Well, yes, Wizard. People come on here to solve their problems/inquiries and it often stems from a selfish point of view. However, as self-centered as it may seem at a moment, other people have the same problems and inquires and so the common goal is met in the long run.

That being said, you use more bandwidth on here than YouTube. I like reading a patent here or there, but in every post it just becomes overwhelming and often doesn't make any relevant sense.

You know a ton of stuff and a simple "I read that ____________according to [author's name]". That will make you a really dapper poster.

I think that it is good for the Wizard to post quotes like he does, as long as they are on topic.

disagrees with them or horror of horror someone post toooo
much information.

I come from less kind time when a Bum was a bum
not a Homeless person back then — people with high
degrees of self entitlement were called spoiled.

I have a suggestion to these people carried over from
my military days. Take your TS Card (Tough-Shit) down
the hall to the Chaplains office where he will punch
it for you. If you get enough punches you can cry on
his shoulder.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.....

Hey wiz, I don't know if this post was semi-directed at me due to me stating the current accident thread had gotten out of hand. It just didn't seem like an appropriate place for a lot of the junk that was being posted there.

I'm also not sure if you mean specifically your posts that are being targeted. I know they tend to receive a lot of criticisms for being garrulous and some times of questionable relevance to the discussion. I personally can usually find the connection to most of your postings to the original topic, and sometimes cannot fully read them all. There in lies the benefit of the little scroll button in the middle of my mouse.

However, I do appreciate them and don't consider them a waste of bytes.

Can you give me a more specific example of the aforementioned topics so I can better understand your compliant? ( so as to properly fill out and punch your TS card.LOL)

:edit spelling

There are too many youngsters here who are as deep as a bird bath but
imagine themselves to be professors teaching oceanography.

I find most of Wizzard's posts useful and if I don't want to read them I can just skip over them. Plus the older references are more likely to be correct. In the internet age anyone that can move a mouse can publish and you really can't believe what you read....

Its also interesting to rank the forums I read in order of
politeness best to worst

firearms related
robot fighting
science maddness
body building

I was surprised at how polite the gun people are. (but the mods lock the treads up quite quickly too).

That doesn't make much sense.

What does a frog in a well know about the ocean? old Russian proverb

That probably doesn't make much sense either.

When a persons mind is in a box, does that make them an expert about
the CEO of FedEx or anything else outside the box?
