The above user disappeared for a while. Other helpful users picked up the pieces. Now he wants to slam and insult those that had continued to try to help.
@rasmus_braun : Please remove the above continuing insults towards those that had picked up the torch to carry on in his absence before this user came back.
z10user2 doesn’t have the full story of my temporary hiatus. I guess he thinks that he does.
Truth be told, this thread was not the only instance of plagiarism of my DIY topics. Sorry for using the “P” word. But as you can plainly see in the edits of the OP/Original post of this topic, my PVC name/authorship was removed, and the content copied verbatim, including all the links.
In the past, (z10user2 himself) did the same thing. When I would intentionally disappear one of my threads for maintenance reasons (or to create a new thread while presenting the subject matter in a different form) my original content would popup under a new name of z10user2. But to give him credit, he did not remove my name/authorship, (and after a short while) I guess he realized that reposting my old content was not sustainable and his copied threads were deleted.
Perhaps this classification of my post as an insult would make more sense without the PVC name/authorship removal in the OP that stands out like a sore thumb. It’s easy to see. Just go all the way to the top of this topic and click the Pencil icon. If this is not authorship removal then what is it?
Lest the above user forgets, he does not own any rights to his content. Once posted, it belongs to the host. He has zero ownership of it all. Zero rights to assert. He disappeared. The content was re-posted because he had tried to intentionally bury it under dozens of edits.

The notes in the original post say Costco sold hearing aids are often locked, and then the ones locked are shown in RED below, but I see no red ones. I’m worried that some of the regular brands like Phonak if sold by Costco will be locked. If this is the case, how can one easily (without trying to program them) tell if they are locked?
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Rob, don’t worry as PVC says nothing from Costco is locked, all the latest from Costco are perfectly fine to do DIY programming.

quote from PVC’s previously post which he stunt-deleted:
“Look at the revisions to the OP/Original post atop this topic to see where my PVC name/authorship was removed”
For the record: since PVC keeps harping on this “authorship removal” thing, even going so far as to make an absurd accusation of plagiarism, I’ll break my silence on the history and state the facts.
PVC did some good work on the forum, but some time ago deleted many posts, taking his ball and running off home as it were. I copied and re-posted some of the removed material and gave PVC credit. Then he started messaging me with unsolicited advice and commentary. I ignored that and all his other weirdness. Nevertheless the behavior became increasingly childish, including turning his avatar upside down, changing it to 86, and even using my dust-cloud avatar as his own for a day. Apparently his antics caused the moderators to take some action to stop the drama. One of PVC’s claims was that the re-posted material constituted some sort of liability for him, so I removed his name. But it remains clearly described as “copy-paste of archive material.” Eventually PVC returned with his “school” and I was happy to see him doing good work again.

And yet again this user fails to grasp the concept that he does not own his content here. The host does. He has no standing to claim ownership.
But, like with the other thread, this one will get locked and he wins. And he knows it.
If he could demonstrate some decency and respect for those that stayed around helping people rather than slagging all over their efforts upon their return from fiddling with clocks then maybe there wouldn’t have been any push back on him.
Thread necros happen all the time in every forum everywhere. You can bet a forum talking about fiddling with old clocks does this too. Sometimes wording and search terms work for some people. So they find old threads and the thread may still be useful to them.
When the thread gets locked, that user has no way to interact with what they found. That’s a detriment to them.

Dude, you can have all of this old obsolete gibberish for yourself. I don’t want to own this! Please take it. Put it under your pillow at night. Are we clear that I don’t want to own/possess this obsolete thread?
But don’t expect me to ignore it when a newbie comes along and thinks that this old obsolete gibberish is legitimate. You should not post another persons content, period! It’s silly. This is what happens.
Yes they do have a way to interact with what they found;
For DIY Help 24/7; Click any PVC Avatar; and then click PVC’s Featured Topic; which will help you find download links to (Free Fitting Software) and other DIY School Help.
The above user seems to be saying his claimed content is gibberish. I see. Yet they seem to think they own all their content…new or old.
Again…“another person” does not OWN the content posted here. Anybody can do whatever they like with posted content. Only the host has any rights to it.
I don’t want to own it. You must have miss what I said?
By the rantings of the above user they are claiming some kind of ownership to all their content new or old. Otherwise why would they be ranting about others posting it?
Well Hurry up; I don’t have all day;
Yet more demonstration of this rude, obnoxious member.
Ranting? Look in the mirror;
Again, look in the mirror.

I think I’m the one being civil and decent. You drag me down to your awful level of incivility. And you and I both know what’s going to happen to this thread and/or posts in it. It’s entirely your intention.
It’s always about deflection with you. Never any personal responsibility.

Previous quote from PVC: “this thread was not the only instance of plagiarism of my DIY topics”
Huh? You don’t want to own what you accused someone of stealing?
Previously, in a fit of pique, you took a blowtorch to your posts. Had you not done that then this thread wouldn’t exist. This would be a good time to explain what that was all about and apologize for it. Might as well explain what the hell the plagiarism accusations were all about and apologize for being dead wrong about that as well.
“civil and decent”, Now that there is funny. 
Only to those that constantly demonstrate rude and obnoxious behavior. They can’t grasp what being a decent, civil human is.
Yes that is correct. I do not want to own what I accused you of stealing? You know why? It goes obsolete if you don’t maintain it. Like this thread full of old obsolete gibberish.
What you two don’t understand is that a Topic that explains DIY self programming requires maintenance. You cannot just let it sit, otherwise it will be explaining how to self program hearing aids that are maybe a decade old. What good is that? Besides the old HAs are already explained in DIY School along with the new.
Another thing you two have missed. I have always destroyed my old threads when I create new. Even cszoom1 blasted me for that and tried to convince the “new forum owner” about how bad I am for deleting something. Here’s a link: Looking for a nEARcom - #4 by pvc
I survived cszoom1 (a Professional Shill) and so did my DIY threads. I will survive you two and the DIY School is thriving.
So Chill!! Don’t try to control me or my content. I can get by just fine without your helpful re-posting of my content. btw> Do you recall the long-ago message to you when I offered to help you with your own content instead of re-posting my content verbatim? Or did that slip your mind?
