Mad

[filburt1]

I am pissed. Here's why. Maybe it's your fault:

[list=1][*]My post count does indicate at least a shred of knowledge. I have written two programs as professionally as I can. I am working on a third. I am employed at a large company for the second year in a row developing with a team of professional Java programmers. And I'm 16.[*]I post meaningless crap, do I?

Wanna know why each of these has the emoticon? Because each one has "thanks" in it as well because the poster appreciated my help.[*]I realize people like Bonker and aknisely are usually just joking. But it is starting to grate on my nerves. Show me a little respect, I show you some.[*]I am under a s***load of stress. I'm going into my senior year of high school, taking the SAT and Computer Science AP tests, contacting colleges, being an editor for our monthly new show, and hoping for a GF. If you are 17, you know what this is like. If you're not, damn are you in for a shock.[/list=1]

Oh bloody hell, can't you people just mind your own damned businesses?

[filburt1]

I'm starting to hate the post counter...

[aknisely]

That's unhealthy. Mine's working, now.

[chrisjk]

If you hate them, you won't mind losing all but 100 will you?? Carry on just as you are, and that will happen.

Oh bloody hell, can't you people just mind your own damned businesses?

It is our ****ing business you cout, we use these forums.

Does it really bother you that filbert has a (slightly) inflated post count?

[chrisjk]

no, had he earned the majority of them legitimately.

Not all mine are legit, but most are.

Like I said, he will eventually loose them all if he carries on, I'm telling him this for his own good.

[aknisely]

Why would he lose them? Is John really that anal about such things?

[filburt1]

Chris: Did you even READ those first several links I posted? Wouldn't you say "You're welcome" if you helped somebody? Or are you just a rude arrogant a**h*** like you are implying that I should be?

[chrisjk]

yes, and so are the mods.

It has happened before. Isecure was doing exactly the same thing...he lost almost all of them.

You don't say you're welcome. You say Thank you if someone helped you. That's it.

[filburt1]

I have had conversations with the mods. They don't care about stupid trivial stuff like that. Most of their time is taken up by reading reported posts, deleting and editing threads, and the like. Who cares if I have some posts saying "You're welcome?"

[parksie]

Can't we all just get along? Ignore the ****ing post counter!

I only pay attention to my total posts

Without trying to sound like a little kid, I haven't been starting anything.

[aknisely]

I need a drink, you people are too wound up about such things. There are people starving in this world, and you think you can spend all your time thinking about your post counters. Jeez, kids today...

[chrisjk]

Well symbols don't bother me that much, the ICQ-style conversations in General do

I'm telling you, once and for all no further correspondence to be entered into, that you WILL lose a lot. It HAS happened before.

Do what you will with that information.

[filburt1]

What do you mean by "ICQ-style?"

[aknisely]

*snicker*

[filburt1]

Well, I don't use ICQ, AIM, MSN, or any real-time chat, so I don't understand what you mean.

[aknisely]

Then get real-time chat. I don't know anyone who doesn't, notwithstanding you.

[filburt1]

I am usually not at the same computer all the time. And since I am at work, they probably won't appreciate me dumping AIM on several computers. (Ironic, isn't it?)

[filburt1]

Oh crap, I screwed up again: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...threadid=98473

[aknisely]

Repent!! Repent your sins!!!!!!!!!

[chrisjk]

HB, you seem to be contradicting youself. You say you shouldn't even say "thank you" becaus eit inflates post count, yet you say post counts don't matter...

[aknisely]

Ah Ha!! Trickery!!

[Pix]

Threads like these make me laugh

[aknisely]

They make me cry. But whatever.

(I cut out the rest)

While you do offer help, you also seem to be just posting anywhere you could. I've seen many posts from you that seem to serve absolutely no purpose but just to sit there.

The fact that you have a high postcount and that you're 16 means nothing. People attach too much meaning to postcounts and ages and it bothers me. A high postcound just means you posted lots of stuff, but it says nothing about the content of those posts. And as far as age is concerned, being young does have advantages, and older people also have their own advantages. Younger people are easier to teach and find it easier to learn, and older people tend to have more experience behind them. Being younger does not necessarily make things harder for you. In fact, it may even make them easier.

[filburt1]

Like I said, I am getting tired of the post counter anyway.

I was being sarcastic

[aknisely]

Me too. This is so sad.

[parksie]

Threads like this make me happy I have a brain cell.

[Pix]

Yeah I know. I wonder how long it'll be before the rest cotton on and end this thread

[chrisjk]

sometimes you just have to stoop to other's levels to show them how crap they are being

If you don't agree with this thread, don't participate in it.

[chrisjk]

no, it wasn't directed at you, it was directed at those of us who saw fit to throw their 2p into the hat and say how pointless we're being.

[Ianpbaker]

Rolling on the floor laughing my arse off so bad that i think I might have followed through.

look it's the number one, let's all get heated and argue about it. two is definatley a better number than one and if you think otherwise youare all ******'s.

For christ's sake, ask mummy to pick up your rattle's and move your prams away from each other.

Hahahahaha
