Correct on the first part however you pulled the second part right out of your own ass.
I eschewed forums in general for a bit there, true enough.
At no time did I refer to any of them as "beneath me", though.
I'd simply lost interest in them for a while.
Actually, Gary, I, like many others who have multiple computers in the home, use a VPN for the basic level of internet protection they provide, and as you know, Windows always has some bug that allows data to be compromised and only later do they admit it and provide an update.
As for the dumb dumb you were talking to about TOR browsers, pulling an allegation out of your asshole and holding it up and demanding you prove it doesn't stink is a tactic reserved for the lamest of the lame.
I can only roll my eyes so many times at such fabricated desperation before someone accuses me of playing dice.
