Yes, that sort of thing happens a lot, and not just about this. It is so weird - people working so hard to make sure that they are going to be unhappy or upset.
Good idea. I work very hard to make sure that I'm able to be happy and satisfied about the things I do. I think that's much better than working so hard to make sure one is going to be disappointed.
Maybe it is generational. I'm old enough to remember the rules about reading an online thread before posting a message to it. I guess those rules don't exist anymore.
Not really the case because people just jump in and ask the question without reading the many posts already in the thread about AC. Just goes to show that people are lazy and would rather just ask a repetitive question than look for answers.
While you can certainly ignore things you don't want to read it's hard to find new topics that are relevant because of all the repetitive questions! You have to read part of every message to know what it's talking about.
Thanks. As you can see though, some people just won't let up.
the question in question, it was a perfectly valid one about whether the ventilation on the gondola would actually be cooling on a hot day or just force hot air in. No, I meant that it actually used to be a common rule on discussion forums, perhaps before the DIS boards even existed. It was called "smeeking".
Understood. When I posted the first message about it it hadn't occurred to me that that rule doesn't apply anymore. That kind of thing has happened a lot as I've gotten older.
That is very true, though even asking a new question and getting a new answer might result in incorrect information.
Yes. So much is speculation.
I agree but one of the great features about the search function on this board is that it displays results from the most recently posted then back in time! It’s a wonderful feature that not all know about. I was just trying to share how it works as often it provides great information in a matter of seconds as opposed to asking a question that may have already been asked and hoping the person who responds first has accurate information. It’s a great way to scan recent conversations about the exact thing you’re wondering about and truly is a great feature of the enhancements DISBoards just made!!
I find the search feature helpful when I’m looking for a specific thread title. But in searching this thread, I mostly get a mish mash of irrelevant information when I plug in key words. YMMV.
