Hi Trippy,
It is interesting that you mentioned computers. I joined a computer
scripting list for my screen reader software. When I started asking
questions about how to do scripting, the response was something to the
affect that one should really read and understand the manual before asking
questions. My thought was "If I completely understood the manual, why would
I need to go on a scripting list to start with?" The logic escapes me.
So many times one only needs to learn the specific knowledge for a
particular project. They simply don't have the time or interest to sit down
and learn a bunch of irrelevant information. That is where having friends
like on a ham list or computer users list comes in handy. I have been
blessed with good friends on several lists, and I am grateful for every one.
God bless,
Mark
God Loves you!

Subject: I don't appreciate some comments on this list, and we need to think
about what we say to people
Hi all,
I first want to say, that I do appreciate the help I've gotten on this =
list.
It's a great list to be a part of.
However, secondly, I do not appreciate comments like, how I got my =
license and that kind of stuff.
First of all, folks, you all surely know, right? That most people don't =
get their license to build kits, or to be technical. I'm not saying =
here, that, technical information isn't good for people. I'm just saying =
you go ask every ham in your local area, "So, why did you get your =
license in the first place? They'll probably tell you, "I got it because =
I saw how much fun ham radio is, and I wanted to get on the air and talk =
to other people, or, to get in contests, etc.
Now, some people get their licenses because they're technical, but many =
don't.
We have a problem in the ham community, and, we have it in the computer =
community as well. When someone asks how to solve a problem, =
technically, so many people get an attitude like, "how did you get your =
license?" Or, in the computer community, they say, "you're an iddiot, =
can't you figure out how to do things with your computer, what's wrong =
with you?"
That's why many people don't join computer lists, or ham radio lists, =
because the people that are on those lists look down on, or, they have =
no patients with anyone.
I see it in the ham community, and I see it in the computer community.
So, let's not look down on, or get an attitude with anyone, weather on =
ham radio, or, on computers.
In case you all forgot, we all as I tell folks, so offten on computer =
lists, when someone asks, "I hope all won't laugh at me, or this is =
probably a dumb question"". There is no dumb question. Not everybody is =
a techy. When I'm on the air with someone, I don't ask them, "So, how =
much do you know about building rigs, or, how much do you know about =
antennas, etc?"
Let's just help each other out, in the ham community, or in the computer =
community, alright?
Trippy, ac8s
