There /is/ a small chance you are telling the truth there.  I'm not betting
on it though.

Yes, you have claimed the same thing a number of times.  But as you never
explained to us what that usage might be - and have refused to respond to
where I did give alternatives - I'm still considering it to be false.

Why ?   You made it quite clear that you did not want to discuss it then, so
all I would do is to waste my efforts.

As soon as you stop claiming the same thing over-and-over.  Deal ?

Kiddo, nobody seems to agree with your "an sd-card slot(s?) *must* be
present in a smartphone" stance, no matter how many times you repost it.

Better yet, most current smartphones, lots of versions, don't have them, and
they are still sold very well.   Shows you how much we care about them being
there.

People like you can always buy a FairPhone.

You mean, one of those messages is the one where you described some usages
and told you that there are other methods available ?    The same or another
one where I challenged you on being able to copy an internal SD-card to the
external one and than be able to use it (security and all that) ?

See, I do not even need to give you the message IDs, you already have them.
:-)

Besides, I'm not going to go thru a number of messages hunting for what you
are suggesting that might be in there.  "Wild goose chase" and all that.
Its yours, you know what it looks like, you quote it.
