Perhaps **machinehead** , you should go take a walk outside or take a deep breath instead of pedantically lashing out at anyone who disagrees with you. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MachineHead \* > \*\*I noticed Brian has yet to post. > Strangeness. \*\* Possibly because the thread has been up for slightly less than an hour and a half and some people have better things to do than run a vanity search every hour on the hour? Like, you know, possibly be at work or asleep or doing groceries and not even be in the same building as their computer at the moment? :rolleyes: ---

I’ve seen atleast three of his posts appear while this was up. On a thread right below it and a couple above it, no less. ---

**Machinehead** , that being the case, perhaps he simply isn’t interested in what you have to say. Og knows, I’m wondering why I opened this thread again. And what, you’re stalking him from thread to thread now? I _am_ amused. ---

Brian doesn’t seem to be the one being a jackass to people right now. ---

Btw here’s a tip. If the little checkbox looking thing next to the profile button below is yellow, that means the person is currently logged in. Go find a post of Brian’s and you will see if he’s on. ---

I have only defended myself. Nothing more, nothing less. If people decide to be jackasses to me, that is their choice. ---

Seriously, how have I gone three years without knowing that! **WE** , lots of times I just want to give you a good hard noogie, but right now you’re my hero for the day. 🙂 As for the OP–eh, **Bryan** was a bit snippy–I mean, if the OP interests you _so_ little, why bother responding at all? And as has already been pointed out, the “newb” in question wasn’t even all that new and actually had a valid point. That’s my .02$ anyway–do I get change? ---
