SUO: Re: SUOP Topic :> Definition Of Defect
Dear Mr. Jawbrey,
Every once in a while, I feel the urge to give you my best friendly advice.
Since you requested that I do not write to you personally but through this
list, I'm indulging in your delusional ways, although this is probably not
the best thing I could do to help you. I've even resubscribed to the list
for the occasion. I think this message suggests a constructive
methodological move on the side of this group.
Patient says:
>In this usage, a defect is analogous to a symptom rather
>than a cause,
Do you think that your 'contributions' are symptoms or causes of the useless
grab bag of utter nonsense that this list has become?
>and so one is able to address real defects
>in much the same way that one treats real symptoms, long
>before uncovering their True Cause (Vera Causa), if ever.
It's good that you speak about symptoms, it's odd that you don't recognize
your condition as the vera causa of the dump you have made of this place.
>On the down side, remedies that do not address the cause are
>likely to give only "fast, temporary symptomatic relief", as
>they blurb, and so the corrective actions that are chosen on
>the basis of partial knowledge are likely to need repetition.
I don't know what's your history, something you seem to be very interested
in unlike most people in the world who give a shit about your drinking tea
or watching Startrek on a friday night. 'Fast, temporary symptomatic relief'
is what you are doing with your posts, as you remark, that requires
repetition and in this case this is the very source of exhaustion of this
group's effort.
The cure is elsewhere: start a weblog (really do it). Maybe IEEE will be
willing to provide the webspace for the sake of this group (this is pretty
much what it does with this list anyway). This will give you what you need
and will relieve the rest of us. People who have feelings for you will
cherish your weblog and read it on a daily basis. it won't be spammed by
these mean party poopers with messages relating to the intended purpose of
this group or with notes from people who do not understand you or just want
to kill democracy in the egg by repetetively asking you to lower the debit
of your post or to make them substantial.
Best,
Pierre
