Why do "posters" just pop in here out of the blue with no posting history on usenet whatsoever and show up in RRS and ask simple questions. All they have to do is google their answer. If this is legitimate, I 'suppose' there will be some answers. But I kind of just shake my head with questions like this, it almost makes me think it's 'someone' who has posted in here before and had not too great of a response/responses - and in a weird way - just by someone in this group conversing with them in a 'normal' manner gives them a sense of accomplishment. Almost like making small talk when they already know the answer. Just saying. {?} |

Almost like making small talk when they already know the answer. Just saying. {?} Probably for the same reasons that the preponderance of people get their news and information from TV, rather than doing a bit of reading and getting the straight information on their own: They prefer to be told, rather than make up their own mind. Especially, if someone is new to shortwave, and techologically illiterate, a recommendation from someone who may have superiour knowledge is more reassuriing than taking a blind stab at a choice out of hundreds of options, with a dizzying array of information to wade through. There was a guy here, more than a decade ago, named Tim, who came in like rolling thunder, demanded answers to a lot of questions, blustered huge opinions out of his ass, pronounced himself an expert on shortwave, and then blasted Bob Grove mercilessly for a weekend based on nothing more than the revision numbers and dates on the circuitboards of his brand new SW-8. He went on for nearly three days about how Grove had sold him an old model. He called Grove and screamed at the person on the phone, threatened legal action, and then came in here and ranted to exhaustion. All based on a lack of knowledge. Had he simply done some cursory research, he would have found that his radio was, in fact, brand new, current and of the latest production batch. But he didn't know. And it took 3 of us, here, to talk him off the ledge, put right the damage he'd done to Bob Grove, and to educate him on the nature of radio production, how to read serial numbers and to look up production runs. With guys here like you and me, and Ace, and women like Brenda Ann, and a couple of others over the years, there's a LOT of information available to fresh RRS recruits, just for the asking, without the misunderstandings that may come from ignorance and access to Google. There was one kid, and this goes back about 15 years, now, who would mount up and ride into RRS with opinions on everything from cell phones to AAA. And his position on nearly everything was that self research and learning was obsolete. If you needed something, you simply called on your cell phone, and found someone who could provide you with the answers you need. No need cluttering up the brain with useless information. You carried a cell phone and that got you what you need. Well, he got caught on the freeway with a flat tire, once. And not knowing how to fix it, reached for his cell phone and called for a tow. There was no signal available from where he was located, so he got ****ed and tried to walk somewhere for a better signal. After a few hours walk, he finally connected to a tower, placed a call, and called a tow. He walked back to his car to find it had been stripped bare with little left but the paint job and someone working on that. The tow truck had been there, had seen the stripped skeleton, and had left. He had to walk somewhere to get a ride back home. He was ****ed, but when he related his experiences, here, and was told he should have learned how to change a tire, he simply said that thinking was obsolete. It's simpler to just call someone. So, though your point is certainly correct, and makes a lot of sense, you're dealing with some individuals who don't know, don't care, don't want to know, and don't want to care how to do things themselves. It's easier to simply ask, or in Tim's case, demand, that someone do the work for them. In other words, it's simpler just to ask someone. |

There are two sides to every story. Assuming he had full coverage insurance, with a resonable deductable, for less than the cost of a set of 5 high end tires (4 and a new spare), he got a brand new car. :-) If he did not have enough, or any insurance, that 's because he did not make enough phone calls. :-( Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Thank you for all -- Radio Shack presently is closing out the Grundig G5. I bought one new in the box, with an AC adapter and carrying case, for $59 and change at the RS store in Richmond's Southside Plaza about two weeks ago. Managers apparently have a great deal of discretion over pricing, so it's a good idea to call ahead. The G5 is a lot of radio for the money. Sky Captain Richmond, Va. |

You should see him in action in other newsgroups where he has teamed with a bunch of trolls who already have the destruction of two newsgroups (that I know of) to their credit. He regards this newsgroup as "home turf" and has asked his troll mates to stay away so he can retain a "clean image" here.

I have NEVER had anyone follow me around usenet before and it's kinda weird too be quite frank about it. All he does is read this group and as soon as someone shows "any" problem or disagreement in something I said (in this case Preist) - then this ass clown joins into the fray.shaking my head Don't put to much energy into it. It happens. There's one, who shows up here, from time to time, who's been stalking me for a decade, now. A case of too much time. I've filtered this person in the group. And they know better than to contact in person. After a while it becomes a non-issue. Chalk it up to USENet, and don't let it impact your enjoyment of the group. |
