I have found that with most humans, i cannot say something pleasantly and be taken seriously.
I'm sorry that this is so for you.
So you tell me, Matt, how can i get Pete to understand and believe i am running winxp and ntfs?
If it were me, I'd probably say, "No, this is WinXP with the classic skin, and so the filesystem is NTFS."
If Pete had been abusive or even mildly snarky, perhaps a response such as you gave would have been justified. If you feel that you must lash out when someone has apparently missed a detail you previously gave and attempts to give good faith advice, then you should probably be prepared to be called out on that.
I felt he was saying i don't have a clue what OS or filesystem i am using, much like the ordeal with the fruit cake at the grocery store.
Since Pete wasn't on irc whe i said the following, i'll copy/paste the the following from irc:
> so i ran chkdsk, it reported no errors, i verify my copy of winxp is legal and up to date on patches, i open exploder and click on each file in order of size, up to and including the 5.11G txt file which Euphoria-4.1.0-Nov28 built, and then i click back down the file list , and all files display properly > then i start up the eu app running Euphoria-4.1.0-Nov28 , all is still fine in exploder, until Eu opens the 5.11G file to append more data, then exploder starts showing negative numbers in the right status bar box again > so like i said, it's a matter of the file being open and active, and not a corruted disk or borked os > either way, doesn't explain the different results with 4.0.4 vs 4.1.0
