What annoys you?

[Britton30]

Should I be annoyed that I have done 18 out of the last 20 analyses in the crashes and debugging forum?

Before anyone takes that personally, I want to say that I have the utmost respect for everyone who helps in that forum. Just venting a little...

Where did everyone go? there used to be 2-3 regulars doing that. I respect anyone who can make sense of a dump file's Klingon language. Panais has been doing a few too.

People that still try to bash 7 in favor of XP.


When you find the recent post on these forums, you'll know what i'm talking about.
I didn't post in the thread, but it was tempting. Thought better of it though. Tear-assing a guy in someone else's thread just don't seem right.


BUT....like I said, it was tempting

Everyone knows that you are taking care of the crashes so they spend their time where they are needed.

That is actually what surprised me. It seemed like all the usual helpers decided to take most of the day off at the same time. I think I was the only one in the forum for 5-6 hours today. I'm sure it happens to each of us from time to time, though. I probably just needed to vent and take a little break. I feel better now.

That forum can be brutal with the turnaround and rate of newcomers at times. I usually enjoy that aspect, but it starts to get overwhelming after hours of doing it.

Edit: Now I feel a bit like a jerk. One of the members who provides top notch help in that forum had eye surgery recently... Guess I should be glad I was able to fill in a bit today. Certainly feel better about the work I did earlier. Now I'm annoyed with myself for venting, though. So what annoys me right now? Me. I annoy me.

Everyone knows that you are taking care of the crashes so they spend their time where they are needed.

Glad everyone has so much faith in me, lol.

My suggestion is to never talk down to anyone , who's come to ask for much needed help.
Thanks to all who do volunteer to help out on all the boards W7F.

Boredom.

Can't imagine you being bored J me I am the opposite

I'm not bored too often, but sometimes I just sit there with absolutely nothing to do. :huh:

Couldn't have put it better myself!

You did exactly the right thing. There has been a vent thread running for over a year now. The first one which I started was aimed a little too directly at clueless OP's while this one was designed to be more general.

But those who work here need a way to depressurize on site with others to commiserate and hash out coping methods. Some of us work in multiple threads daily where the OS's life and death depends upon our steps being followed closely - by an OP who may or may not be fully competent, lazy, uncooperative, or struggling to understand.

All of us hope for teamwork in the threads to support one another, but when we feel abandoned, frustrated, stepped on, or otherwise need a break, we are fortunate to have an onsite social option that the other tech forums don't - not to mention the jukebox!

Well put Greg on the money there my friend as I am one of the not fully competent and struggling to understand.

I understand hardware to a point and ways of "fixing" bits where they can but the in depth program stuff I do find a tad baffling.

 

[gregrocker]

By incompetent I was in-artfully referring to OP who is learning disabled or from a generation which apparently had Attention Deficit induced somehow.

By no means does that apply to you.

 

[mjf]

Everyone is clueless in something at some stage. I don't have a problem with OPs who admit a degree of ignorance and want a few tips.
All I'd like from an OP is a little appreciation and when to know it's time to move on and maybe let someone else do the job.

No mate if it was me you were referring to I didn't take it as me being incompetent (there would be a lot of dead people around if I were lol!!) I meant purely not competent with computing which I admit I am not not

Yeah MJF I always appreciate tips and advice especially in here as I have copped a hiding to nothing on other forums at times and I have to say that you (and many others) have always helped me out in the past without making me feel a ruddy fool
I feel a bit guilty in a sense as I can not offer much in return

Sorry about that.

But it seems that I'm rarely online when the waves of Crashes and Debugging posts come. I live in Australia which means I'm quite a few hours ahead of America. A fair amount of Windows 7 users are American so if any American users post BSOD threads then I'll most likely be asleep (or busy). I might also note that Jan (JMH) is Aussie too but she's usually up late so it might not affect her as much as me.

I do try and post where I can though.

No problem. As I said, I was just looking to vent a little. I wasn't really mad at anyone; I was feeling the pressure of helping for so many hours straight. I appreciate all the work you do and understand the time difference. I imagine there are times when you still get quite a few threads from that part of the world or from night owls in the US.

Thanks for caring. Also, thank you for all you do to help on these forums.
