Cutting Store-Bought Xmas Light Strand to Length
Halcyon:
I've banned the above user and the OP in this thread (who are actually the same person).
Who would have thought that being abusive to moderators via PM would bring you under notice? I don't know about you guys, but this bloke has been abrasive from the start and really doesn't fit within the community here. Until he matures and starts wearing his big boy pants, I think he'll continue to cause trouble.
No doubt he'll be back to have the "final word", trying to hide under various VPNs, browsers etc...
ataradov:
That's a weird turn of events. What would even be the point of this?

Pretending to be another person, responding to his own thread, just to "stick it to the mods" and get caught in the process?
I'm not exactly sure, it seems like an awful lot of effort to go to. Just one of those "special" users I suppose?
IanB:
The post is not even sincere.
The product packaging clearly says all the other lamps will remain lit if you remove one of them.
Yet the post above suggests to count the lamps that go out if you pull a lamp from its socket.
So yeah. Just trying to yank everyone's chains it seems.
Brumby:
What I find "amusing" is that from the OP's original post (is that a tautology?) those who have some knowledge on the subject will have observed a certain level of technical ability and that it would seem the OP has made their best effort, but to no avail. As such, without some hard reference - such as a sample, a wiring diagram or at least some photos - makes assistance via a text medium pretty dang impossible ...
The clincher is the post from the alter-ego which sounds like a detailed description of the actual path the OP had already travelled.
I find it hard to believe in their efforts they didn't come across some details that may have given us half a chance at working with them towards a solution, but, no. They just threw up their hands and expected to be spoon fed. If someone wants help and makes an honest effort, then I will happily assist as best as my skills and time allow - and I know many members here are the same.
But having a tantrum because their expectations are not fulfilled by people who lend their experience and time for free, just demonstrates their sense of entitlement and lack of maturity.

While we may hope, from my experience ... don't hold your breath.
