Nice welcome, bruisedquasar. Hit and run newbie. That's a great way to make somebody feel welcome and want to contribute. I was merely recounting my experience ordering my 680e.
Whoa Ki-mo-sa-be! I have no idea who you are or what in the world lit your fuse!. You certainly do not know me. Since you felt free to hurl at me without extending the civility
(or rationality
) of checking out what you think I intended, I feel free to respond more frankly than my upbringing would normally permit.
You did a lot of attacking me there and owe me an apology. You can start with re-reading my post that you assume offended thee. You might also consider doing something that might have prevented your rash conclusion jumping bean and attack, a standard newsgroup practice that evolved before there was an internet. Newbies were expected to do a good once over of the support or news site and read a lot of back posts before posting. I have only been a member here a few months. I invested my first month just reading posts. I am always a lurker before I post. This was standard polite practice at one time, before AOL threw open the Internet door.
When I launched my first post here, I already formed a fairly decent idea of who the main players are at hpcfactor. I had a decent idea of whom the serious and reliable contributors are, the hotheads, the trouble makers
(very few of em as the site is well monitored
), I carefully examined the different thread topics so I would not ask questions that have been asked over and over.
If you would have done something like this, you would know that I do not attack people. I was not attacking you. To assume so and to flame before checking out what you think I meant first is a tad narcissistic, considering I did not refer to you or mention you or insinuate anything about you.
I was giving some novices general conclusions I formed over many years and I mean it when I end my posts with "Of course, this is only merely my humble opinion"
You see it is my discovery that the more I learn the less I think I know.
I form opinions to be corrected by better information or logic. Now, if you wish to debate with me that there are no critters that we can label 'hit and run newbies' But I am not interested in discussing whether we must declare them a minority and revise the Constitution for them.
(-- Not that it matters, but I am not white
), then please re-educate me. As for you, I know nothing about you and I have no idea what you are talking about.
For your welfare, I hope you do not pop off at strangers like that in public places like restaurants or worse in establishments that serve adult beverages. Here, where I live, that could prove most unhealthy, even worse in nearby Detroit, where every other school kid seems to carry a both a big gun and a big ego problem.
If you can come up with anything solid against me, I apologize in advance, and all I can say is I certainly did not intend to offend. The first rule of human interaction is to be other directed, which means assume the attitudinal posture that most strangers probably mean you no ill will, so if it seems one is wolfing at you, check it out. You can always attack later.
The wise man walks humbly with his head bowed.

it isn't the real bottom that you need to remove afaik.
