I've been on the `net since the mid-80s, back when Usenet was the only venue for this kind of interaction. My boss at the time cautioned me regarding technical advice offered on Usenet: that "most of it is wrong." Keeping that in mind for the past thirty years has served me well despite changes in venues. 
On the flip side, I try hard to *not* be wrong when I offer advice. But the nature of written communication limits what can be inferred and subsequently expressed, especially when so many things can conceivably affect the outcome of any particular problem... 
Good luck. I hope you get some resolution on this. |
Good post TDD. I''ll make an OT comment, there really are some great personalities and very knowledgeable helpful people here - yourself, moff, benoni, darryl and many many others. It really is a good forum albeit slowing down as 11R loses steam. Regarding advice: I'm not batting 1.000 here - which totally embarrasses me, but if I'm off on something I try and admit it. A portion of my background is technical work and I really strive to be accurate.
Very true regarding the limitations of written communication.
