I figured since all he knows is hate and negativity he either has to be some sort of confused punk rocker or an emo kid

You have no idea, kid. Jace you are amusing but not very intuitive. But I know I consume a lot of your time. I think you need to get back to your burning man roots or whatever new age shit that is currently amusing you, Santa. Yawn.

BTW, Jace what is it exactly what you do? It seems you either have a website or you are a traffic monkey. Not quite sure, but you damn sure are a vocal fellow.

NABOB was a joke file compression and archiving tool created by Thomas M. Tuerke (SysOp of Gravesend BBS) and Al Kalian (SysOp of Palladin BBS) at the height of the compression wars that resulted from the legal conflicts between ARC and Phil Katz. In response to so many tools touting the effectiveness of their compression algorithms over those of the opposition, and a proliferation of tools and archive formats, Tuerke and Kalian created NABOB, with accompanying documentation that claimed it to be the ultimate archiving tool yielding better compression than any of the others.

Its user interface was designed to imitate those of ARC, PKARC, LHA, and (early versions of) PKZIP. After presenting a convincing display of compressing files, including a progress meter as "compression" was occurring, NABOB would create "archive" files containing solely a single character, character code 1 (which would display as a smiley face character when the file contents were displayed on IBM PC systems).

In another swipe at the marketing of compression tools at the time, where utilities capable only of uncompression would be distributed freely and the concomitant compression utilities would require payment (c.f. RAR/UNRAR, PKZIP/PKUNZIP), NABOB was distributed as "compress only" tool.

S'matter? You run out of english words to use? Just making up your own language now, in addition to your very own little grey reality?
