website woes

[Bruce]

Dear Darell,
Please feel free to use the *mouse*, and explore the web site.
If your time is so limited as to not be able to review the archives, you
might want to put off, learning anything EFI related, because it is all time
consuming.   Picking your way thru just learn enough to allegedly get by
with, will just be cheating yourself, and possiblely do damage to your
engine.
   After your remarks to Bob, I know I won't have enough time to respond to
your musings.
Bruce

Ya know, I really hate being treated like an idiot, because, IMHO, I am not.
That was NOT my meaning. I guess I should have been more specific. To people
like you who have been on the list for months/years, all this stuff is
glaringly obvious because you know it already. To us poor newbies who don't
know the website inside and out, it is most certainly not obvious.

I meant what I said. It will still take hours/weeks that I don't really have
to sift through all this stuff, even with editors with search features. I
don't know what part set you off, but you're obviously a bit touchy about
something. Most people on the list gave some good advice and were not rude
and obnoxious like you.

Well, I'll try not to be an "ignoranus" (I don't know whether the spelling
mistake was intentional or not, considering the rest of your comments I'll
assume it was) and even though you don't really deserve it, thank you for
the information. Why didn't you just say so in the first place, without all
the preaching. Again, searching around the website wouldn't have done me
much good, since the filename gmecm00.zip is not very self explanatory, not
to mention why I would look in the "incoming" files directory for the list
archives in the first place...

I think it best for all concerned if you just put me on your "ignore" list.
That way, you won't have to deal with any of my "ignoranus" questions, and I
wont have to deal with your rude and obnoxious replies. I know that's what
I'm going to do.
