interesting twist, U calling me a liar. and you feel certain of this because...? ---because i refuse to share the PROOF/the RESULTS of my first hand courageous investigation with you simply because you ask me to hand it over to you at no cost or risk to you, of expenditure of your time or your effort for it? you too busy making easy wall street money or something to break a nail or bust a head or two for first hand hard facts? i'm supposed to break my word, my basic tenet of living in the truth because you are lazy? spineless? too busy? you wish to rely upon easily acquirable hearsay to buttress what you already wish to be the comforting answers rather than hold your own one on one discussions with those in both hardware and software creation/implementation/replacement and repair industries instead of settle for distillations of reports by the yourdons and the norths and the robert rubins of the power generation industry? you miss the point, ounce! if i did furnish you 'my proofs' which i have regardless of your belief in the validity of my steadfast avowals, my proofs would still be 'hearsay' and not even admissible in a court of law. you simply must take the individual responsibility and the time out of whatever you are too busy doing to personally seek out, formulate the questions without prejudice to the answers you want to hear, and go get your own proofs first hand. there isn't anyone on this board whose 'proof' is ultimately good enough for you. that is fact. just for the sake of discussion, let me ask this academic question of this thread: using simple words, what is/are ANYONE's individual, litmus truth tests? i'll share some of my litmus tests if others will. this could prove to be 'helpful' and possibly even hopeful

(better edited previous post herein follows) interesting twist, U calling me a liar. and you feel certain of this because...? ---because i refuse to share the PROOF/the RESULTS of my first hand courageous investigation with you simply because you ask me to hand it over to you at no cost or risk to you, of expenditure of your time or your effort for it? you too busy making easy wall street money or something to break a nail or bust a head or two for first hand hard facts? i'm supposed to break my word, my basic tenet of living in the truth because you are lazy? spineless? too busy? you wish to rely upon easily acquirable hearsay to buttress what you already wish to be the comforting answers rather than hold your own one on one discussions with those in both hardware and software creation/implementation/replacement and repair industries ? you prefer to stake your life and your livelihood on second hand distillations and summaries from the yourdons'? the dick mills'? the norths'? the robert rubins' of the power generation industry? you miss the point that may save your life, ounce! if i did furnish you 'my proofs' *which i have regardless of your belief in the validity of my steadfast avowals,--- ---my proofs would still be 'hearsay!' NOT even admissible in a court of law. you simply must take the individual responsibility and make the time for, by taking it out of whatever the heck it is that you are too busy doing in the first place! to personally acquire your own proof/s first hand is only going to be "good enough..." 1) identify and make appointments with power generation doers, both hardware creators, and software writers and the installers and the repair personnell. these are the 4 legs of the '3 legged milking stool' i/we interviewed 2)formulate the questions without prejudice to the answers you want to hear, 3)ask your questions, 4)listen without prejudice to their replies, 5) go out and make the necessary adjustments for your personal survival. in otherwords, bill, get off your ass and go get your own proofs* first hand.** there isn't anyone on this board whose 'proof' is ultimately good enough for you. that is fact. and that is the way it 'should be.' just for the sake of discussion, let me ask this academic question of this thread: using simple words, what is/are ANYONE's individual, litmus truth tests? i'll share some of my litmus tests if others will. this could prove to be 'helpful' and possibly even hopeful
