That blockquote came from Kakistocracy's comment, not mine. The misattribution provides yet another example of PatNet going downhill, along with broken links and bizarre replacements of special characters that were correct when posted, and Patrick's decision to prevent people from editing their own comments. So, a comment that was originally written correctly and backed by working links becomes partial gibberish unsupported by anything.

Should we have a going away party?

You're right... strange gremlins here when you try and quote a comment...
There, I "adjusted" it.. Never knew I had to be a software engineer to post.

14 in the last 50 years is an infinitely tiny number. That is exactly the point
CBOEtrader saysDefine many.

@CBOETrader, I have already linked to 14 published examples, and they are of course only a subset of the total. In any event, they exist. @Patrick was claiming, falsely, that they don't exist. It reminds me of when Democrats insisted that voter fraud doesn't exist. All you need is one example, e.g. from Jimmy Carter's book, to prove that something exists. I cited 14, and nobody who looks at the data can seriously doubt there are more.
I replied to your other comment already above.

@CBOETrader - what an exciting life that u must lead to be up at 3:00 A.M. PST to browse PatNet
Says the guy who's up at 2:58 AM PST browsing Patnet.
Folks, you can't make this shit up.
FYI 2:58 PST is 5:58 EST which is where I am located. I normally get up around 4:30-5:00 A.M.
Empty head - meet loud mouth, location New Jersey. Case closed and settled, be happy together.

@joshuatrio - hey sport, forgot to mention one minor detail about my work life.
The last half of my career I worked out of my home, set my own hours, travel schedules etc. for the most part and pretty much did what I wanted to when I wanted to.
No one ever really figured out what I did exactly, right up to the end, how long it took me to do whatever it was I was doing or did and I just kind of showed up here there and everywhere, mostly unannounced.
Can you believe that there was a vicious rumor going around the company that I was a "mole" for the home office and reported back on the comings and goings of my peers, local plant conditions, grievances and such that never made it back to HR etc?

@CBOEtrader - going to guess by the commentary of the last few weeks there may be a tiny bit of dislike towards Moi.

To those looking for the Walrus post/thread.
I removed it this morning due to the graphic stupidity of the comments as well as the total and complete lack of empathy or concern for another living creature on this planet.
