Re: Adding keypads to gem p9600

["Roland" <roland@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These guys aren't rough. No one has lost body parts. For the most part they
have become familiar with the most direct ways to annoy each other in the
shortest time span possible. Whenever the boredom becomes unbearable,
someone will toss in a grenade and tempers flare. At first it all seems
immature, shocking, irritating etc., only because you aren't in tune with
the true purpose many have for posting here. It simply is a form of
entertainment in the end. The guys posting here don't need the technical
challenges presented here, like it's another crossword puzzle they get to
work on. They do that all day every day, and for money. They just do this
for fun. An odd sort of fun to be sure, but harmless fun. To each his own.
They aren't trying to impress anyone with technical their prowess, or
improve the industry's image, or anything else that is necessarily "customer
friendly". That only happens accidentally when it happens. If you want to
push a test button, merely mention how much you hate the French or love
Israel and see what you scare up. If you're new to the group RLB has been
having a bit of a tough time lately. I can tell that some hair is starting
to grow again somewhere, so perhaps he will be back to his old self soon
enough. Despite your limited experience, RLB can be quite the gadfly, and
can with great alacrity get many here in a near homicidal rage. They in turn
wish him a rapid and unpleasant trip to the netherworld. You might not like
it here, but that sideshow along with detailed security information is not
on the bill of fare many other places. No amount of scolding or reason is
likely to change the dynamic that keeps the posts coming. For my own reasons
I continue to post, if only to confirm the suspicion many have here that I
am simply too stupid to quit posting.
