That implied the question: "Can you please explain to me, > how it works?" I thought everyone adept at computers knew what irc was, since irc has been around since the DARPA days. There is no specific irc database type protocol, so i am guessing type:it cannot be questioned. As i responded to in a previous email.

I think you got the sequence of emails out of sorts, and since this email is days after the last one of this thread, i am fairly sure of it.

This is the only > explaiation that I have for your strange reaction. I did wish to share. I did not wish to hand over the data and go away. The other posts on this thread were consumed with finding other sources of the data, i simply did not reply to them, but they were there. I did not confine my world to this one set of emails between Juergen and myself, or i'd have taken it private. <big snip, addressed more than once before> > I don't understand why you always talk about those 50 cities.

I guess that is where i got the "50" from, from you, eh? <snip -- addressed previously> > >> So what? ... wait. Do you think I tried to exclude you from the contest, or > >> what?

I am looking around atm, trying to locate anything online or in real life where i work or play with any humans on any project. There's nothing. There's nothing i do that works to entice humans to work with me,, perhaps the problem is not with me. <big snip> > >> If you'd write more often objective, problem oriented posts, staying to > >> the topic, rather than polemic posts, then the chances that people would like > >> to work together with you probably will increase.
