Think of all the cheap entertainment you're mising out on with that ignore list, though!
Ha!

True enough!
I was just e-mailing with another forum member about this subject. The TiVo Forums used to be a very friendly place with lots of good back-and-forth and a real resource of good information. It was as if we were a real family of sorts. But it seems theres an element that thrives on making others wrong or lives for pointing out mistakes. Its sad really and a public display of their low self esteem.
I probably dont help because I never hesitate to call someone on their B.S. Sometimes they settle down or go away, other times it just adds fuel to the fire and they end up on my personal Ignore List. Youd think that when a perfect stranger offers their help (whether their info is right, wrong or otherwise) that there would be some manner of appreciation and civility. It never ceases to amaze me how impolite, childish and rude some people can be. I guess their mothers just never raised them properly. Can you imagine them acting like that in a business environment? Come to think of it I guess I have seen that. I ended up firing a few of those types myself.
It seems that having forum "anonymity" gives some people a false sense of power. I suspect that these are the same people that wrap themselves in 4000lbs. of metal and drive down the road as if they were the only person on the planet. But find them in the local grocery store and theyre the nicest people (or they cower like mistreated puppies). Its too bad really. Hopefully the arguers and complainers will find something else to do eventually.
Okay
totally OT
now back to the program already in progress.
