    There is a post you cannot say what was in it that you want to know why it was

    Sadly, Jon didn't keep a copy. :-(

    Likely an admin thought it was not appropriate.

    An 'Admin' sent out a message of congratulations for /making/ the post!

    My real concern is for the ‘safety’ of naive users of Apple products who visit the site and download ‘EtreCheck’ as often recommended by ‘advisers’ there on the ASC forums.

    Why is there a concern?

    Years of interaction with a devious character named John Daniel, aka 'etresoft',
    who somehow manipulates posts on the ASC forums.

    Somehow I don't think he's really interested in helping me, even though
    his iMac failed shortly after he downloaded EtreCheck onto it!

    (I feel somewhat guilty about that.)

    As far as I'm aware, he has NOT downloaded it onto his Mac Mini.

    I am. It is a recurring theme, like "Lather' Rinse, Repeat". I believe
    that he believes. I also believe that he 'plays it up' quite a lot as an excuse for asking rude and/or impertinent questions.

    Will you, please, provide an example of what you consider to be a "rude
    and/or impertinent question" which I have asked?

    Maybe we are truly seeing things differently.

    No, I meant that I wonder if anyone is buying your total horsesh*t about being "concerned for the safety of naive users".

    You tried the same BS approach when you tried to get Gremlin to break into the annexcafe server for you. It's extremely transparent. If you don't see it it's only because you don't want to.

    Alright, I'll score you as a buyer then.

    Will you, please, provide an example of what you consider to be a "rude
    and/or impertinent question" which I have asked?

    Maybe we are truly seeing things differently.

    Thank you for taking time to respond, FromTheRafters.

    Maybe it is your background in finance which makes you think that asking about how someone else makes money is pertinent. A fine example of impertinent and in my neck o' th' woods and is also rude.

    When I see 'people of color' cruising around town in a shiny black
    Mercedes, with darkened glass, like most people I know I think of
    criminals.

    I suspect you have been fortunate and inherited a substantial sum after
    the passing of your parents. I've never probed that with you, as far as
    I can recall.
    Like with PF, it is/was none of your business why he had so many servers
    or how large his harddrives were -- and around here, that is also rude.

    Of course it was my business if he was involved in nefarious activities.

    YOU should care about such matters too!

    It is especially so when the person happens to be a target of your
    paranoia, because we all know how you like to use personal information.

    Paranoia? FFS! I *KNOW* there are 'bad guys' operating on the Internet!

    Bringing them to justice is what I'm after. I want /your/ help too!

    I'm somewhat surprised that you haven't further leveraged the 'ladies
    room' comment.

    I'm sorry, I've no idea as to what you refer. <shrug>

    Openly racist is still racist (and despicable). How do you feel about people, such as yourself, who pick out a few innocent people and stalk, slime, and harass them incessantly? Also despicable, right? Wouldn't you like to just smack
    some sense into them/you?

    I suspect you have been fortunate and inherited a substantial sum after

    And why would you?

    Like he said, NONE of your business.

    Sure, bud, we should all be like you. *vomit* Thanks, but hell no.

    Of course, because you're one of them. Imagine, a bad guy pretending to 'look' for other bad guys. What could possibly go wrong. What has it been now, 15-18 years of looking, and you still haven't found your first bad guy? You haven't even found yourself, FFS!

    Bringing them to justice is what I'm after. I want /your/ help too!

    Turn yourself in, then. Let's get your first big win on the scoreboard.

    "In the economic wasteland that is Mac apps, EtreCheck has been a
    success. But in material terms, it doesn't generate a livable
    wage."

    That was said by John Daniel in the other thread here. Here's
    an extract
    from LinkedIn a while ago? https://postlmg.cc/F1NnxVTM

    Which source DOES produce a 'liveable wage' for him? Can you
    find out?

    Not sure of the connection.

    Perhaps you missed THIS article:-

    heckpro-and-ulbow/

    ..... And the 'Comments' thereafter!

    Have you read what John Daniel ('etresoft') has said about Howard Oakley
    in the ASC thread?

    Why can't you focus on 'tech', as opposed to 'personalities' and
    'drama', yenta? Why don't you try to become...

    I need to understand WHY /this/ post was removed!

    https://i.ibb.co/qpQJq0L/IMG-0341.jpg

    Can you help?

    Ok. Image loaded. Seems the thread is still there:

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254840961


    Yes - the THREAD is still there BUT the post by FlyingFid! has been removed.

    *WHY*?

    Maybe FlyingFid took it down? Who knows?

    I know! He didn't!

    Are you, he?

    I wonder why Snit didn't ask that question! ;-)

    Somehow I don't think he's really interested in helping me, even though
    his iMac failed shortly after he downloaded EtreCheck onto it!

    (I feel somewhat guilty about that.)

    As far as I'm aware, he has NOT downloaded it onto his Mac Mini.

    notice the non-denial...
