  Something perhaps you do not realise is that they are "names" on this list - 
people who may never have met, but who have gotten to know one another very 
well over a lot of years.  Steve is easily the most generous person on this 
list and he does not deserve your arrogance and sarcasm - I have no doubt he 
could wipe the floor with you in the skills department.  He deserves loyalty 
and support - and that is most certainly one of the functions of this list.   

  Please take Mary's advice.

    Given that Steve had trouble maintaining a working computer I presented 
what I thought to be some factual information about one way of maintaining 
effective hardware for technical writing.  

    I had thought that there might be some people on this list that might have 
found the information of benefit.

    What is the function of this list?  Is it to provide resources and 
information to technical writers or is it for whinging and personal abuse?

      Steve could be caustic, opinionated, bull-headed and prickly - traits 
with which you can identify, I do not doubt (Damian Forlani-Brennan).  He was 
also the first in line to help a mate and offer assistance to anyone on this 
list.  He frequently contributed to the discussion and his advise and counsel 
will be missed, as will his unorthodox sense of humor.

      There was no “hidden” message - the evolution to meltdown was glaringly 
obvious to anyone capable of more than skimming across the surface like a water 
spider. Your inability to decipher cause and effect, even when it is pointed 
out to you, may not serve you well in the long run and I enthusiastically 
recommend sudoku to stimulate your skill at connecting the dots in more than 
one narrow direction.  Empathy is another matter altogether, and short of a 
strong dose of clinically administered ecstasy, I doubt there is much that can 
be done in that quarter.  Assuming that you may need help with a bona fide 
cryptic reference, see  http://ecstasy.org/books/e4x/e4x.ch.10.html and 
http://ecstasy.org/books/e4x/e4x.ap.01/e4x.ap.01.098.html.

         I am well familiar with the landscape in which we work (thank you very 
much Christine Kent) and re-reading Steve's post failed to reveal any hidden 
messages.  I don't often have much to add to the discussion, but there are 
times you just have to respond.  I stand by my previous post.  
         
        Looking forward to my time finally coming :)
