Secondly, Joe somehow comes to the conclusion that I stated that I
live in a "high-tech mecca," and that the whole discussion started with
this "bogus claim"--which it had not, as best I can recall?

Ah, there's the rub. No one said that *YOU* live in a "high-tech
mecca".

Looks like we've identified the reading comprehension problem....
.....and it is you. ;-)

Flawlessly consistent dumbass.

As I recall it, Joe read it incorrectly and seemed to think that Opie
had claimed that Opie lived in a high tech mecca.

I"m not going to go look it up, though. Someone else can if they
remember it differently.

Actually I did ask (obviously not directly enough though):

Generally, when someone asks a question that question is followed by a "?."

Please repost your original question, so that I am able to recognize it as
such.

"
I guess I took it the wrong way too. It read to me like Op was saying
that since I lived in a hi-tech mecca that the unemployment picture was
different here than in the rest of the country.

The above is not a question, but is generally considered to be a statement
of one's opinion, I believe.

Joe posted:

***"I didn't realize that unemployment worked differently between the left
and right coasts. Remember this started with your bogus claim of living
in a "high-tech mecca"."***

How exactly would you read, " Remember this started with your bogus claim of
living
in a "high-tech mecca"," other than that he thought that I said that I lived
in a "high-tech mecca?"

Obviously, your reading skills are no better than Joey's!

Are you really that stupid? (Note that the preceeding was in the form of a
question.)

I prefer that my mentor be a thinking human, who is capable of comprehending
the written language.

Reading this thread has been fun, but I'd really rather be camped out
at Beaver Creek listening to Willi, Warren, and RW argue : -)

Are you asking me why I'm not camped on Beaver Creek and listening to Willi,
Warren and RW? :~^ )

I didn't even realize that I was in any sort of mecca. Sure I work
in high-tech, but there aren't exactly a lot of other high-tech
companies around.

What's really funny is the fact that you continue to change my original
statement around to fit your twisted account of previous events in this
thread.

Geek-o-philes?....but Morons apparently works.

Mark: "...I can see that you wouldn't understand that knot
(obroff) all of us live in the Mecca of hi-tech."

Joe: "Remember this started with your bogus claim of living
in a 'high-tech mecca'."

I love it when you do this......EVERY time.

a sobering thought: whatever state this cretin lives in probably allows him
to have a driver's license.

had claimed that Opie lived in a high tech mecca.

We've got a post from Joe saying that he didn't. I read it at the time
that Joe didn't. And it makes no sense to dispute where someone says
that they live. I presume that Op knows where he lives.

Based on all of the above, it seems obvious that Op (and you)
interpreted what Joe said wrong.

Once again, rather than actually asking for a clarification of
something that didn't seem to make sense, various people
(not you) resorted to name calling. That's ignorant....and it's
especially funny since it turns out that they were the one's who
where wrong.

Actually, now that I think about it more, it's even dumber than
that. Why would Joe post the unemployment data for the west
coast (where I live and Op was saying was a high-tech mecca)
if he thought that Op (in NC) lived in a high-tech mecca?

Personally I think that they owe Joe an apology.

Alright, I'll bite.

What exactly did you mean, who lives in this mecca and where exactly
is it? - Look a question mark.
