I used to follow comp.programming.threads, which 10 years ago was a
great newsgroup. Traffic was falling before aminer arrived: the
newsgroup was quite thread-techy and interest was shifting to higher
level task-centred programming and parallelization, which the newsgroup
didn't really cater for. It quickly died after he arrived.
 
He is actually a serial multi-poster, with identical postings to
multiple groups. I believe he continually multi-spams
comp.programming.threads, comp.programming and one or two pascal
newsgroups, and I have noticed that he has now turned his attention to C
and C++ newsgroups. They may be a harder nut for him to crack.
 
His main feature is that he has no interest in getting responses to his
postings - he just ignores them - or indulging in conversation about
them. He just seems to have an urge he can't control to vent his ego.

So true.
 
I just figure that all managers majored in Business and that Business
majors don't have to learn how to multiply fractions together, but
instead spend most of their time finger painting.
 
In reality, I think it is a big part of cooperate culture to bid as low
as it takes to secure work, looking only afterward at the budget they've
allowed for their promises. Because it seems, it is OK to lie and
promise something you can't deliver, get the check, and then make
excuses. There doesn't seem to be repercussions.
 
Some other silly managers, actually do believe in squeezing water out of
rocks.... "We use Agile now, we're suppose to be getting more done
faster", "We have weekly meetings now, we should be getting more done
because you guys can caliberate."...."You're a genious, you'll get it
done by tomorrow somehow"...and you are absolutely right in that they
make their business fail. I've seen shut down after shutdown as a result
of the "water out of rocks" management.

I have chosen to troll filter/ignore all subthreads containing the

So, I won't be able to see or respond to any such messages

Hello,
 
 
My post titled "About C and C++" was my last post here in this newsgroup.
 
 
Thank you,

Technically, it wasn't, since this post came later.
 
Also, as has been pointed out, this is not a "forum". It's a newsgroup.
