Ah, so you waited fourteen and a half hours after the OP said the problem was resolved to append a “just google it” comment which was totally irrelevant to the question at hand. How helpful. Perhaps I should apply this technique to every single thread in GQ. I bet I could rack up a heck of a post count.
“Use a search engine.”
“I bet you could find that in Windows Help.”
“What kind of computer do you have? Maybe if it were a Dell it would work.”
I may as well be typing with my keyboard disconnected from the computer for all the good this will do, but like Scarlett67 I have also noticed that he’s been drifting back to his old ways.
Witness this solid gold post in my thread about red dots showing up during Adult Swim broadcasts:
:smack:
Unfortunately friedo beat me to the punch:
Still waiting for Handy to drop by and admit his error…
I like to mentally rate handy’s posts on the 10 point Handy Scale. The ubiquitous “just Google it” only gets a 5 on the scale. The exceedingly rare post that is both on point and actually adds new information, gets a 1. Dooku’s example would probably rate about 7. (Hard to tell without actually reading the thread). Generally the more out of the blue and useless the comment, the higher the score. I even apply the scale to my own posts, when I feel myself drifting into handy territory. This post, for example, probably gets a 3 or 4.
I keep hoping his style of drive-by will be deemed by the mods as “being a jerk” or at the very least he’ll be banished from legal threads the same way he was banished from medical ones.
