What if people (in George Carlin's parlance) don't want to have a romantic relationship with five "twos", but instead want a tiny bit of chance to have a romantic relationship with a "ten"?

Are you paying these "idiots", David? Have you bought their "big iron", maybe? No? Then stop behaving like their employer and barking orders, eh? This is their idea of fun. Get off, already.

I prefer a more general rule: Beware of those who presume to tell others how to spend their time,

That includes - but is far from exclusive to - false prophets: many other kinds of wankers fit the bill, as well.

Recently you were humiliated into offering a grovelling apology to the forum because of unjustified contemptuous remarks about my prowess.

ARE YOU SLOW, STUPID OR LOSING YOUR MEMORY?

This trading scheme has brought fresh cpu's to the most undeserved segment of this project (namely P-1). So far 1,097 GHz-days have been saved by this little exchange (a net gain of 873). You are acting like this is hurting the project. I have my own free will. I am doing this to benefit my efforts toward the 332 range. If all of my 'wasted' efforts in that range upsets you, you are free to ignore it.

A bigger man would have accepted the apology.

Edit: Oh, and by the way, the insult wasn't about your "prowess".

If this post were written more cogently, I should be responding on the ins and outs of P-1, which I haven't addressed here yet but would like to.
Instead I have to put down yet another thinly-veiled torrent of insults.

Brace yourself Uncle.

Why should bringing fresh CPUs to the most "undeserved segment of the project" be a good thing to do?

Can you refute my argument that trying to find a 100M digit prime is currently a forlorn effort?

You and I go back several years. It disappoints me to see you jumping on the bandwagon of these upstarts.

David

You didn't address your apology for an apology to me, and suggested I milked it for all it was worth.

I seem to be doing that quite well.
Careful what you ask for.

last I checked you said that TF by CPU was basically pointless (since TF by GPU can do more), so how is making it more pointless really any worse? it's better than not using CPU to do anything so it's not the worst option.

As often, Ernst provides me with an excuse to lighten up a tadge.

A very good older friend of mine frequently remarked on the attractiveness of young boys and girls.
In the pub I broached the subject of his sexual orientation.
"Basically I'm a masturbator" he replied.
Refreshing candour methought.
