I'll tell you exactly why Bill has a bug up his arse about John. Many,
many years ago, Bill went to John for a job. Bill is admittedly pretty
good at electronics, but he also has a *terrible* attitude problem and
prefers to spend as much time as possible thumbing through discredited
Marxist theory (like as if it's worth anyone's time to read that crap).

The people I've worked for and with don't seem to think that I've got an attitude problem, and the closest I've got reading
"Marxist Theory" are books like "Capital in the 21st Century" and "the Spirit Level".

Fortunately, John saw through Bill at the last moment and declined to hire
him. Bill's never forgiven John for that bullet-dodging decision.

On the contrary what John did to get up my nose was to copy my private e-mail - which wasn't applying for a job but responding to
an open request by John on s.e.d. that had asked for sub-contract assistance - to Jim Thompson, who promptly posted a boast on
s.e.d. that he'd saved John from making the terrible mistake of having anything to do with me.
Well you didn't seem to like Jim Thompson very much either as I remember.
He thought that I was a dangerously anti-American leftist and claimed to have reported me to FBI about it. I'd used some of his integrated circuits, and found them useful, but less than user-friendly, so we didn't think all that highly of one another. I saw him more as a nut-case than somebody worth actively disliking.
John Larkin is a different kind of nut-case, which means that I object to some of the things he says at fairly regular intervals, but the dislike is for what he says - he does sort-of-useful stuff, and gets paid for it. The sort of useful stuff I do is unpaid, and worth even less.
This thread would likely be three times bigger if JT were still around.
I've had it happen to me (nothing to do with anything here) that someone forwarded an email in a context different from what I
intended.
Anyway I think it's now clear why you don't like JL and that it's never going to change so I'll leave it there.
