Its not 'this topic' again. Big difference. Top posting
verse bottom posting is only peripheral. Onideus Mad Hatter violates multiple principles. First he criticizes because he perfered an inferior posting method - his intolerance. Second, his repeated use of useless, irelevant and indecent, four letter words. Third, he uses those words to insult others. No wonder he would demand that others do silly bottom posts. The discussion is not about top verse bottom posting. The post is about the character and intent of Onideus Mad Hatter - a discussion that would never happen if he had just learned to be tolerant and silent. Then his language would not have become a discussion issue. Even if you don't care - top verse bottom posting - the language and insults from Onideus Mad Hatter are the issue. kony wrote: Oh no, not THIS topic again! |

I wasn't being insulting I was being honest. Here is an example of the language used by a bottom poster. "are just retarded but uh, STOP THE ****ING TOP POSTING!" And I back my opinions up with reason example and evidence. You are incapable of defending bottom posting which is why you didn't ever try to. Indeed you rather low and cowardly and snipping my arguement from you response is about as much as I come to expect from bottom posters. Some of the jumped up little hitlers even have the audacity to tell people to stop top posting in a public group would you believe? So manners is another quality they lack.

Clearly that is supposed to be representative of bottom posters in general. With all that damning evidence it's perfectly clear, we should just burn all bottom-posters at the stake! And I back my opinions up with reason example and evidence. You are incapable of defending bottom posting which is why you didn't ever try to. There are some topics that are a waste of time to discuss with someone who can't even distinguish between a troll and millions of other usenet participants. Indeed you rather low and cowardly and snipping my arguement from you response is about as much as I come to expect from bottom posters. Did you think you could effectively insult someone after doing nothing to prove yourself more than a loon? Some of the jumped up little hitlers even have the audacity to tell people to stop top posting in a public group would you believe? So manners is another quality they lack. LOL, little hitlers! I nominate you to be the alt.comp.hardware Jester. |

I only responsed to a rather abusive poster, with far milder language
and I didn't respond directly to that poster either IIRC. Its obviously a crack your eggs at the top or bottom issue, so reason does not come into it. If you read a lot of posts it's much easier to see top posters in OE because the text is at the top and you can read it with one click with out having to scroll down 5 pages to read a one line comment. So I fail to see why *some* bottom posters get so annoyed by it. And if you read my posts carefully, if I insulted any BP's it was those who were "the ignorant insulting bossy type" not BP's in general. You yourself appear to have placed yourself in that category, not me, unless you are the hatters sock puppet. So I guess you have insulted yourself and will not be giving yourself any of your learned wisdom. So.... given your apparent lack of ability to comprehend the logic of a post I am unsure how much I miss your lack on input, backed by a wealth logical analaysis, on any of my problems. Having said that, were the situation reversed I think I would be happy to help anyone even if they had insulted me, unless it was excessive and particularly vile. After all it would prove their opinion of me was unfounded. And I was reffering to bottom posters who complain excessively and rudely, with out any arguement to validate there complaint. Futher more if I wanted your advice I could post under a different id. That won't be happening. half_pint.

I accept your comments about the hatter, I found his first (well
a couple of them actually) post to me rather abusive however thats just some peoples way and it doesn't bother me really. I think what people have to say is more important than how they said it and what he said sounded pretty logical to me, although it remains to be seen whether he was correct or not. I don't judge books by the cover, well not unless I have read the first chapter I guess ;O) Bottom posting may be the accepted 'norm' but it usually how inexperienced posters post I find. I found top posting rather unusual at first but I soon realised the great benefits of it. Burning witches was once the accepted norm, as did the belief that the earth is flat and that the sun revolved around the earth. So your 'accepted norm' theory holds little water with a heretic like me. half_pint. "~misfit~" wrote in message ... w_tom wrote: Its not 'this topic' again. Big difference.

Did shop first verify DC voltages? Your failures are classic of a power supply that is constantly outputting low DC voltage or excessive ripple voltage. In that other thread cited by half_pint are further details and a procedure. In the meantime, intermittent hardware can run diagnostics fine all day and night. But once that defective hardware runs same diagnostics in a 100 degree F room or while selected components are heated by a hairdryer on high, only then are the defects located. Meanwhile, I assume this is XP? Then what did system (event) logs report? BIOS should have no effect on your problem since BIOS is supplemented by OS once system boots. If this is an NT based OS, then list of hardware reasons for failure is sharply diminished. In the meantime, you have three things to do: voltage measurements, comprehensive diagnostics at elevated temperature, and system log information. OK, the OS is Windows 2000 Pro, with both Hard Drives formatted in NTFS. I dont want to go into Top and Bottom posting debate, I just want my machine fixing... As I mentioned before, the only components I've left to replace are the CPU, Motherboard and PSU, I'm off to buy another PSU and CPU today (Funds permitting)...I'll let you know how I get along.!! |

I found top posting rather unusual at first but I soon realised the great benefits of it. I find totally the opposite, pretty much universally. Inexperienced posters, usually using OE, click the "Reply Group" button and the cursor is flashing at the top, so that's where they write. Laziness and lack of education is why most top-posters top-post. I see that you used to bottom-post without fail, for at least two years, right up until early this year. Are you like a reformed smoker? Or a born-again christian? Also, certain groups have certain ways of doing things. I know of several groups where top-posting is the norm, 95% of the posts are top-posts. When I post in those groups I top-post. Then there are other groups where bottom-posting is the accepted way of doing things. Out of courtesy for the other posters I bottom-post in those groups (this being one of them). Burning witches was once the accepted norm, as did the belief that the earth is flat and that the sun revolved around the earth. So your 'accepted norm' theory holds little water with a heretic like me. So we dissagree, no big deal. There's no need to bring religious symbolism into it or get all emotional. Carry on top-posting and I'll ignore you from now on as you don't have the common decency to adhere to the "When in Rome...." school of thought. Good luck with your power button. -- ~misfit~ |
