The poll (well one of them) is here -
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=67544&st=0&sk=t&sd= ... topic+poll
To the reader: So you need to ask yourself when someone doesn't put "ON Topic" in the subject line - why does it bother me?
Is it right to make new rules to satisfy me when I don't agree with something or should I take a poll. Maybe should I just delete what I don't agree with?
Need something to wash that corn down?

gumby mustve done something else to make the masses mad. this is an example of gang behavior ems didnt know she was upset until she saw others were making a big deal of nothing.

what kind of behavior is this?

And then sometimes there are principles, even though arguably correct, that are are of sufficiently low importance that the loss of goodwill in defending them, defending them is not wise nor worth it. The benefit gained by being right is far outweighed by the loss from angering those around you. We all occasionally have to realize that to, "Win the battle but lose the war," isn't smart. Whether or not one should, or must, use OT falls in this category, IMO.

The first line of his post is a "* you if you don't like it" statement.
The Alzheimer's must be in full force today. It's time to take away the computer.

It's more than that. It's an * saying that the rules don't apply to him.

By that lame logic buying a computer at Best Buy is forum-related since you need a computer to access the forum.
ems:

> What's the big deal?
People with huge egos often believe that rules are for "the little people" and don't apply to them.
Actually, there was a news report this week from a university saying _exactly_ that.
lrt:
> so you do know that your _race track fire_ and this should be marked OT.
Correct, he didn't mark the race track fire post as OT either.
Waiting for a "race track fires have something to do with forum use" post.
The sad part is that people who are new to this forum see the OT stuff and don't return.
They are, after all, looking for _medical_ advice.
Do the math.
About a gazillion websites for/about computer usage.
Few websites for OSA.
And none as good as this one.

Why all the piling on Gumby? I don't see people getting this irritated with others who neglect this supposed "rule".
Besides, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's off topic, and what isn't.

Re: Five pieces of scamware to watch out for
I am an old member..seldom did post much, but still check in almost daily. I am always amused at the people who get uptight because of some OT or because it wasn't marked as such !Or even some of the other rants I have seen. Between being old and having worked with the public for 45 years I come to the conclusion that most people take theirselves to seriously. I rather enjoy the OTS that show up or even the ones that are surprises ! Anyone remember a few years back when one of our regulars posted some jokes about old people and it started a whole batch of jokes. Comedy central with CPAP masks ! I work daily with people that are going blind so that makes some of the compaints on here seem trivial !
Happy Breathing to you all !
