It is if one has an unusual setup. I am pretty sure that our protagonist is on a unix based platform, with an unusual browser, and an odd offline editor for composing replies which are then copypasta-ed into exactly the wrong place in his replies. It took some patient effort and a few harsh comments to get there, but he is figuring it out.
My suspicion is that he does not see the friendly interface we are all accustomed to, but a source code viewer of some description. Thus by default, he sees tags directly.
Is that true? I have no idea until negatio actually tells me, but give the guy a break. He has shown willing. Slowly, I will grant, but still...
He has claimed difficulty understanding all the equals signs. That makes me think he sees something of this style of kidney...
Code:
[quote='negatio' pid='1804969' dateline='1535113238']Those are easily explicable, but baffling if one has never seen such before.
For now, I am happy to give the guy a pass, provisionally. He claims to be 72. I have a close friend who is 75 to whom I have successfully explained all of this.
Once again, it isn't rocket magic.
However, there are limits. In our last exchange, he effectively claimed to be unable to figure out how the "Enter" key works. That caused me pause. How could one not?
