- Mr Maas,
- please do not complain about the "subtract-one" algorithm.
- It was posted as a joke. The original post as well as my follow-up were
- posted with humorous intent and were marked accordingly. Pick on
- somebody else or send me e-mail about my posts. Don't waste everyone's
- time. We already know these claims are impossible.
-
- For everyone else,
- I'm sorry that we have to waste your time with these posts. Mr. Maas
- has been trying to convince me that my humorsly intended posts are
- impossible claims of compression through personal e-mail.
- I have repeatedly tried to show him that they were humorous.
- It seems that his "expert opinion" can't even regonize humor even after
- I told him outright that my post was a joke. I encourage you to
- ignore him and force him to use personal e-mail (with me) to continue
- his tirade.
