I won't argue with you. : 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. : > : >: :: [non-issue] :: : > : >: If you did I would be intrested to hear -this- story. : >: : > Fine email me..

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....
