The other was the one linked in the article. The mistake there was that after the person setup the phone I/V I went to thier site and saw that they were the Slavers From Hell and expressed my misgiving in a maybe 200 word note that should have been a single sentence cancelling the I/V. The individual apparently took it personally and called me with the apparent intent of "showing me up". In particular he asked "what is a thread"? Having worked with threading since it was introduced in late 80s in OS/2 I responded broad and deep. The statement that a thread is essentially a process must have totally flipped this person. Of course a process is usually associated with the OS job construct but the truth is that every variant of a sequence of instructions executed by a computer (or anything else fro that matter) is in fact a process. Threads, fibers, tasks, jobs are all in essence processes. I gave other details based on an experience beyond this persons comprehension including reference to the B machines but the real mistake here was even speaking to this individual after having sent the note. | The other was the one linked in the article.
