--- Quote from: Brumby on June 04, 2020, 11:54:27 am ---I followed Simon's lead and had a read of some of your posts. This one made me chuckle.... --- Quote from: eti ---You know absolutely nothing about me or my true views --- End quote --- We have seen this many times before and the reactions you get from "grumpy, miserable, nit-picking old gits" are a direct response to how you present yourself. Your words reveal quite a bit about you - more than you realise and most certainly more than you would ever care to admit. I'll leave you to object, but I'm inclined to agree with this: --- Quote from: Simon on June 04, 2020, 08:26:18 am ---Maybe your just not into electronics really. --- End quote --- (... and for the life of me, I can't seem to find a passive-aggressive, permanently disgruntled Brit Aussie emoji) --- End quote --- I'll be the first to admit I like a good rant, and then reflect back upon them later, thinking "why didn't I just say nothing?" I am very much "into" electronics; if you have some way of guauging the interest level of total strangers, maybe you could make some money by patenting it; marketing folks would pay handsomely for it. :) Sorry for the sporadic, nonsensical mind-dumps; I shall endeavour to curb them! |

--- Quote from: EEVblog on June 04, 2020, 11:42:48 am ---You posted a thread titled "Modern "music" is shite" and gems like: "Can't stand "banter" - esp the dimwit kind" "Retail products (food, consumables) qty shrinking, price THE SAME! (no surprise)" Please stop it, we are not going to let this forum turn into a general chat forum, I've seen good forums destroyed by this. And those with a history of starting off-topic threads get clamped down harder on. --- End quote --- Fair, and I am sorry for polluting - you make good points. I hope you don't hold it against me :) |

Not that he is PERMANENTLY disgruntled, but he blows off steam quite a bit, is quite well known, and ... well, why not! |
