Which doesn't prevent Crackpot-GR and his sucker Private Fluffer from doing more damage and harassment.

Too true! Can you suggest a solution apart from what many would like to do? Besides getting four strong horses at short notice is a real hassle.

Just putting them on ignore is not enough, you ought to watch your back, too.

Meh, mere numbskulls are no cause for paranoia.

I hope that private fluffer jibe wasn't directed at me.

dont mention that steve. your 65 posts is what you need to be out of trouble. people talking about respect... and they showed "good" example. yes, some places, got history too, and slight reflection of it can still be seen today (only ladies made assumption and deny it). maybe we should act like "know it all" and only made a post to slam other people, just to prove how good we are. i dont give a fuck to any racists!

NEW SLOGAN: POST TO SLAM, CONTRIBUTE NOTHING!

hear that! say it! before this thread got locked up!

[PStevenson]

I'm not sure what the 65 posts thing means but I have been a member for almost a year my lack of posting is due precisely because various arrogant people
feel the need to use this place to keyboard warrior each other.
BoredAtWork has verbally attacked me before for no reason.

I was talking to Kiriakos, I wasn't insulting any of you so why don't you go and do some actual electronics and pour your bile elsewhere - the internet isn't your own torment headfuck playground. grow up

I dont want to get that "private fluffer" status but i can say i definately enjoy posts from BoredAtWork, i consider him one of best and most interesting posters here

[david77]

It is funny how some people moan and moan about other people but instead of just
simply ignoring them - as they claim they do like a broken record - they feel the need to spread their
comments around anyway, annoying other users and giving the place a bad vibe.

Why not just grow up and shut up about it and get on with your lives? Is it really worth it?

now the Uncle is going to be in your fav list too? i do like BAW most of the time too, his posts are a funny joke, but sometime he crossed the line IMHO. thats what he is i think... "bored at work". you considered him as "best"? based on what? based on faith?

It is funny how some people moan and moan about other people but instead of just.....

now you're starting! felt the urge donchya? now my advice, is keep your #ofpost down while you can before someone start to get pissed off at you. dont let yourself be in my situation or that "charming" Kiriakos. # of post is the netcop's top wathclist.

We all have our criteria

Somewhat inept at following your own directives?

This topic has turned somewhat toxic  .

I personally would love to review certain products from a student's perspective but I doubt any manufacturer's would like to see a review from a student since most of their sales come from professionals.

Oh well, a man can dream  .

it might be worth trying because when I was a student I wanted to hear about things from other students - professionals used terminology I didn't yet understand so you never know they may be up for it

[MBY]

I'd like to see a full video and teardown on it from Dave. His brand of reviewing is what I love seeing most as it's extremely informative and still lets you sit back and enjoy it. Personally I'd love to hear his opinion on this.

If anyone is willing to do a video on it that'd be awesome. Pictures just don't do it for me anymore ;(.

Thank you. The manual doesn't say explicitly but it does not look good as only voltage is mentioned. Well, I hope that you try it if and when you receive your review unit!

Hi MBY .
Well about this unit I am very excited, mostly because it would be my first Oscilloscope/DMM.
As soon it arrives, I would test it at my best,  and every one is welcome to ask questions up-front,
so to create my to-do list.

Because of this new to me situation, like testing the oscilloscope part, many home boys of my,
are willing to help me out with advices , or even by offering to me for the testing period, equipment like professional signal generators,
and anything that I will possibly need.   

I feel all ready like the Leonidas with the 300 in his side

Dear Kiriakos:

--Congratulations on your latest success in getting the O'scope/DMM for review. You are building a substantial body of honest work in these pages. Also I am sure that everyone (make that nearly everyone) really appreciates your going to the trouble of posting so many pictures in your threads. I particularly like it when you rescue old classic instruments and bring them back up to snuff.

--I have devised a scoring system for how interesting and valuable your posts are. What I do is to count the negative, profane, and hateful comments by Frick, Frack, and their latest acolyte at the Trollhouse Dojo; Fudd. I score this thread a Four, so far.

--Frick is using his usual disgusting profane spittle flecked gibbering hatred, rather than posting anything useful to anyone; the better to tart up his erstwhile game of watch pocket snooker, no doubt.

--Frack has had several people disagree with him in this thread; more fodder for his ever burgeoning "ignore list". Indeed it is pequliar; he never really ignores anyone on his ignore list, and pops in with irrational disjointed nonsequitur when ever they are mentioned, and begs and pleads for everyone else to put the myriad offenders on their ignore lists.

--And lastly the redoubtable Fudd has rung in again, this this time with weally weally large printing fonts, to show that he is weally weally angwee. Last time out he managed to achieve something even Frick himself has not been able to achieve; he got some of his scabrous evacuations zapped by the instrumentality. Now, with the gigantic fonts, feh.

--Indeed, these fellows seem to always be reacting rather than acting, no?

--Oh Waiter! Please get each of these gentlemen [sic] a rolling donut, and put it on my bill.

Those who enjoy drip feed postal updates...

Posting 3300+ post with about 80 useful ones is not an easy job! Good thing they are done and done with this tho.

[SgtRock]

Dear Wartex:

--Thanks for the interesting post. It must have been a lot of work to peruse 3000 plus posts. Thanks for the Wiki link, it is good to now something of your interests. Also, thanks for the spam link to the Drywaller's Blog.

--Oh, Waiter! Another rolling donut for short eyes here.

Not everyone will like everyone but are baseless crude personal attacks necessary?

Just saying, if you're going to attack the guy, attack his posts directly by quoting him and pointing out what's wrong with his ideas, no need for those kinds of posts IMO.

A lot more necessary than reams of pointless postal updates and misguided self promotion!

All true , but  the discovery of new things, Its an sweet adventure too. 
And ultra educational.

According to EEVblog #15 Part 1 & 2 - Fluke 189_289 videos,
It looks that there is some important details that they must see the light.

My own first reaction about CEM high-end models that looks similar to some known Fluke models was that CEM is the one who started to make Fluke clones, and according to what Dave Jones says by looking the service manual of  the specific 189II/ 289 models, they do not use any proprietary chipsets of Fluke.

Those Fluke units use parts from LINEAR Technologies and from Analogue Devices, and the converter is the LTC2410.

LINEAR Technologies are also the maker of my own reference DC source of 10V.
 
And the point is that now that I am aware of this information’s, the first impression about the cloning story does not stand any more.

Any one is free to buy parts of the shelf and do what ever he likes.
He could be an individual or a company, what difference it makes?

As a positive thinking technician and end-user, I wish good luck to CEM, about completing their latest high-end multimeters.

Some extra competition in the market always helps pricing to possibly drop, and even better products to show up.
Not to say that some extra competition will possibly drop further even the pricing of the Fluke forms software.   

Unfortunately, CEM does not monitor this thread, I never told them to join at EEV, but even so, this new technical information will help out local community, to form a wider view about the product offerings.

I was actually one of the first victims, who had step-on on this banana leaf and fall, from now and on I would be even more cautious.
 
I like to believe that in three weeks the most (from today 22 November) I will have my tracking code, and everything will move as planned.
