> Needless to say there is an obvious problem here. One that goes far beyond the previous concerns about trolling, insults, and abusive off-topic remarks.
Mr. Morgan,
Observe below is it is FORUM MEMBERS doing the attacking.
There is good reason why TUSC does not post here because nobody like hurtful insults.
Not just professional insult, but making folly of there looks and other private things.
Every week hurtful insults are hurled here.
Pretend you are Niemiec while you read below and think how you would feel.
How would you feel if you were nice person, trying to help, and was treated in such mean way?
Even when Niemiec tries to engage in productive discussion, his private e-mail is posted on public forum and dissed.
Read sample below and see.

Subject: back up your statements
Date: Sun, 9 Feb 2003 22:06:55 -0600
If you have questions, ask me directly so that I can answer them before you post slanderous statements on the web. I spend a lot of nights, weekends...etc. writing things with the only goal to try and help people out, so I am honestly concerned with your comments.
What are things that you've read? What do you find bad with them? Do you ever try to get clarification before you post things like this?
Thanks,
Rich Niemiec
Now I could comment on the arrogance that suggests I can't post an opinion without having it cleared (or 'clarified') by Rich first. I could also suggest that throwing words like 'slanderous' around is designed to initmidate (and my inbox tells me that it has worked on at least one occasion). But I won't mention that Usenet and the Web are two completely different beasts.
And I would also say that if I'd had the courtesy of a reply from Rich to *my* reply to his original email, I wouldn't be posting this here.
But I haven't, so I will.
Other posters have to know that its OK to think Rich is wrong, or
think
that his books miss the point by a long mile.
And if he doesn't like the opinions expressed here, or can't tell the difference between a poor opinion and a 'slanderous statement', he can do what we all have to do here when criticised: grow up, deal with it and move on.

Having just one extent per segment improves performance by, just wait
a
minute while I go and check a Niemeic Tuning book ...

PS. For any newbies, the above is a joke, a rather sad and sorry one but a joke nonetheless.

And let's not forget the interminable scripts to calculate "ratios". Very useful. God only knows to whom.
And the "defrag" early and often crap.

I haven't touched any of the books from the TUSC mob since Jonathan's book's been out.
That lot has spouted a lot of wind and little substance.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you've found their material useful, or Ault's stuff in particular, then fair enough. But the general case still holds true, too. They don't know their ASSM from their elbows most of the time.
Regards

Now I find the above very appealing because for some weird reason, I find Rich Niemiec reminds me heaps of the first husband in Bewitched and a photo with him (with suitably forged autograph) would make a great poster, hung in a place of honour in the study.
