How so? What I find funny is how Gremlin was so proud he figured this out.
LOL! Heck, for some clients they do not send until you send them... they are
stored in an outbox.

His trolling and lying can be funny... but I wish he would be a decent person
(and funny). Same with Carroll. They use put downs and attacks to try to hide
the fact they are not able to back their views.

I suspect that most folk prefer to answer one post at a time, not deal
with twenty or thirty all at one sitting.

I know you are 'different' and use a 'phone. I NEVER do that; always a
computer.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

Read his last 100 posts. I bet 90 of then are nothing but trolling attacks.

I mostly use a computer. But it is a good point -- my phone app sends in
batches. Less data usage.

No need. I'm well aware that he has nothing good to say about you. :-(

NO! You tell /me/ what it was you did which was 'out of order'.

You obviously did things to have that 'Snit List" drawn up!

It is not just nothing good about me... he rarely has anything else to say.
And, of course, no evidence of his claims.

I did not create such a list.

You said I should apologize for past bad behavior. I am open to doing so, but
I cannot apologize for something you cannot specify.

This will just lead to another Carroll tantrum... he and Sandman used to make
such lists but now he denies it. Like he denies so much else from 2004 or so.

If he offers specific examples I will listen -- if I read the post. I do not
read all of his.

See if he offers to apologize for his nonstop attacks. I bet he will not.

Of course snit didn't write that list. WTF is he on to comment like that?

Anyway, getting back to your question, the only reasonably sure method for eliminating nasty stuff
that might be left on an hdisk is to perform something like a DOD wipe.
