Beware of the Trolls.

Ok, my mistake.  Do you know the difference between "lose it" and "loose it".  Abishur has trouble with that one.

I like Pi

I believe abishur has said he's dyslexic (and has a sense of humor about it) so I'd give him a brake on spelling problems.  Besides, spelling "lose" as "loose" seems too happen a loot on the Internet.  Spell checking is knot always your fiend, since English doesn't have nearly enough Hamming distance between valid words.  I hope abishur doesn't think I'm whinnying, because I'm knot.

Ok, back to pet phrases.  Who besides Abishur says "gotta agree"?

I believe that his most notable catchphrase is "I'm locking this thread." Good luck with spotting that one over here though.

In the wake of the Great Non-Reveal I was half expecting a geek chorus of "I'm Abishur and so's my wife!"

Thankfully no thread locking here.  But we have had an interesting request regarding the other forum's mods.

"It seems some of you have had one on one dealings with the mods, which one would be the most receptive to such a PM?"

This comes from someone who claims to be quite familiar with the history of the RPF, including non-public details of funding the alpha boards, and claims to be familiar with chip fabrication issues, and other behind-the-scenes business dealings "the stories I could tell", and who claims to be familiar with USB and other problem reports, but needs our input on no other issues except our opinions of the other forum's mods.

Is the TO-202 triac mentioned in this thread (even Gert responded!)

the same Hutson TO-202 mentioned in this thread?

I've never claimed to have inside info on the funding of the alpha boards, just saying what I've seen publicly stated and yes I've familiarized myself more with the history since my initial posts and just aren't seeing the things being claimed about them. It may come as a surprise, but there are more places than broadcom that manufacture chips. I've done work in one such place and it gets crazy when any piece of equipment goes down.

I asked for suggestions because I've never real themly done any one on one interaction with them and I'd prefer not to be banned for asking one with a short fuse.

I have no idea if he has the same triac as me. Mine has no markings on it. Why on earth are you trying to push this abishur thing on me?

Sorry, I deleted my duplicated post (I was posting it from a cell phone) and I appearently deleted this new guy Ryan's posts who was saying that

1) TO-202 triacs were rare (which they're not http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en?x=0&y=0&lang=en&site=us&KeyWords=triac+to-202 ), but more to the point I made a typo though frankly looking at the two packages online I honestly can't see a difference between the two.

2) I had (apparently?) made a similar post to one abishur did at around the same time.  To which I commented that he had made a post similar to lameducks and was using lame's favourite phrase right now of "you're a witch", I mean, "you're abishur" ergo by the logic being put forth they must be the same person.
