How convenient, Fyron - you get called on your actions, and you want to drop it, stating how a duplicate answer would waste people's time.

Not like your own off-topic posts here didn't already do just that!

[Fyron]

My actions of answering your questions? Twice now you have accused me of not answering them, but both times you have been clearly wrong after a cursory glance at the duplicate posts in question. At least bother to look at the threads before posting ad hominems.

Perhaps you should as well, dear Fyron.

If you read, carefully, what I said here you'll see I state that you have complained about this kind of post wasting people's time, and yet have you wasted more such time in this post yourself with your own off-topic gripes and snipes.

While you did indeed post a link, to your own answer in your own forum, you also chose not to simply leave it at that. Rather, you have managed to turn this into something much different than it needed to be. I called you on, because I believe in calling a hypocrite into the light.

You can't gain a lot a credibility if you complain that one type of action is a waste of people's time, and not accept that another, even one done by yourself, is equally guilty. Despite your supposed "reputation" in these circles.

In truth, if you felt this was a waste of your time, it would've been simpler and more reasonable to just ignore it and move on. I'm certain 90% of anyone else who looked this over and didn't care to answer did just that. Knowing, as you do, that I myself in particular post in this manner you also were well aware of the situation here before you ever decided to soapbox about it in this post.

That is more a "control" related issue than anything else, simply put.

As I understand it, the issue at hand could be trivially resolved by simply posting links to the other forum posts in each of the posts.
That way everyone can see the whole discussion.

Is there any outstanding problem with that?

[Black_Knyght]

In truth, for me the issue was mainly the hypocrisy of complaining about wasting someone's time with needless posts, while doing virtually the same with a series of off-topic gripes and snipes unrelated to the post at hand.

In reviewing all of this, suddenly I'm reminded of a thing my grandfather once said - "Never try to reason with a mule. It only aggravates the mule, and just wastes your time"

Also,I'd like to take a moment to state my appreciation and thanks to any and all who have, and may yet, helpfully answer any questions I've had or will have.
