Paragon, Paragon, Paragon,
You are telling me about using tact!
Is this the same guy whose idea of replying is a string of cheap grins!
?
or calling another person an idiot who “spread(s) more lies and stupidity” or calling people knuckle-draggers, or uses curse words in his postings.
You’ve mentioned in some postings that you are “well versed in some very inane topics” and that you are among the few that takes it personal when someone “is otherwise flippant to the members here” and yet you have no problem in being flippant yourself. You say that this board is “all in fun” and yet you rain down on fun.
I am not offended by anything you have said, I even find information and humor in most of your postings, but one thing I don’t see coming from you is tact.
Your reference to
http://www.gti-vr6.net/library/elect...iregauge2.html is just a board of Volkswagen GTI VR6 user/owners. Hardly the paragon (pun intended) of electrical knowledge. There are some other interesting pages there too, such as the “How to disable the "La Cucaracha" seat belt warning buzzer” (really).
In my reply I never called you a name, I never used a curse word, I only asked where you got your information. I used the word “heck” as in “Where the heck did you learn that?” And for that one fun question you want to call me a “cheeseball” What’s the matter don’t you like having to account for yourself?
Oh, oh, oh, yes, I also used the word “spouted” as in the information being given by you as being factual.
That was terrible of me there, wasn’t it? That you could dig up information on the internet, that I can’t find anywhere else, and you pass on as a table of “factual information”
The internet is full of pages of non-factual “facts” It really all depends upon who you want to believe.
For electrical information you can believe some Volkswagen owners or some electrical engineers. You make the choice.
In my reply I gave details of where I got my information. I realize that many or you readers out there might not like too many words, since you lose interest after the first sentence or two (are you still reading?), or if there are no pictures, so I then separated the information and highlighted where the person requesting the information can skip right to my recommendations. Sure, Dan, I could have said something as simple as free electrons are carriers of electrical current (or an engineer might bring up the theory of holes carrying the current… yada yada yada) but what sense would be made of that? I gave actual recommendations of using particular sizes of wires for a choice of situations. Something useful.
The information was located by JohnnyRPM, so evidently he was able to locate it.
As for you others, and we are still having fun here, aren’t we? see if you can locate my “column of caring” (see finger extended on end of hand). But that’s all in fun.
