What's going on with your preferred Windows' plain text app?

https://www.connectedtext.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi : "HostPapa - Oops! Something's Wrong. - There appears to be an issue with this website. If you are the owner of this website, please contact HostPapa support as soon as possible."

(An'as for your multiple allegations,me not being'a human being: I'll comment onto them - proving you wrong - whenever I'll find the time, but that'll be not for "tomorrow" indeed...)

(An'thus, an'for the meanest-of-you: THE occasion to STEAL the domain, then? Come'on: plain-text, in 2023? Or then, your Russian simili-sex services? Come on, again: "ConnectedText.com" has had its time: In the late 2000's, i.e.)

(speaking of the 20th Century of course, i.e. BEFORE our, the current, millennium... )

There is no evidence the domain has been stolen. Whois says the domain was last updated in August of last year and it expires in August of 23.

The hosting account appears to have an issue, such as an overlooked payment.

If plain text is dead, then why champion sqlite as the real man's information management tool? While you can store blobs (Binary Large OBJects) in sql, sqlite won't do much other than store and retrieve them.

SQL isn't an app, it's a back end for apps.

I generally don't do creative writing in markdown, but I don't mind doing so. Composition is about ideas, not about formatting.

If you can pardon the pun, the point is connected text, as in related sentences and paragraphs.

WHAT? I never alleged the domain had been stolen, I just alleged CT's finished, and I had "warned" cynics who might want to steal the domain in the future, they're utterly wrong.

As for the rest of your post, could you re-word, please, so that even stupid guys like me can follow?

Btw. you're not even a deception, as far as I'm concerned, and then, and this is probably the very advice anyone will have given to you in your whole life: forget your (i.e. creative) "writing" dreams: they will lead you nowhere, trust me: You're just not up to'em: you're common, and if you really strive to something:

Strive to not get as mean as some of them are...

And you'll be well up the lot indeed.

very advice > very best advice

Dear 22111,

I clearly have a writer's thick skin for bad reviews. You suggest that I am common and should set aside my word processor. I am unbothered. It's truly OK. I win some, I lose some, I have fun watching the cursor spill words across the screen.

Please take this in the same light. Yours is not the best advice I've ever gotten. Like me, you win some, you lose some.

I appreciate your interest in my work, though. Thanks, man!

I retract my request you clarify your interest in sqlite. I'm not worth your time and the answer is not something I need, either. If you think others here are interested, fire away.

We part, we're good, life goes on.

Wow. We should be as magnanimous to each other every day. I found the comments offensive and they were not directed to me.

Amonwhatever: "I retract my request you clarify your interest in sqlite." - I've always said that SQLite is crap, just good enough for so-called "smartphones", but then, indeed, most smartphones obviously are smarter than their respective owners are.

Formatted text and SQLite? Formatted text, and any db? Formatted text and XML? You seem to try to defend UlyApp, with its ridiculous markdown, markup or whatever In-XML-formatting, which makes it more or less IN-ept to become any serious man's (haha, cf. supra) IM tool.

I have to LIVE with crappy sqlite, I never ever touted it, and will never ever do. But here's the difference between use: You won't ever tear some, any, viable output from your XML-markdown/up, whilst my SQLite output'd put you in awe.

But as you correctly said / implied re yourself: You don't matter.

use > us

Speaking for myself, I've had enough. Can't 22111 be stopped from posting? His rambling postings range from moderately useful to offensive. His arrogance is insufferable and nobody here (intelligent people all) should be subjected to it. In the balance, just not worth having him post.

Dear 22111,

You are free to ignore my advice, as I am to decline yours. Strewn here to either trample or appreciate as the spirit moves you are a couple of suggestions.

Open your mind to intellectual collaboration. Join the conversation. It's more uplifting than a monologue of manufactured authority. We can all learn from each other.

Read O'Henry's Brickdust Row. Pay heed to the quick transition from Blinker's first impression of Coney Island, "the mob, the multitude, the proletariat shrieking, struggling, hurrying, panting, hurling itself in incontinent frenzy, with unabashed abandon, into the ridiculous sham palaces of trumpery and tinsel pleasures."

Three paragraphs later, he no longer saw a rabble, but his brothers seeking the ideal.

The ending says much about pitfalls in human nature.

A mark of a good writer is that others want to read what he writes. 22111 vs. Amontillado. Hmm...

Isn't it past time for Chris Murtland to suspend (temporarily at first) 22111 for his behavior? What a shame if Chris allows this forum to descend into acrimony like so many other forums, just to accommodate one member whose posts few of us read or welcome.

Thank you both for your kind words.

@Alexander Deliyannis - Don't thank me, thank my Dad. He was an O'Henry scholar.

From the time I was in elementary school, there was a small ceramic plaque in the hall outside my room bearing O'Henry's profile and the quotation from Brickdust Row, "He no longer saw a rabble, but his brothers seeking the ideal."

I cherish that quote. It reminds me of the power of perspective and it humbles me. By luck of the draw I was blessed with parents who drove me to find opportunities.
