RS> Nope, *HE* used that particular word in the original question
RS> *YOU* asked him a long time ago. AND its dead fucking obvious
RS> that YOU didnt even PC on the very clear example of a completely
RS> unambiguous breach of 'the specs' on the date problem, EVEN THO

RS> that causes a non serious problem for a single node is something
RS> that its appropriate to PC on. In fact you are faking away like
RS> mad on that because you clearly had enough sense not to do that.

PE> The main reason I chose to not PC was because I realised I was
PE> allowed to just bin the entire message if it was out of spec.

RS> More porkies, you said to Bob that you changed your code
RS> to allow for it. Either THAT story or THIS one is a porkie.

PE> I did?  I'm not sure what you're referring to here, I was
PE> unlikely to be discussing low-level Tobruk code with Bob.

You did, just in the last couple of weeks or so on that date specifically.
Pretty certain it was in AVT, should be easy to search for too. Corse its
also possible you said that too cryptically and thats not what you meant.

PE> For efficiency reasons I bypassed all checking of the date in
PE> my more recent versions of Tobruk.  Except when writing to the
PE> messagebase. And then when my routine finds a bad date, it still
PE> prints it out as before, and then can choose whether it calls Paul
PE> Markham's routine to try to get a date out of it, or simply bins it.

Says nothing useful about that question of choosing to bin instead of PC tho.

RS> AND as Nugent says, thats positively counter productive

PE> Poor old Rod.  What Nugent actually says
PE> is exactly what I have said all along.

Fraid not, and since you are just going into your usual juvenile
mode, I wont be bothering to continue to discuss it with you.

RS> and is MUCH more likely to see them tell you to go and fuck
RS> yourself whereas they may well be quite happy to fix a wart
RS> if you have the sense to politely point out what the problem
RS> is rather than belt them in the face with a dead fish first off.

PE> I did.

Like hell you did, you waved around a threat of a PC to
the ONLY person you could conceivably PC and didnt even manage
to get that right, you couldnt have even PCed him anyway.
