Do you even read what you write?
Well, what you did not understand this time? I'll be glad to help you.
Why did you try to justify saying "FEers" are kind and friendly by providing guesses and suggestions, but cited an example of such guesses and suggestions, and then saying you didn't care if it came from an FEer or not?
Seems inconsistent, as though you just rattle stuff off without really thinking about it; that's all.
I tried to explain this the first time; maybe that wasn't clear enough for you.
[Note:] You want to put your response after the outermost [/quote] tag of whatever it is you're responding to. Again, sloppy. If you reviewed what you write, things like this can be avoided.
[Edit] Formatting.
I see. Perhaps, there are two main reasons for your confusion:
(1) you do not even read what you write;
(2) you do not read my posts, either.
For example:
"saying you didn't care if it came from an FEer or not?"
I did not say that.
Sloppy, eh? Look above what you have produced yourself.
You want to put your response after the outermost "[/quote]" tag of whatever it is you're responding to.
Well, that was a mess. The [/quote] embedded in the quoted text screwed up your formatting. I wondered if that would happen. I fixed the embedded quotes for you by altering the [/quote] tags so it's not so confusing for your readers; I hope you don't mind.
"If you reviewed what you write, things like this can be avoided."
Yep, exactly.
Exactly what? You can't keep your response distinct from the text you're quoting? Yeah, I already commented about that.
You did it again, too. So, to repeat and amplify:
If you reviewed what you write, mistakes like this can be avoided, or at least corrected.
If I am not mistaken, you started with talking about a promotion that did not happen. It looks like even when you're trying to read something, you are not able to understand that.
It's only possible to read what you actually post, not what you think you know what you meant to say. When your posts are error-laden, they lose their ability to convey clear meaning.
Anyway, if my posts make you uncomfortable, just stop reading them. I would not mind.
On the contrary. They are entertaining. I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I did ignore them, however.
In contrast to some other folks, you have failed to produce a single interesting idea or suggestion. Thanks for your awkward attempt to contribute, though; I appreciate your interest to the topic.
I wish there were a way to present my ideas in a way you find understandable. There's only so much anyone can do.
Did you even look at the final result, or even notice there was a problem? There's a [Preview] button below the area where you type your responses. It formats the text as it will appear in the forum, and allows you to correct errors before they are posted. I suggest you use it, and actually read the post before hitting the [Post] button. Even if there's a mistake, you can still [Edit] your own posts if something slipped through. It happens. Did you do so but not know how to fix it?
Anyway, nice try at wriggling.
In case you still don't see the point:
You claim that FEers are "kind and friendly" because they make "guesses and suggestions". To wit:
Coincidentally, I was thinking on something close, namely how kind and friendly FEers are. They are so generously providing guesses and suggestions for their brethren REers regarding these mysterious pictures. My own impression is that NASA could not wait for 12 or even 6 months. So it might be that the painting had not dried enough yet when the varnish was sprayed...
Referring to Yendor's post:
It's obvious, after they painted the picture they sprayed clear varnish on it to preserve it for future generations to enjoy it. Who ever did it got a little carried away and went out side of the lines. It's no big deal, who has enough nerve to question NASA. If they say it is a photo, then it is a photo.
Followed immediately by:
I also like very much the idea about the balloons.
Which was Misero's:
Well, helium and hydrogen do tend to escape from the atmosphere.
Lots of balloons, maybe?
The problem is that Misero doesn't believe the Earth is flat (unless he's changed sides, which I doubt).
Then, Yendor's "varnish guess" became "the varnish episode" here:
That's a possibility. Or they might be in a hurry, like in the varnish episode.
That's where it got promoted. See it yet?
At any rate, can you post a response that's not full of errors? Consider that a kind and helpful suggestion.
