Long time users of Omega List know Earl very well:
He is a specialist of bitching and is not aTradetation user.
He only owns a Supercharts version, and seems to not understand the
subtilities of easy language.
In his language, he calls this bugs an reports them to Omega, that opened a
special dustbin for him ( big model).
I have again replied to one of his stupid messages about a so called error
that was very simple to explain with the maxbars back setting when using
exponential averages.
Also, he refers to an old documebt named Omegabug.doc, on which I have spent
a lot of time to explain that there were a lot of bugs in the omegabug.doc
document.
But for bitching people, this is their bible.
Thise interested may search in the archive all posts with bugs in
omegabug.doc, under my name.
None of the so called bugs that I demonstrated to be wrong were proven as
true bugs after.
This does not mean that TS2000i is free of errors or programming
optimization needs, or things like this dueto the complexity of the software
and Windows environment stangeness ( for example, Windows european versions
and Windows 2000 products beta on the same machine).
This is also the reason of the existence of service packs.
Now, in a nutshell, when you see Earl Adamy as a contributor,you may store
three types of messages:
-Those promoting the state of art and well known software "ensign"
-Those telling how ugly Omega is (and TS, and Bill Cruz and so on), their
software bugged, and how the mistread the great supercharts programmer that
he is.
-Those explaining what is a difference with an alpha version and a beta
version.
To spare room on your HD, just keep one copy of each: It's enough, they all
say the same.
There is an exception: Sometime , when he is tired of bitching, he may
produce some sounding good advices unrelated to the tree obsessional topics
above.
But seldom than never, and we may explain this by some fatigue rather than
an habit.
Unfortunately for us, most of the veeerrry active contributors (?) to this
list are specialist of carbon copy of their own obsessions.
Due to Earl's grand age, I'm seriously considering to write to the director
of the geriatric section where he is supposed to live , and propose him to
replace his Email account and Ensign / SC softare by a permanent access to
Disney Channel.
I suppose that after a few days to adapt , he will enjoy this more than
trading related topics, and will spend a lot of time to write to
Goofy and Donald Duck...
Good for him, good for the normal readers of the list, after...
(I rely on all of you to avoid to tell him that Disney's characters are not
for real).
Rgds,
PO
