I don't really care about the arguement. I guess I'll just have to find somewhere else to ask questions about the amiga. all i'm getting now is flames.
BTW the "new" guy (ME) is the one who posted this question in the first place. I will report this thread to the moderators. All I did was ask an Honest Question and wanted an Honest Answer.
maxplunder I know how you feel, however you will need to understand that when people are only trying to help you, there will occasionally be some ignoramous telling people to do the wrong thing. What do you expect people to do except correct him so as to avoid trouble? They are simply doing it for YOUR benefit so that you don't do the wrong thing based on misinformation. It might be true that YOU do know better, however there are people who come here asking for help, and it would not be a nice thing if they were misinformed, just because one jerk can't the fact straight and they follow his advice - instead of having a barage of helpful people correcting the bullshit.
You must see this from a complete beginers point of view.
If somebody posts crap advice it needs to be corrected, to avoid problems, and to avoid a begginer leaving due to having their expensive hardware or valuable data being destroyed.
I hope you are all satisified u have lost a member
Don't worry, it happens all the time. If you can't accept the fact that people are trying to help you when there are idiots spreading misinformation, and that those people you have called flamers are the ones who are trying to correct the information to YOUR benefit, then perhaps you don't deserve the help at all.
If you ask a question expect people to
try to help, not become your slave.
