am the message moinitor.. please don't post a lie
	or I will be forced to tell the world that you are
	a bad person... boo hoo... please don't do this...
	I am the message monitor....
	
	Is that your song?

: I think this is the end of this thread.  You have admitted you had -nothing-
: to do with the QIC driver Steve wrote.  That's good enough for me.  I can
: always throw up your post if this issue comes up again.
:
	hahaha... please do it now... don't wait... 
	everyone is already watching.... please.. doit.

: I will not post again on this topic.  For the benifit of the rest of readers
: of this news group I ask that you do the same.
:
	I doubt that you won't..

	have a nice day.... Hope it's not raining there!
