Ad Filtering

LOL, Morgoth, don’t take anything that JayK says too personally, we’ve all been slam dunked by him at one point or another. Heck, his reply to one of my posts a long time ago was so bad that Paul had to delete part of it before I even had a chance to read it. I believe Paul set this Forum up to teach, and to be a GOOD teacher you need two things: knowledge of the subject, and the ABILITY to teach which includes being patient with those who are less knowledgeable than you are (idiots like me). In my opinion JayK definitely excels in one of those two areas.

Yup . . . he knows . . . look at his own signature He also knows his 'stuff''.

 

Can we get back on topic here? (puts on strict face )

Pieter

 

Oops, sorry about that Pieter, I just wanted Morgoth to understand that he really is welcome here.

Acadia

 

Thx 4 your welcome, comrades.

And no, it would have taken much, much more than that for me to take it "personally" - right now, it's water on a duck's back, more like hehe. Actually, Lex Talionis is one of my nasty little habits, and I was beginning to like this little game

Now, what was the topic again...

 

First, Sorry if I hurt your pride back then (you seem to be stalking me a bit in these forums...) but we all learn new things all the time even senior members like yourself.

Second, I don't know what got into your head , that I "definitely excel" in one of those two areas.

Third, who said morgoth wasn't welcome? Just an advice. And a joke that was not properly appreciated.

 

Ad filtering....... I think.

Well given that you type LOL, and make smileies at the rate of 2-3 per post, I wouldn't know if you were joking unless you started dancing naked and shout "I'M JOKING"

But whatever. My joke was far funnier.

I'm well aware that you like to "test" firewalls (and probably god knows what else), my advice holds. Understand what you are doing, don't switch just for the sake of switching which is the impression I'm getting it. You talk about your ideal firewall, but do you know enough about networking to know what ideal would mean?

Really ? So you solved this

 

Jayk,

Hmmmm, maybe I’ll change my handle to The Stalker.

Just trust me on this, you know MUCH more than I do about this security stuff.

Now what was the original topic again?

Acadia

 

There's another way to know - plain old human intuition. You'll learn soon enough...
As 4 the smilies, yes I do like these little things, in fact I'd move for a vaster choice.
A "naked smilie with an I'M JOKING sign" to start with, as seems it could be handy for some users

OH YEAH? Well, I think MINE was ... oh whatever, OK yours was funnier...

But THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!
Still don't get it, do you? I AM a network novice, and my FW criteria are made from the point of view of the user (and there are surprisingly many users out there...). When I call for "complete leak protection", "low resources" & "ad-blocking", are those the criteria of a networking specialist? As a user, I look for a maximum level of protection, ease of use and convenience so that, among other things, "nothing bad can happen to my system" - there, that's simply said isn't it? For a user, comparing many different FW reviews and leak test results (inc. the one from our comrade gkweb) can be useful to that end...


The problem is, my login name could not be used for my guest posts (because I'd get a msg that the name was already taken, obviously) and vice-versa. I wuz hoping the admins could turn my "guest name" (which I prefer) into a new login name.

uh... OK, maybe not so long ago then. Actually, shortly after I wrote about not being able to log in, I DID manage to log in as 'Aggressor', in case U didn't notice my prev. post. But the thing is, I'd still like to convert my present "guest name" into a new login.

 

As you seem to be unable to stop the bickering, I'm closing this thread.

Regards,

Pieter
