Bruce you will agree with me that a very large part of
what is talked about on this site is G3 information
and less and less is G4 information - and the fact is
that if it wasn't for you and two or three others who
do post exceptional information I would have drop the
list a long time ago. I currently edit out large
amounts of postings simply because it is not G4
related otherwise I still find the list generally a
good reference - but I do wish you would also post to
the G4 list.
No. I'm not joining ANOTHER <bleep> list to satisfy other people's
increasing intolerance of anything that doesn't directly pertain to
their own systems. Sorry.
A large part of what is talked about here is G3 info because that's
where the questions are coming from.
If you have a problem with your G4 ask it here.
As for specialization is is quite helpful when your
saving the information as references and as long as it
doesnÕt get out of hand - example I could live with a
G4 site set up for QuickSilverÕs and another one for
MDDÕs. But I do agree that your example was way over
the top.
That's PRECISELY what I'm talking about! I think YOUR suggestion is
way over the top.
Instead of one place to ask a question and get a range of answers,
you would have everyone burrow down to their own little niche and
pretend the rest don't exist.
Evolution favors the generalist...I could have never amassed the
knowledge I have without having been around more knowledgeable folks
in a broad, broad range of topics.
"If I have seen farther, it is because I have stood on the shoulders
of giants."
That quote of Newton is apt, because it is how we all learn, in a way.
If you bury yourself into a small niche, you just end up standing on
a pile of other pygmies.
