Because we've definitely entered the twilight zone with Wanderlusty Uncle Nicko trying to get at CPAPtalk and Brother Palerider . . .

Not appropriate.
Just sayin'.
I will no longer be giving SleepHQ-associated matters any benefit of the doubt, myself.
Hey, just me.
right there with you.
but the question remains....what happens when sleephq users come here for advice on the charts generated by sleephq?
i'm assuming that the good folks here who can help out by divining charts (hat tip to jlfinkels!) will continue to help, no matter what the source of said charts?
hmmm?
Ewwww that was just weird. I didn’t really think that was nicko posting over here being so rude but now I am convinced.
We could thank him if his shout out brings legit peeps looking for help.
It won’t be particularly helpful if it leads a bunch if jerks over here to harass posters over here.
You know what would be a best outcome?
If Oscar charts could more easily be posted here. Surely the ability to link online is not proprietary and copywritten?

Here's some advice you can trust. One day you're gonna look back and think... Holy shit! I wasted half my life in a CPAP forum bitching like a little school girl about an Aussie Youtuber who has caused me no harm. I'm truly honoured that you're on here talking about me every day but come on guys, stop wasting your lives. It's pathetic. Here's a link to a forum you will all enjoy - spam
What an asshole.
I actually agree with you.
A day that will live in infamy.
One that warms my cold little heart

It's not difficult, if only people would *read* the READ THIS BEFORE POSTING post, or the 'organizing Oscar charts' on the wiki.

Risking backlash after such a kumbaya day, it was a serious and legitimate wish list.
IMO that single feature is the biggest thing that sets the two apart (giving due to the superiority of the actual oscar software and graphs. )
I know you guys did a lot to get oscar up and running and don’t want you to pull a nicko over a constructive “ask”. I don’t know how hard it is to create such a feature, I admit.
I am just stating that it is the one improvement as far as board posting that would be the icing on the cake so to speak. If it would require web space to upload onto, perhaps a gofundme that the good folks of this board would be willing to donate to. I would.
Just a thought.

Speaking as someone who knows what's involved in your idea, the short answer is "no". The long answer is way more than I feel like trying to explain.

Thanks. I figured it was complicated and the idea of the software was likely never intended to be so complicated. To me, however, it is the main obstacle to using it to regularly post on the board.
Appreciate that you took time to reply with some continuing semblance of kumbaya.

Yeah, I'm just going to continue recommending Oscar, the people behind it are honorable, and not just out to make a buck off of apnea sufferers.
Well said.
And let's also add a word of thanks to the honorable people who created this free forum, which is sponsored by
www.cpap.com who sell cpap equipment to apnea sufferers and who let us discuss anything and everything including their competitors. No editorial meddling, no closing threads because they may have an impact of their revenue.
All of us who have been helped by advice on this forum also owe a debt of gratitude the people who made this
free forum exist.
You make a very valid point! They could very easily have made it so that poster could not mention competitors, special offers from others, etc.

Yes, Caddyshack is a classic.
I almost forgot about the water ballet.
But not the prank in the pool.
