Can't happen! :-) But seriously, I can also use multiple servers as I have Hamster on my system, i.e. a local, private News server on Windows, much like leafnode on UNIX/Linux. > some traits... ;-) > My issue is with thinking that a poster using aioe alone meaning he is a > troll or spammer. Yeah, I agree. Same thing as people ruling out posters using Google Groups (or posters using Linux! :-)). |

And I did not say all useres of these servers are trolls but almost all trolls use these servers. A free server but not anonymous would be the following: https://www.eternal-september.org/?language=en&showpage=home > Thus I make nothing of using a free server. That's why I had to put you on my "troll server"-exception list to be able to read you. Joerg |

Nobody said anything like that. I use more than one server as well but no anonymous servers. news-out.google.com news.netfront.net and aioe.org are responsible for a vast majority of troll postings in the usenet. Joerg |

I only speak facts. Hear me out, as I present the facts, where this Joerg /never/ adds technical on-topic value to /any/ thread he posts to. All he does is call everyone else a troll. And what does he base his accusations upon? He thinks that the mere fact that someone wants privacy means they're a troll. I've told him already, in other newsgroups where he trolls his accusations left and right, that this is like saying all Blacks are criminals, simply because they're black, all Italians are in the mob, simply because the mob is comprised of a lot of Italians, all Jews are greedy simply because some greedy people are Jews, all Germans are racist simply because some Germans have committed hate crimes, etc. What Joerg fails to understand is that a troll has to troll to be considered a troll. That simple fact is compltely lost on Joerg, and he'll never get it - simply because of two facts he's proven time and again. 1. He can't add technical on-topic value to /any/ thread topic, and, 2. He considers anyone wanting privacy to be a troll, (where he's the troll, in actuality). Want proof? This is Joerg's 1st response to an on-topic question in a newsgroup: "[I have no answer to the question] I only know the idiot who wants to know it ..." <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/bWXHKhH3AAAJ> Q: Is it on topic? (Answer = ?) Q: Does it add value? (Answer = ?) Q: Is it something the mind of a child would say? (Answer = ?) This is Joerg's 2nd response when responded to by an adult: "Only anonymous *idiots* are using anonymous news-servers. Your header: Path: eternal-september.org!reader02.eternal-september.org!feeder.eternal-september.org!aioe.org!.POSTED!not-for-mail <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/xj2X4Wn9AAAJ> This is Joerg's 3rd response when headers were explained to him: "you are simply a big mouth. " <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/UmK7yflFAQAJ> Joerg's 4th response responding to the proven troll, Frank Slootweg: "+1" <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.android/sgzGVamjKU0/AmUPwr5ZAQAJ> I can go on proving two points but this should be sufficient for adults: 1. Joerg never adds on-topic technical value to any thread, and, 2. Joerg calls everyone else a troll simply because they desire privacy. The adults on this newsgroup don't have to believe me ... where all I ask is for them to ponder whether those verifiable facts above of about a half dozen posts plus another half dozen responses trying to explain facts to Joerg Lorenz (all wasted effort, by the way), added /any/ on-topic technical value to the thread? So that I'm not guilty of the same childish games that Joerg plays, I've already proven two points, where I want to once more tell Joerg the on-topic technical admonition that simply wanting privacy does not make a person a troll. In fact, Joerg clearly is guilty of exactly what he accuses everyone else of being, simply because his posts /never/ add any on-topic value to any thread. Just watch... |

Think about privacy? Do you understand privacy? We all know the answer to both questions, if asked of an adult. I posit, therefore, that your logic is that of a child. This appears to be your logic: A. Because someone desires privacy, B. Then they are a troll. I simply posit that is not the logic of an adult. In fact, I posit that your post is a troll. Hence, I posit, you just acted just like a troll acts in that your post added zero on-topic technical value to the thread. |

Pink on one side and blue on the other? Actually, I just make sure that the USB cables I buy have good built-in strain reliefs. If you are really serious about making your own, there is tape that you can buy that is impregnated with resin. One version sets by itself the package is opened. One uses water to activate setting, and one uses UV to set the resin. And thee is also the self-adhering/fusing tape that basically melts together when it is wrapped under tension. Take your pick. |

The name Ragnusen Ultred appeared recently. Not only that, nobody has been on "the Usenet", ever. Likewise, there are no "nntp headers". Making these kinds of errors and claiming to be an expert, shows that - also in this area - he severely suffers from Dunning-Kruger effect. > What, you used different names changing them frequently? Well, that > defines you as a not reliable Internet person. A troll. Yes, it's kind of pathetic that someone who is a netabuser in so many areas, claims to be a Usenet expert and tries to teach *others* lessons, even on Netiquette for crying out loud. > Not reading the rest. EOD. [This area has been left blank for Mr. EMAK's whingeing about people not "adding value" to 'his' thread, while he already got the answer to his troll#####question, but does not like it.] |

Because someone desires privacy, B. Then they are a troll. Huh, no. You protect privacy by not using your real name, then sticking to it like a man. Stand by your values and what you say by using the same alias for ever. Anybody that wants can track you name changes back in time. I have a list of yours, and signal all your posts. It severs no purpose your name changing - it just annoys people. For a short time you may fool us, then we suspect, and finally we are sure. Thus you name changing does not protect your privacy. Don't lie. -- Cheers, Carlos. |

| M.Joshi <M.Joshi.150430d8@diybanter.com>: Mar 30 06:49PM +0100 Hi, I'm trying to repair a meter that has had a couple of AA batteries leak. I've noticed that the leaking electrolyte from the battery over-time has found its way to the power input solder wire connections on the PCB. Could the electrolyte migrate via the wires from the battery terminals to the PCB connections? The wires are fairly long. -- M.Joshi |

Further, some electrolytes are volatile under certain conditions, so they can migrate as a vapor. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Usually at one end there is a sealed PCB enclosure that is creating a vacuum with temperature changes. |
| M.Joshi <M.Joshi.150451a8@diybanter.com>: Mar 30 09:09PM +0100 Thanks for the replies. I have seen some videos that reccommend using white vinegar to clean the dried battery electrolyte. Is there a better cleaner to use? I assume it's probably a good idea to replace the battery wires as the strands are likely corroded? -- M.Joshi |

Copper and lead make acetates, which means the vinegar will slightly etch them; if you use vinegar, clean and rinse well afterward. Inspect the copper carefully, printed circuit copper is thin to begin with. Vinegar is a neutralizer for alkaline battery leakage (and NiCd, NiMH). Not a great idea for acid chemistries (like gel cells or LeClanche carbon/zinc). Soapy water, rinse, finish with isopropanol is my usual cleanup regimen. |
