Hopefully some of this will shake out after the OS2008 update madness has cooled down.

All I know is that I'm tired of getting the pitchforks and torches for trying to help out.

This is a fantastic idea, aside from the fact that it's also going to lead to a lot more *****ing initially.

Ha. Exactly the reason I didn't reply earlier. Perhaps, I hate to even mention it, a new thread on the issue is in order? :rolleyes:

Perhaps I should post it a third time in the relevant forum for Reggie to see :-)

I think it comes down to this. At the rawest level, two kinds of people come here. Those that'll stay, and those that want a quick fix for their problem and want to *sniff* use us for our intellect.

Don't blame me. I've been trying to throw out stink clouds of obfuscation. Like a squid with irritable bowel.

Well, I tried, anyway.

This is just some stupid joke-thread that tried to devolve into usefulness. The only irony here is the intentional kind, so trying to use it as an insult is a little weak. ;)

The irony of this whole irony is that my sarcasm was not sarcastic enough to make you see the irony. ;)

Howdy Ho!!

I came out and played for a little while tonight, trying to be helpful. But too many new people are busy perfecting the art of wasting other forum members' time... I just can't compete.

So as suggested, I'm going back under my bridge/rock before I lose all sense of humour.

I admire those of you who continue to read all the duplicate posts and threads and still have the patience to stick around. A big "Thanks!" button to each of you!

See you all later! :)

I'm on sabbatical too, just lurking around. I just give a hand on the French maemo forum, which has its tsunami of write-only newbies too, but much more manageable than here :-)

Gosh, last time I was here, this seemed to be a 'comedic relief' thread...and it was beginning pretty darn funny. How things can change.

Reminds me of a t-shirt I had. It said: My anger management class pisses me off

SO, ion's levity comment for today is "lighten up" and rise above the stressing.
Its not like we are solving the world's real problems here. It's just a tool of various uses, mostly fun.
The angst at times in this whole ITT Forum is a little over the top.

While we're mud-slinging, did you hear ThoughtFix is a biased fanboy and secretly on the Nokia payroll? He goes to all those events for the back alley grope fests.

Hehehe.

The best and worst parts of open-door communities: anyone can join.

There are a great many n00b unfriendly Linux communities out there whose reference answers to any n00b help not only involve saying "use the search button" and "read the FAQ" but aso include various denegrating comments that just leave n00bs feeling afraid to ask for fear of attack by a community whose aims ought to be support.
If someone asks a basic question but they do it in a polite and sincere way, the best response IMHO is to equally politely direct them to the newbies board.

I honestly don't think the wiki is for real newbies yet. I might even start a thread about this elsewhere, but suffice to say it's too inconsistent, too full of gaps, too full of out-of-date material, too misleading with topic titles and too unsure of its intended audience.

Thoughtfix on Nokia's payroll? Never heard that one. But I do hear he hangs out in the bushes at their business campuses and when they're done their lunches and go inside he runs out and stuffs his pockets with their discarded french fries until security chases him off and then he goes home and smells them.

(Ok, so I ripped 90% off that off of Family Guy.)

Texrat just blatently duct tapes his camera phone to his shoe and hangs out in the bathroom.

Which is bad, but what's worse is the General pays him for the images and puts them on his website.

Whose only paid member is Karel.

Yeah!

Heh. The joke is on him: I don't pay; I get everything from your torrent.

BTW Tex, don't tape over the lens anymore.
Or tape the phone with the lens facing down.
