Do you guys think some vendors are using sock puppet accounts? I'm getting a strange feeling about one in particular it seems every time something seems to go wrong , it goes off topic or somebody randomly shows up to 'praise' them for some bs reason. But on the other vendor posts, it does not happen.

Not exactly. But I have noticed a lot of recommendations to spend a lot on systems.
Not sure if this is vendors talking it up or just a typical guys "mine is bigger than yours" thing.

I don't talk a lot and I type even less so I'll keep it brief.

WHAT IS SO DIFFICULT ABOUT STAYING ON SUBJECT OF A THREAD?

Think before you speak or type. Is it related to the subject of this thread?

Will use the thread I just gave up on as an example. By end of page 5 it goes completely off subject and stays off subject. I gave up after page 8 when it was still off subject.

You have to go through 70-80% of chit-chat garbage to find relevant information.

Go ahead and flame me for speaking out. I won't respond. I don't do cyber spats.

The concept is related to something called "Godwin's Law"

There isn't a forum on the internet that stays on subject for every thread.

No. I suspect you're probably a suspicious person by nature and look for hidden motives/meaning even when none exist and have difficulty taking things at face value.

Maybe it's just a strange feeling though. :)
 
This could be a good thread for all the HighJackers to get it out of their system.

Anything under the rules goes from now on.

You know why Will Prowse videos are so informative. He starts on point, stays on point, and ends on point. He doesn't try to be a comedian, rarely gets off subject. You get 14-15 minutes of info out of a 15 minute video.

I'm here to learn, obviously not here to socialize. Needed to plan a system for House and Business. That's done.

Sorry if I offended some.

Never apologize; it defeats one's sincerity. If someone gets upset, it is what it is.
 
It's called 'dick-swinging'. Guys do it all the time. :ROFLMAO:
Especially short guys. LOL

This site is full of them. And guys with visions in their head.

First I’ve heard of that definition.

Me, I took it to be an abbreviated version of,

"Oh look! A squirrel!"

(therefore another joke at OP's expense)

I find "Urban Dictionary" unreliable, a place where adolescents sometimes post something they've just made up. Only sometimes does it match things I already knew. One of many places to "do your own research", but have to sift through the chaff.
