The initial post from Billy T was obviously designed to provoke some comment and when it duly arrived there was an immature over reaction from some members who should consider whether they are setting the right type of example for others. Because someone is a regulator contributor and makes many useful posts does not give them the right to criticise and and make the type of personal comments evident here. There was nothing posted that justified this type of personal attack from people who seem to think they can control what is posted on a public forum. There is no need to comment on every point made in a post, there is no need to prove you are right all the time, this is not a competition. There are many things in life that are annoying, learn to live with them and grow up people.	Jim B (153)

146846	2003-05-25 01:51:00	Why would one respond to a pathetic thread? The two well written replys are a puzzle to me,both are objective fellows with full lives, and above all this,why would they bother,or even find the time.	Thomas (1820)
146847	2003-05-25 01:59:00	What a great post Dyan & Jim B :) Well done!! ------------------------------------------------------------- Good-bye Press F1!! You probably will Not Miss me.

146849	2003-05-25 02:19:00	Jim I love an argument and I don't think you are up to it,Imperative reason be present.;)	Thomas (1820)
146850	2003-05-25 02:34:00	Like I originally responded this post earlier "Whatever" It was fun, dramatic, inflamitory, comical etc etc etc But not worth the 5 pages of responses. Veteran forums users (ie those who whore forums other than PF1) will know when to move on. Now is the time....	nzStan (440)

PressF1 - New Zealand's PC World self-help forum Self help . . does that mean we are all told 'goto google'? No Does it mean theres a list of answers to every conceivable question, just pick your problem? No Does it mean that people like myself, Billy T, and a range of others are what keeps this place really 'Alive' as such?

OC and proud! I have a lot to share, so if I have a lot of time on my hands between interviews, why not help out others who would be lost without it! Say Ive made now over 4000 posts . . split it up into 6 lets say Ive made 1/6 posts on myself and my problems 1/6 again on follow ups of my problems (This is being very generous to that here . . i dont have that many PC troubles . . . ) 1/6 on posts like this . . . another 1/6 on follow ups for these . . 1/6 on helping out others . . 1/6 on follow ups for that assitance Now, work that out, I know I do a heck of a lot more helping out that I do posting on 'OT' threads like this, and I certainly dont spend 1/3 my time posting about my own problems . . probably not even 1/6 So Ive helped well and truely a good 1K odd people with a huge variety in problems in the past 6-7 months! Why get a life outside?? Well . . I certainly do . . Sound/Vid technician for the local church . . working part-time at the cyber cafe . . . fixing other PC's for clients . . . still maintaining a social life . . . You do the math! Cheers Chill .
