I think that might be a good idea... I'm going to ban myself from hr.com for a while and "maybe" come back under another name/handle. nkjanssen thanks for the comments and idea.nkjanssen said:Would you all mind a couple of random comments from a relative newcomer here?
You all seem to react to DJL based not on what he has said presently, but by what he has said in the past. It seems that his past actions have earned him such ill will that even innocuous statements garner him scorn and contempt. I didn't think his post on this thread was such a big deal. If it was posted by someone else, I'm not sure the poster would have been quite as reviled. But, then, I'm not really familiar with the whole DJL history (nor do I really care). I must say, though, DJL, if you are indeed "turning over a new leaf", you might just want to chage your login ID. As it is, it seems that every post coming from "DJL" is looked on with suspicion. That wouldn't be the case if you had a noew identity. Of course, if you are just trying to stir the pot...
Also, when Dragon said "spam", I think its obvious that he didn't really mean "spam" as that term is commonly understood (i.e. unsolicited e-mails, etc.). His statements were clearly directed at commercial advertising-type posts (and I doubt that his concern is with .sig's). Of course, the whole thing requires some further definition. But all the posted definitions of "spam", etc., aren't really solving anything because that's not what he is concerned about. I'm sure he'll post some guidelines shortly.
As far as the spam and advertising messages go... I give up, you win. With that said, I'll say goodbye to one of the last spam/advertisement free type bbs's on the internet... and say hello to the new PMI Audio Group forum. Goodbye all.
