Jrn I am sure Simple Q just likes to get people stirred up! Not at all. If someone is going to say something as incredibly naive as "If an electrical item SHORTS OUT it will NEVER cause a fire" (emphasis from original), I'm going to point out that it's incredibly naive. And if that someone gets their panties all in a twist because of it, then it's not me who's getting them stirred up. They're doing that all on their own. |
Mintzar This would be so much more entertaining if it were translated into Pirate. Ya think? Let's see. Fuzzbutt17: Hmmm. Not bad. Let's try some jive. Fuzzbutt17 Ha! That's pretty good too. I dunno. I think I ultimately prefer... Swedish chef! Fuzzbutt17 Maybe because of Keith Olberman's reading Thurber's The Black Magic of Barney last night. |
I surrender. I apologize. I give up. What do you want from me? I'm not going to metaphorically drop my pants so we can slap them on the table and measure them. Simply Q (sorry for the previous typo), I would be happy to go off forum and discuss resistance in malfunctioning circuits. We can discuss capacitance, inductance, and even quantum physics if you like. I have no doubt that I may learn something from you, if nothing else, how I might communicate more effectively. What I am not willing to do is make a public spectacle on a forum or to defend myself or my products anymore. People mentioned my company name. People gave links to my website and eBay listings. People made comments about my taking advantage of naive customer by using the Western Electric name. People brought up the potential of my products bursting into flame. People brought my R&D process and business practices into question. Most importantly, people got me to react in a manner that is unprofessional (OK...some of it was rather amusing and fun). That's over. Say what you want about me, my company, or my products. Praise or criticize. So long as you don't say anything bad about my Cat. Well, I'm also rather sensitive about my weight an my bald spot. But my products, technical expertise, and business practices are fair game. We won't hear back from me in a public forum. Feel free to contact me one-on-one. |
Fuzzbutt17 I surrender. I apologize. I give up. What do you want from me? Simply recognizing that Electronics 101 textbooks don't tell you everything you need to know about how things work in the real world would be a good start. So long as you don't say anything bad about my Cat. I would never. I love cats. Have any photos you can share? |
Well now that we've got that debate behind us, and a lot faster than the previous Simply-q versus Herman masterpiece match-up, I'll be happy to share a cat photo of my own: clio |
