“Trust, but Verify.™”
That's exactly why I distrust everything you say. Because every time I have verified anything you've said; it has not just been slightly wrong, but rather, substantially wrong.
Very often so wrong that it seems more like deliberate, malicious misdirection than simple-minded error or dumb misunderstanding. Whatever combination of malignancies drives your continuing need to post always perpetually pointless, usually useless, habitually harmful, and sometimes serious malevolent advice; it does this place harm.
It seems that most regulars here have seen you for the ignoble, thick-skinned, self-deluding conman that you are; but I wish more of them would challenge you more often; so that the less regular, and new members are less likely to be taken in by the particular brand of meaningless, techno-babble flimflam that is the hallmark of your long con.
You recently, unjustifiably, told another forum member to "Go away"; I now, with long and strong justification, invite you to do exactly that:
Go away and do not come back!
With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

It’s funny because “trust but verify” is one of the most profoundly stupid things anyone has ever said; at least since, say, “Let them eat cake.”
The entire and only point—the very definition—of trust is that it requires no verification. Verifying means you did not trust. The Orwellian twists of language we endure are one thing. That some eMbr@Ce®ª¡™ them—nay, glom onto them—is something else, all together.
IT’S SOMETHING ELSE!
Update: fixed the punchline… :P
