Bah! What ever, I can't be bothered any more!
Vista is good, XP is good, Mac is good... It's opinion.
Well, Kornowski, it's like this. Let me try and give it some perspective. I'm not trying to insult you or anything, just trying to get us on the same page.
First.. Proving something. I'll explain why it came across as illogical to me. To feel the need to prove something, one would logically have to assess that there would be a benefit in doing so, and that the cost would be worth the benefit.
You and I are nobodies. Yeah, you might have a small circle of influence, but you're a nobody in the grand scheme of things. The same holds true for me. There's no benefit in proving anything to you, PCeye, Intelcrazy or anyone. The cost is high, particularly in time lost, and there's nothing to gain in return. A little clout on a message board maybe? Big deal. At the end of the day, a message board doesn't matter a damn.
So get over yourself.
Second, I aspire to success. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm working my butt off to get there, and it's happening. Whether some teenager on the other side of the globe sees that, or some blubbering old fool in his basement in a different country sees that, is immaterial.
What matters is that I see that. That the people I work with and work for see that.
Success has nothing to prove. Success is what it is and I am what I am. People that are successful know success when they see it. You, Kornowski, are not successful. Imsati is not successful (in business anyways). PCeye is not successful. And ultimately, I only want to be in intimate conversation with those that are. The reason is that there's a lot to learn from them and it helps me achieve my end goal.
My goal is success in my business. Even my girlfriend takes second place to that and she knows it.
Now hopefully you know why what you said makes no sense to me. I work hard, I don't kiss butt and I pay my own way.
I state on a message board "this is my experience" to which some bumbling old fool breaks in with raucous comments, calling me a liar, stating I started at 14 and bashing Commodores. Can you see just how utterly stupid and ridiculous that is? I don't have time for fools anymore. Yes, I've spent more time than I should have in the past confronting idiots like that, but that time has come and gone for the most part. All it did was detract me from my end goal... Provided a distraction. In the end he's a waste of time, energy and finger effort.
Sharing my experience with WD and some immature little brat comes up and takes it as a personal attack, slamming me for attacking him, PCeye and others. The absurd thing was that he really thought I cared. I don't. Sorry. I shared that with people in hopes that they could learn something from it. The smart ones will. The fools will take it as an attack. Again, it's immaterial.
There is nothing to prove. You contribute absolutely nothing to my bottom line, same with PCeye, same with Intelcrazy, same with Imsati, same with others. The mature ones, the successful ones. They know. They understand. They speak less, listen more. Those are the people I generally associate with. They have wisdom. Some raucous old fool bragging about post counts isn't worth the wasted time reading their contribution.
I hope that makes sense. Success allows you to determine your own path. Who you associate with, who you date, what you buy, who you work for. Failure relegates you to attacking it in a forum.
Which would you rather emulate? Which would you rather aspire to?
A discussion, such as this, is not a "debate", it's not a "war", there are no "winners". When you think like that you become a babbling fool and you learn nothing. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
In the future, rather than making assumptions, ask questions. You'll get much further ahead.... And if that makes no sense to you then there's not much more I can say.
