You, on the other hand, seem to be hell-bent on making this the friendliest place on the web for every lazy guy who wants a quick answer, or every dumbass newb who doesn't know why he can't get a good sound plugging his sm58 in to the mic input on his soundblaster.
Oh for christ sake, take a valium, open your eyes, and look at more than what pisses you off. I get on people's cases all the time for not looking for the answer that's only one fucking thread away from the new one they just started, chide them for not finding the answer in the very first response provided by a Google search, or for "just not getting it."
The thing is, I'm making a concerted effort to try and just stay away from the idiotic threads because all they do is piss me off make make me start sounding like a crabby old burnt-out and useless curmudgeon who will wind up with absolutely nobody listening to them because they have become the board grouch. We already have one of those here.
I personally did not find the subject of this thread or the way it's questions were posed to be either useless or stupid the way you did. He at least asked his questions in a reasoned and intelligent way and I thought he deserved an equal response. If that is too "goodie two shoes" for your jaded ass, then that's just too fucking bad, isn't it? You don't like it, then leave. Nobody is asking you to stay here.
The fact is that when you give the kind of answers like you gave here, you're not doing anybody any good. You're not teaching this guy any kind of drill sergeant hard lesson or anything like that. You're just plain and simply coming off like a crabby old asshole. Nothing more, nothing less.
And don't try to tell me that there isn't a huge amount of ego behind your attitude either. It just reeks of egotism; you're just sooooo superior that newbs don't even deserve your attention beyond a "fuck you". So don't go projecting your shit on me, crab ass.
I at least try to stay away from idiotic and repetitive threads. Like the new - yet again - loudspeaker poll that just popped up on the tail of two or three other polls covering the same topic, and populated by a bunch of people who refuse to read what threads are already there before posting new ones, and who just don't get that loudspeaker recommendations are useless. I am not going to even bother with that thread. And there are many others like that as well. My going into those threads and acting like you and telling the posters that they are just fucking idiots and then stating some obvious trite response isn't going to do anybody any good whatsoever. So what's the point? If my responses seem to be more positive than negative, it's because I try to stay away from the negative ones as they serve no purpose.
I am nowhere near the smartest guy on this board on this subject, nor do I care to be. But I do know the topic. When a legit question is asked, I give a legit answer. Occasionally I get it wrong, as we all do. But yeah, of course I like giving good answers. You are one of the very few that actually enjoys giving horseshit answers.
in fact, now that I think about it, in both that thread and this one you gave one of your cranky idiotic responses early before I came in with an actual considered response. That make you look even more crabby and idiotic, didn't it? And that made you even more cranky and idiotic and now you're lashing out at me and blaming me for it.
You have three choices, chess. Give yourself an ulcer over this stupid problem you have with me, get over it like a grown up would, or just leave and go someplace where everybody is the exact same IQ as you and has the exact same beliefs as you so there's nobody to piss you off.
I know you don't want my advice, but if you did, I'd suggest that you just get over it.
