Hmm Thats funny I am a Wide Area Network engineer and I find it difficult
to

understand how anyone could do my job without an Understanding of
Electronics.

Who said that I didn't have an understanding of electronics?

 

[Spanky]

network engineer, eh?? wow!! impressive ...

so what kinda engineering r u talking about?? cable pulling? crimping
connectors? cutting holes in walls?? ok ok ok .. just pulling ur leg

About 50/50 between designing and implementing WAN's and some larger LAN's

mate .. u gotta understand that using big high faluting labels to describe
urself is a very dangerous thing to do in a NG like this ... some of the
folks here are not as easily impressed as i m ...so u gotta expect some
flak if u continue to big-note urself ...

I'm not trying to big note myself, just stating the facts. (and a few
opinions)

i mean.. it is well and good to understand what a routing table does and on
the basis of that... call urself a network engineer .. but u do realise
that some of the guys here not only understand routing tables .. they also
understand the electronics which go into making the circuitry which store
the routing table .... and if they r so inclined .. they could probably
make u a complete router??

And those are very clever people indeed and probably have a better
understanding of routers than I do.

in my mind .. such folk are more worthy of the

title "network engineer"

I look at it a little differently, such people have two distinct skill sets,
one of them is the electrical and electronic side and the other is the
application or networking side. I'm sure that most people who are capable
of building a router from scratch would have no trouble using it but at the
same time there would have to be a lot of people out there who are capable
of assembling a router by following a schematic and have absoluteley no idea
on how to use it!

 

[Spanky]

Well as someone who is not ashamed of what I post I am now only going to

hold you in greater contempt than before especially when phil posted this
pretty well as a direct response to you posting what could be considered
offensive remarks directed at him.
In fact I should point out that Actually Posting someones home phone number
is far far worse than someone posting your Christian Name and the suburb he
lives in.

Phil could have posted a lot more detail as in less than 5 Minutes on the
Internet I have your full Name, Your street address, your home phone Number
and the name of your employer (not being a creep like yourself I will not
post them here).

Just remember that it was Phil that decided to ring me. I've also noticed
that Phil has decided not to respond to this thread since shortly after he
phoned me, if Phil is so right and I am so wrong why isn't he defending
himself?

did you enjoy growing up where the streets look Silver ?

I have that CD too. I didn't grow up in Croydon, I've only been here for
around 2 years.

About 50/50 between designing and implementing WAN's and some larger LAN's

mate ... lots of people design and implement WANs and large LANs and they
don't strut around preening and calling themselves "network engineers" ...
they r not quite so interested in the job title ..

I'm not trying to big note myself, just stating the facts. (and a few
opinions)

_shrug_ u may think u r "just stating the facts" but to some ppl it sure
sounds like big-noting

And those are very clever people indeed and probably have a better
understanding of routers than I do.

it may surprise u to know that such ppl do not go around telling enyone who
would listen that they r network engineers..

in my mind .. such folk are more worthy of the

I look at it a little differently, such people have two distinct skill

the

yeah.. and 2 skill sets beats one skill set any day, eh? these ppl
usually also have a 3rd skill set .. that of humility ....but than that has
nothing to do with technical competency so i'll leave that one out of the

application or networking side. I'm sure that most people who are capable
of building a router from scratch would have no trouble using it but at
the same time there would have to be a lot of people out there who are
capable of assembling a router by following a schematic and have
absoluteley no idea on how to use it!

just like there r ppl out there who can design and implement networks from a
manual and do not really understand how the bits really work...

i know .. i know .. there is always someone else who will do the dirty work
of "understanding" or in the case of the circuit board assemblers ..
somebody else to use it

all i m saying is .... just relax when u r in a NG like this ... there r
some folks here who have no patience for someone who tries to act all
smarty-pants when in fact there r clearly cracks in the facade ...

there is nothing wrong in having good self-esteem .. but be careful not to
fall into the trap of thinking u r a big fish in a big pond the pond is
bigger than u think .. and there r some seriously bad predators around

i probably have no right telling u the things i have in the last coupla
posts ... like i said previously .. it is ur life and good luck to u

Just remember that it was Phil that decided to ring me.

You say that Like it was a problem - it seems fair enough to me that if you
are suffering misunderstanding through a medium like writing (which is and
can be rather limited without a lot of care) that it probably is a good Idea
to talk directly.

However Contrary to the claim you have just made you were the one who Made a
post that suggested you wished to talk to Phil on the Phone ie:

Or was that a Criminal threat of Violence ?

Reflecting on that further I remembering that you asked for Phils
Number/Address so you could contact him The fact that he did not post it on
the Newsgroup but rather chose to take the discussion offline and ring you
directly would tell anyone with half (or even less) a Brain that Phil did
not wish to have his Addres or Number plastered all over the Newsgroup.
The fact that you subsequently posted Phils Number on this Newsgroup besides
showing what a complete and utter hypocrite you are indicates either one of
two things (or both) :
1) You are not very bright
2) You are a complete and utter Creep

I've also noticed
that Phil has decided not to respond to this thread since shortly after he
phoned me, if Phil is so right and I am so wrong why isn't he defending
himself?

Why does He have to ?
Have you heard of a killfile ? Maybe he has merely decided that you are a
complete and utter waste of time and space.

You seem to keep making yourself look worse and worse without his assistance
Or maybe you are hoping that he will give you another reason to complain
about him to his ISP. If I was in Phils shoes I would have made several
complaints to your ISP by now I note that a number of posters have said how
responsive to complaints optusnet are

Who cares if he is a wanker or not he will prove himself over time...

He already has .....

 

[Richard Freeman]

LAN's

mate ... lots of people design and implement WANs and large LANs and they
don't strut around preening and calling themselves "network engineers" ...
they r not quite so interested in the job title ..

I wonder what he knows about clocking ? Actually I gather that really all
spanky does is plug cards into PCs and install Software I guess he doesnt
have an Austel/Cabling Registration either...

I never could make sense of my last job title my business Card claimed I was
a 'field engineer' I never could figure out if that made me a Farmer or a
Backhoe operator...

_shrug_ u may think u r "just stating the facts" but to some ppl it sure
sounds like big-noting

It is Big noting - especially when you take all of Spankys recent postings
into account. He chased around after Phil being offensive until Phil bit
back then he complained to Phils ISP, now he has realised that Phils Track
record is much more relevant to this Newsgroup than his (Spanky) So he is
trying to puff himself up in an effort to claim some credibility.

it may surprise u to know that such ppl do not go around telling enyone who
would listen that they r network engineers..

Ahh but those people build their credibility by demonstrating their ability
Not attacking other people.

yeah.. and 2 skill sets beats one skill set any day, eh? these ppl
usually also have a 3rd skill set .. that of humility ....but than that has
nothing to do with technical competency so i'll leave that one out of the
eqn

well to be an Engineer requires knowledge in several disciplines

just like there r ppl out there who can design and implement networks from a
manual and do not really understand how the bits really work...

i know .. i know .. there is always someone else who will do the dirty work
of "understanding" or in the case of the circuit board assemblers ..
somebody else to use it

all i m saying is .... just relax when u r in a NG like this ... there r
some folks here who have no patience for someone who tries to act all
smarty-pants when in fact there r clearly cracks in the facade ...

Especially when those Smarty pants go and attack other people who have
demonstrated their expertise - Then try to justify their ignorance .

there is nothing wrong in having good self-esteem .. but be careful not to
fall into the trap of thinking u r a big fish in a big pond the pond is
bigger than u think .. and there r some seriously bad predators around

Look really the best summary is :
If you come on a Newsgroup, make smart arse comments to one of the Posters
then complain to their ISP and publish personal Details about them on the
Newsgroup when they bite back, Then try and big note yourself and Posture
around Do not expect other folk on the Newsgroup to hold you in anything but
the utmost contempt.

i probably have no right telling u the things i have in the last coupla
posts ... like i said previously .. it is ur life and good luck to u
to u

Naah dont worry about it you were pretty well on track.

The fact that you subsequently posted Phils Number on this Newsgroup besides

two things (or both) :
1) You are not very bright
2) You are a complete and utter Creep

Come back to planet Earth Richard. Phil Allison has made a career
out of being rude, obscene and abusive to people on this and other
newsgroups. He spent years doing this - of course some people
are going to get pissed off with it and retaliate.

Why does He have to ?

His modus operandi is to cower into a corner whenever things start
to get too hot for him - like all bullies.

Phil Allison is a nasty piece of work - ask Winfield Hill the author
of "The Art of Electronics" - a world respected text on the subject
in case you don't know it. Check the archives on Google too,
when was it Phil? about 2 years ago?

Send your writ Phil - Clayton Utz are still waiting...? Or don't you

were trying to bully me into submission? Go check Google, your
threat is still there - where is the writ? You're a pussy Phil.

I don't talk to people like you - that's what I pay lawyers for:
Clayton Utz, in Melbourne - they're in the phone book - just

Come back to planet Earth Richard. Phil Allison has made a career
out of being rude, obscene and abusive to people on this and other
newsgroups. He spent years doing this - of course some people
are going to get pissed off with it and retaliate.

There is a difference between retaliation and baiting In fact this whole
thread was started by 'Spanky' Primarily with the intent of Baiting and
otherwise being offensive to Phil thereby removing any moral high ground
that 'Spanky' may have had.
If you choose to bait another person (as 'Spanky' has done in this instance)
and you then cower behind an anonymous handle, post other posters home phone
number and then bignote yourself you should not then be surprised when other
folk hold you in contempt.

His modus operandi is to cower into a corner whenever things start
to get too hot for him - like all bullies.

Well actually Phil usually Fights back (to his detriment) quite
enthusiastically when people attack him.
In fact when you follow the threads back to the beginning this is often what
people object to most about Phil.
I am actually somewhat Surprised that Phil has not fought back especially in
a thread started by a pathetic little worm like 'Spanky' maybe he is
starting to mellow or merely treat 'Spanky' with the contempt he so richly d
eserves.
There are many many points that 'Spanky' has exposed himself on in this
thread that even blind Freddy could find, I am sure any reticence on Phils
part is not due to him feeling in any way put down by 'Spanky'.

Phil Allison is a nasty piece of work - ask Winfield Hill the author
of "The Art of Electronics" - a world respected text on the subject
in case you don't know it. Check the archives on Google too,
when was it Phil? about 2 years ago?

I cannot disagree that Phil sometimes does go over board (IMO) but then this
is Usenet you can Kill file Phil or choose to ignore his Posts if they
bother you.
I think part of the problem often is that when folk are corrected on
Newsgroups (as in real life) they let their ego get in the way and become
offensive and abusive. Unfortunately these 'discussions' then tend to
escalate to the point where abuse is flying left, west and crooked and it
then becomes difficult to find who started the abuse. I found this out early
on when I was starting out on Usenet in a discussion on Power Amplifiers on
aus.hi-fi where I made the mistake of suggesting that a Perreaux 3000b was a
good high performance amplifier (It is) and got soundly told off by all the
Audiophiles on defending myself (on technical grounds) the abuse soon
started and slowly escalated into some serious obscenities with everyone
(myself included) feeling justified on the grounds that 'they started it' in
fact the end of the thread basically turned into an argument on who started
the abuse.

I have to admit that I have been corrected by Phil on a number of occasions
without him resorting to abuse. In fact when I have double checked the
detail I have found that Phil was in fact usually correct, so I have to say
that my direct dealings with Phil have not been all that bad.

Now that Phil has posted some of my info without my consent I have no
problem divulging his phone number, it is 02 9799-8242

**** you're clever. Its not as if Phil is unknown in this NG or the
real world for that matter. Obtaining his phone number is by no means
a big feat, but publishing it on this NG just goes to show how
juvenile _you_ are.
