First of all sorry to ALL and Rob, Bubba, TankDawg, James and Kodiak. Thanks to Wheeljawk for understanding.
The reason I said so are because some of the replies I saw does not provide enough information and looks misleading. This is dangerous to newbies. It's only because I am passiatone that I take this risk to voice my opinion.
For the ones that does not know, they will take the advice and try it, which at the end notice it doesn't work. They will then come back and ask more. That is fine with me, if they get the correct advice. Except they will find more incomplete answer, which again is quite dangerous to them.
I respect you guys coming back to me with your opinion, and I guess you guys are no newbies. I am sure you must have noticed incomplete or inaccurate replies and etc.
What are we going to do? nothing!!!
NO, we must voice up and help them by telling them the best reference is tom's previous articles and other sites and sources from original manufacturer.
Ultimately isn't it a better solution? to anyone!
So for these reasons everyone that did not read toms previous articles should go back in time and reference it. As most of you know if you read every single article tom writes back to Nov 1996, you will know nearly everything by then.
Under the link "More releases" it lists all article tiles plus some description, I think if they are not impatient, they will find what they want.
It was nice of tom to sometimes go back in time and rewrite some basics, even I need them. Thats is why he always put some links to his previous articles for new comers to catch up. That is one way to encourage newbies to learn more.
Alright, I will rest this case, and again sorry to those who was upset, truely sincerely sorry!
I really don't think any apologies are necessary.
I didn't take anything personal nor was I upset.
I think everyone should have the right to have any opinion they want and the right to state their opinion.
Having a forum is about expressing your opinion. I disagreed with your opinion but I wasn't offended by it and I certainly feel no apology is necessary.
You made some valid points, ie, we should all refer the newbies to Tom's articles. We should also watch out for bad advice, avoid giving it, and correct them as quickly as possible.
I just think no one should ever feel dumb for asking an honest question.
yea it's cool man don't worry, i am reading alot of those old articles and if i don't really understand something or have a question i just ask on here and there are alot of nice people who will help me out
and i would like to say it's cool you are all helping me out, i am not stupid just starting to learn about computers just now, i learn fast soon enough i will know alot more i just am grateful everyone is kind in helping me along, soon hopefully i can start to answer question as i am learning really quickly.
