The old argument. Interesting, though, that modern car engines are much
more reliable than older (simpler) ones.

That reliability doesn't come from the computers, it comes from improved
mechanical engineering and manufacturing.

As a sort of followup to my other post, for anyone still wondering why
everyone hates MX so much, this post is a perfect example. Notice how he:

- Snipped out what John was replying to, making the discussion vastly more
difficult to follow.

- Is combative and argumentative for absolutely no reason.

- Argues against something John did not actually say, but due to the
aforementioned snipping makes it look like John did say it. In this way he
makes himself look like a good guy and makes anyone he responds to look
like the bad guy, but only by completely twisting the other guy's words.

- And, the icing on the cake, after all that crappiness, he is still
wrong.

I've been posting on Usenet and other internet forums for a decade and a
half and in all those years I have *never* seen a troll as masterful, as
clever, or as infuriating as MX. As I said before, the reaction he gets in
here is absolutely justified.

(And yes, I do respond to him from time to time. But only when he's having
a rare reasonable moment, or when he's said something that's really
hilariously dumb.)
