You seem like a competent working man and I suggest you stop supporting idiots because you think that I have started any of this. 

He isn't, and you did.

You have absolutely _no_ room to talk.

No, he didn't. He wrote that the unit has an autopause function.

Autopause always was and still is a feature, regardless of the firmware 
version.

You weren't a senior EE for 50 years. You were barely competent as a 
technician, You repeatedly have demonstrated you have no fucking clue 
what you're talking about.

>  Do you think that it is a poor look because I corrected you? 

Pay attention, dumbass, the poor look he's referring to is due to you 
hatred towards anyone who proves you wrong and refers to buy into your 
bullshit.

> Or because I find people like Frank and Liebermann who never worked in commercial business almost entirely wrong all of the time? 

You haven't proven him wrong on any issue you've blathered on about.

> Liebermann who doesn't know that your face is part of your head? Or Krygowski who claims that his cycling cap is as effective at warding off head injuries as a helmet is? Wear a helmet or not, as you wish but never pretend that a helmet doesn't offer at least some protection. I have published articles on the failings of helmets and was pro helmet only to the end that it did protect you from mild injuries.

I did? Please provide a reference to where I ever claimed that. Oh, 
wait, I know, it was about the time I wrote that I rode went 200 miles 
in one ride....right?

Too bad you never had the trust of management to the extent that they 
didn't watch you like hawk.
