It is often much quicker to simply ask someone that already knows from the top of their head. The big problem is that when I ask a question on usenet most often many people that do not know the answer still respond. This is the root cause of the meaningless drivel. > * your claims that your algorithms/design/code is the a) fastest, b) easist > to understand c) most effecient d) correct when it clearly is not > * the fact that you are always trying to get someone to do the work for you > * the fact that you must ALWAYS have the final word on any thread no matter > how trivial the comment > * the fact that you have not produced a real product even after 10 years of > development! > > at this point, calling your threads "drivel" is being kind... > > -Pete > >
From: Tom Serface on 10 Jun 2010 13:45 Hi Peter, I like to mostly stay out of these things, but I've been online a long time and my advice to you is to: 1. Not be afraid to ask anything. That's what many of us think these forums are all about. 2. Glean information from the responses that may be helpful to you. 3. Post back any findings you have to allow others following the thread to know the resolution if interested. 4. Ignore everything else. When someone posts condescending remarks, simply ignore them. That doesn't mean an energetic technical discussion isn't fun sometimes, but when it digresses to personal comments then the best thing to do is just not respond to them IMO. :o) Tom "Peter Olcott" <NoSpam(a)OCR4Screen.com> wrote in message news:S6ydnS8PQapFg4zRnZ2dnUVZ_rGdnZ2d(a)giganews.com... > On 6/10/2010 11:35 AM, Pete Delgado wrote: > I can do research myself.

I have more medals than you, but this means just nothing to me :) On the contrary, the point thing may cause some form of competition which is IMHO bad and contrary to build a *community* spirit. If I could modify something on the web forums, I would cancel the point and medals. > This newsgroup has been more than a "forum" to me.
