Many of you ask others to advise you, but the answer to so many questions is system dependent. Why don’t you post your system on your profile prior to requesting help?
So while we are shaming those who won’t post their systems, we might as well require people to update the photo every time they change a component. Heck there is one poster here that must go through about 40 DACs a year. I hope his camera is in good shape.
Ha! Forgot I mustered the ooomph to create a "my system" page a couple years ago...didn’t get very far with that did I? My laziness is very reliable! 🤣
Ah man, Xenolith...you had me cracking up after reading your posts and then checking out your virtual system. That’s priceless, man. Best two responses by far on this thread.
Well I’m very disciplined about how I apply my laziness.
Honestly, photographing and posting photos of le gear chez xeno just doesn’t occupy a position in priority space beyond the domain of my laziness. Heck, I could barely muster the motivation to post that I’m lazy...
seems to me that the provocateurs here don’t play by those rules, tit for tat is what they hope for, it gives them energy, sates their appetite for turmoil and vitriol
for the rest of us, normal users here to be informed and entertained -- yes indeed, we are wise to be reminded about what our moms tried to teach us
Why is it hard to avoid responding to provocations? Didn’t people have mothers that taught them “If you can’t say anything nice, then don’t say anything?”
Thanks for that. I know I shouldn't respond and sometimes I don't but this particular troll just got under my skin. Sometime gadflies bring out the worse in me.
Kids belong at the kiddie table and should be kept away from keyboards.
with respect, i would remind you (and all of us) that trolls, like the ones on this thread, live off the oxygen that others give them
i know it is hard to not do tit for tat with these sad, unconstructive folk, but i do think it is best to just not engage (even though i fall into that trap sometimes too, but i try to catch myself)
after a while, without oxygen, they get bored and move on to some other thing to disrupt
Well, I for one know that mine are being deleted just like I described a few posts ago by kota1 and maybe even mc1969 (who's actually a former member who's been banned many times).
Earlier, kota1 was taken out behind the woodshed and made to look more than a bit foolish and now he's just trolling away like a 12 yr old. It took him a long time to respond from last night.
I wonder if he's on the spectrum or addicted to Adderall and just can't make it through the day without dosing. That would explain the long pauses between his posts.
@ghdprenticeI am upset about moderating. Not about the forum engine. I thought I made it clear. Yes, it's free, yes it's very 90s, yes it has zero features a commenting engine should have, would have, say... in 2010. Fine. But the policing is "amazingly" bad, immoral, unfair, inconsistent.
I am in IT, have been a developer, architect for over 20+ years.
You are very sensitive. Especially for being on a free forum.
When they turned on the new security of having phone and address I could no longer post… although both were there. Then it dawned on me to click on edit my address, and simply save it again… it validated and I have access again.
I was in charge of IT for global companies… I demanded extensive testing before software releases… zero unexpected consequences. But we had thousands of users and millions of dollars of transactions. They are casual about software updates here… but the world does not end when they do.
I requested my account to be deleted, please don't cry, enjoy the commenting. It's an awesome awesome forum engine, the shining star of technology of the year 2023 :)
