OK, 658 postings. A link to www.express.net, which mostly has OS/2
items. Here is part of a post I saw from you the other day about
porting to NT:
===================
I have worked on large ports, yet this one is larger than any of them.
However, you present this as one huge application which it may not be.
Understanding how exactly it works etc., is the first step to port it
over to anything.
You may be even better off bringing a bit of structure into it, keeping
the migration in mind.
If you want me contract, let me know <G>....
If not, try your luck with Softlab in Munich area, they are used to large
software portings, have software testing tools, know IBM etc. They are
not cheap though....but they are good at what they do.
Feel free to quote me as the referer, Mustafa Soysal who worked with
Juergen Lange at Messerschmitt Ottobrun on porting TUS from unix to VMS,
a software testing tool (Test UnterStuetzungs System). If they need a
hand, I would be happy to be part of it.
===================
I also see quite a few references to TCP/IP programming, a few
complaints about IBM (no big surprise, there), a few references to comm
applications (and some referrals to SIO), you have expressed some
interest in web servers, including GoServe, a few accusations thrown at
people for "rephrasing my sentences and words" (gee, where I have I
heard that one before?), a posting about using PMJPEG to create
thumbnail images (now, who isn't reading?) when the person specifically
did not want contact sheets, some postings about ISDN, complaints about
a "pathetic liar named Turgut Kalfaoglu", a post where you were "turned"
to "NT or Linux", some silly accusations that a SOHO would need to
connect to an AS400, some more complaints about HPFS stability, one of
your dumber answers to me in this thread about how an "SDK is not
DevCon" but rather a "beta" Toolkit, an article recommending not to use
the BitSurfer Pro (although you do have it on your web page), a
complaint about REXX stability (gimme a break!), yet another thread says
you would love to sign up for an online class to program DB/2 from REXX,
a complaint about UUPC security, an ad for OS/2 consulting needs,
another complaint that someone wasn't reading what you wrote, another
user telling you to move your crap to advocacy, on 23 March, you told
another user to "check the archives" and that hanging around the OS/2
groups was one of the "better things I am doing", and again on 22 March
told someone to "check the archives", another complaint about how much
you spent on OS/2 and how you wanted to "be paid back" (i.e., you want a
free ride), an article on your inability to get TCP/IP to work on
Win-OS2 in Warp Connect (gee, and you offer _consulting_ services?), on
20 March, you tell someone "check the archives", another article where
someone is complaining that you can't understand what you read, an
article where you actually admit you are a liar "If you want someone to
lie to your face or anyone elses, please don't[hire your company].",
another post where you were thrown off of 2 more listservers other than
the ones I know of, another complaint from yourself that TCP/IP 3.0 is
buggier than 2.0, another posting from you to "check the archives", yet
more bullshit about how HPFS "slows down" when the hard drive reaches
50% capacity, you tell someone to run in "VGA mode" who was listing
a few video cards, you called me a liar because I had to reinstall once
to try to get 4OS2 working (I suppose it would be too fucking obvious
that 4OS2 may be unstable? Next, you'll be telling me you've never
had any trouble with any operating system except OS/2), ...
Now, what was it I was looking for?

You are correct. I do not understand liars and losers. You just happen
to be both. You have lied in almost every post you have made, and you
point fingers and call everyone else a liar. You take things out of
context, then claim everyone else is. You even admitted to lying in one
of your posts.
You are a bitter man, who is driving customers away from his business
and blaming IBM for all of his problems, or you are a forger who has it
out for Mistik Systems (if that were true, I think they would have
stopped you by now). No one in their right mind would do business with
you, in particular the people who posted seeking help in porting from
OS/2 to NT.
