Back in the dial up a BBS with a 1200 baud modem days, I hung out on a couple of boards: The international 'C' Programing Echo ( Those guys taught me a lot! ), and another that I can't recall anything about, except that the handle of one of the posters was Cthulu, and that many posters often ended their posts with some sort of quote. Neither BBS would put up with the flames or disrespect to another poster, that I sometimes I see here. A first offense would get you a nasty note from the moderator. Three times and you were barred from posting. People that were barred sometimes tried to sneak back in under a different handle. This never worked, flamers got to flame. The moderator was elected every year and they almost never ran for two consecutive terms. I called this "moderator burn out". After all, who would want to ride herd over a bunch of unruly techies, 24/7, for more than one year? This weekend seemed especially unruly to me. IMO everybody should just lighten up! Especially you members of the Kudo Klub Klique. :>)> IMAGINATION, n. A warehouse of facts, with poet and liar in jointownership.The Devils Dictionary

I don't think you were here for the last go-around with that particular poster, when he/she was under a different name.Whatever your opinion, the real point is this wasn't the first time.

And I agree with gaines_wright wholeheartedly, though I view it in the opposite direction of what I assume he meant, though that assumption may be wrong.

I think something is missing here....I need to get out earlier.

MrBuster Trust me, what you missed wasn't worth the data it would have taken to read through it.

I completely agree. There comes a time and place for offering help and experience and there comes a time and a place for offering correction. There is never a place for using argumentum ad verecundiam however it was ill-perceived that I was trying to do so [instead of understanding that the offering of ones education and job title help provide a different layer of assistance(which is why companies like HN open up a ticket that says "well-educated customer"...ergo it gives them a different basis of knowledge when offering their assistance)]. I wasn't, however, the only one using such logical fallacies.

Going on the attack, and continuing banter from both sides is quite petty, especially in this weekend's scenario(s)

I apologize to the majority for my engaging of the enemy in battle.
