i don't know what this means. all i was trying (and boy do i mean trying), to tell you, is that you kept saying i said. . . **** it....please find a spot in most post that said you're stating people have to have a high post count to be a dick. Then reread this whole paragraph.
Look, I don't get why you're getting all fired up. You seem to be taking this personally and that is just dumb.i don't know what this means. all i was trying (and boy do i mean trying), to tell you, is that you kept saying i said. . . **** it.
you didn't answer my question i asked you three times in your last post, and that is all i want from you.
i'll ask you again - do you see my point? do you see my point at all? do you see what i'm saying about the example with the other site? do you actually read what i type, or just go straight for a rebuttal? so i will ask you again, do you see the point i am trying to illustrate - how some people would not care for post counts. do you see my point? do you see my point about how it could not be required in general discussion? do you see my point at all?
personal attacks? please...your simple biggest flaw is that you are not willing to see my side at all. do you see my point? that is all i'm asking you. plain and simple, civilly, do you see my point?
it's not that it's 'just' something i don't like, i really do think that the examples i was talking about are detracting from my experience.
this will be my last post on this website that is not of technical nature. i get community and comradery elsewhere. i belong to about 8 other boards and forums of a technical nature, and really just joined here a year ago for the technical information. i don't need this shit.
so go ahead and have your free shot - you know i'm not responding; a welcome last laugh...
do you see my point at all?
I find myself agreeing with you lately. What's going on here?Here is my take on it (and yes I am a post whore) I have an rss fed from chevytalk.org. I have noticed the best tech comes from guys that have a relatively low post count for the amount of time they have been registered members, I have maybe 15 posts over there for the 3 years I have been registered. I have also noticed that it is not the same community like it is here. If I have a question about my Toyotas I ask here first because the Toyota guys are mostly snobs, noo sence of community or helping a brother toyota out, if I have a question about my GMC or my motorhome I ask Will. There may be alot of post whoring here (more than any other board I use) but it also leads to a sence of community, especially when you can get MAKG to show his sence of humor. so alot of the ridiculous may seem to be a waste of server space but it is not, its what makes us all family.

"user titles"??? What did you want to know, Jim?Wow. I asked about user titles. I didn't realize this was going to create such a huge heated arguement about the pro's & con's of post counts.
lolcouldn't tell you. been spending more time reading the tech library and less time watching C-span (I bought a 32" flat panel plasma HDTV and a HD DVD player and an up converter DVD player for my old DVDs and I am not willing to pay the price for cable)
I've said it before, and I'll continue to stress this point. Post count means nothing, besides proving that someone has so little else to do that they constantly are posting some type of response to any kind of thread that they can find.
I think many people can spot a good tech contributor when they read through their post.
Remember, it's not quantity but quality that counts.
