The fact remains, I've used that EEPROM on two separate ECUs (other than its original) and it worked fine.
I see you've felt the need to re-bring this up after quoting your original post, I suspect you're trying to get a rise. I'm afraid the keyboard gangsterism is strong for a 31 year old.. Please do not be under any illusion that being "shitcanned" would affect me in the slightest.
If you want to be a smart arse, point out where I "stated it as fact". I shared an experience. Whether it's been luck or otherwise, that's regardless. I think the only head spinning here is from your own self importance.
You specifically classified my comment as misinformation. When you do that, you are certifying something as correct. Had you said, "In my experience this is not required" it would have been an entirely different conversation. You did not. Instead, you stated for fact that which is not true. That's how "misinformation" get's spread. Do you understand?
There is no ego involved here. My job is to keep "misinformation" from spreading.
If that extends to removing you, so be it.
