Oh! Man, no life commitment. Damn! I was getting ready to shave my head and join in on the chanting or was that some other forum.
I agree, with you. It's a little disconcerting, when people join, ask one question and you don't even know if they read your answer or they don't care.
However, I think for the most part is just the younger kids who do that sorta thing. I like to help people if I can. I'm obviously not qualified to tell anyone what do in the recording area, but I'm a little qualified to help people out with their computers and give them some advice.
Granted my advice is skewed with my view of the world, but they don't have to take my advice. There is no one answer for everyone, although some people in the Forum think there is.
They are giving their advice based on their experience, but it does not mean that it will be the same for the other person.
Most people I meet who find out I work on computers ask me computer questions. I personally, don't want to work on their computers and un-like most computer geeks. I will not tell you, that you need the latest and greates computer.
I geat a satisfaction out building a hall table with my garage tools, that looks nice. Is it cheaper, better, nicer than anything I could have bought at the store. Maybe, but mostly not.
I can probably go to the store buy a table that I can put together, looks nice, serve my purpose, and cost me less than what it would cost me to build it in my garage.
Why do I do it? I get a satisfaction out finishing a project and then using it. I can choose the wood I want, how the grain will look, the color of the stain, the exact height, width, and length but I can find something very similar for less which serve my purpose with a lot less work.
I would never recommend someone who is looking to buy a table, to go get the wood, the stain, buy the tools and build themselves a table. If they get a kick out of it. Sure go for it. You are not going to get a significantly better product, for the price. Anyway, I went off on a tangent again. I appreciate the compliment, it's hard to tell sometimes if anyone cares that you post at all.
