You got it wrong again. People question my technical expertise and contributions in this forum on a regular basis. In most cases they are proven to be wrong by me or someone else, but sometimes they refuse to learn. Sometimes I grow from the experience and am grateful. Other times it's just an annoyance. I would not make a very good diplomat, since I prefer to speak my mind, say what I mean, mean what I say, and try to say it in as few words as necessary, while preserving accuracy. A wise man taught me to prefer clarity over agreement as a goal in debate. Another wise man pointed out to me how chronic the disease of hypersensitivity is in our culture.
There is a certain value in how abruptness can startle some people into being more alert. Euphemisms have limited value or utility in expedient communication. Confusion and error are terrible states to be in for long. Some folks exist that way much longer because no one is willing to provide a "rude" awakening by telling them the truth. In the first three posts of this thread it is clear that the thread starter thinks swapping settings is related to obtaining a better picture. Reality is that it's not a reliable solution, nor is it a very expedient method of education. It's considered by some to be a short cut to better performance than out-of-the-box configurations. I consider it too short. For some folks it may be all they want. That's fine, just don't mistake it for a reliable substitute for accuracy. Your attempt to help the thread starter didn't appear to sink in.
No, my friend, I think you got it wrong. My point, and only point, was that you can share your knowledge and experience with a "newbie" without sounding so frackin' arrogant. I gave you a compliment and you turn it into a debate on your validated experience. Conservation of words to make a point is a valid goal but not everyone here is at your elevated state of awareness. I too grow from experience and the knowledge I learn here, and elsewhere , but you can't stand anyone disagreeing with you, even a perceived disagreement.
I do like the way you carefully, and tactfully, put together your rebuttals though
@PlasmaPZ80U; dewd, you are SO predictable it's funny. Nice to talk to you again. Looking forward to further posts.
