Is it the fact that some of us are not totally God Fearing people...
our latest discussion:
(13:16:16) joe: this is why I am getting disallusioned with the BB:
(13:16:33) joe: question:

(13:16:52) joe: answer:

(13:17:28) joe: now how hard would it have been for the guy to search first?
(13:18:24) Baradium: actually
(13:18:28) Baradium: he might have search
(13:18:35) Baradium: that "answer" doesn't answer his question
(13:18:42) Baradium: someone mentions wanting to put a scout II tank in an 800
(13:18:44) Baradium: but that's *it*
(13:18:49) Baradium: sorry, try again
(13:22:17) Baradium: hello?
(13:22:24) joe: looking
(13:22:38) Baradium: sorry, I couldn't help but cut off you rant in mid swing
(13:23:27) joe: well, the point is 90% or better of hthe questions have been asked and answered many times
(13:24:21) joe: course I'm a geek and i learned STFW and RTFM long before the third word meant anything to we
(13:26:09) Baradium: it's not quite as bad as you make it out to be
(13:26:35) Baradium: some of the questions are new people, but the BB is a learning community, letting people ask stupid stuff lets them learn and welcomes them more than only letting them search
(13:26:49) Baradium: and making them paranoid that maybe they just missed something if they search and don't find anything
(13:29:46) joe: but, take for instance a linux board i,m on, Justlinux.com. when you post a message right at the top it says "check the help files, then ask!"
(13:30:52) joe: so?i've started threads along the line of I searched and found (url), but i still have this question...
(13:31:17) joe: maybe BB needs a newbies section?
(13:31:22) Baradium: no
(13:31:30) Baradium: then it might turn into pirate
(13:31:35) Baradium: and we don't want that
(13:31:41) joe: that I doubt
(13:31:42) Baradium: I won't even register on pirate
(13:31:46) Baradium: I refuse to
(13:31:53) Baradium: I've had a few times where I had something I could've added to a discussion
(13:31:56) Baradium: that no one seemed to know about
(13:32:02) Baradium: but I refuse to be a part of that board
(13:32:14) Baradium: I only look at it when someone points me there for something specific
(13:32:25) Baradium: sorry Joe, I know you like it, but I do not like the atmosphere
(13:32:39) Baradium: it's too hostile and even when it's not hostile it's much too vulgar
(13:34:47) joe: sorry, had a call.
(13:37:28) joe: I guess it's hard to understand, but T feel more welcome at pirate. sorta a blue coller (i know thats mispelled) vs a "change is bad" on the BB
(13:37:47) Baradium: blue collar?
(13:37:57) Baradium: ok, so now you're making it "Pirate is for the working man?"
(13:37:59) Baradium: come on
(13:38:07) Baradium: it's not so much that change is bad
(13:38:11) Baradium: as they don't want *your* change
(13:39:04) joe: I'm just saying on pirate the concept of change is accepted more
(13:39:53) joe: and everone wants my change. i've got $12 in rolled pennies here
(13:40:17) Baradium: lol
(13:42:33) joe: but like i said, i like the pirate attitude better. and not just the IH section. hell I have my own hate club in chit chat
