Why? For venturing an opinion? In the first paragraph, IMHO, a quite 
valid opinion.

I've been subscribed to a few of these lists for a number of years, and 
it seems that some remain a community while others become... I don't 
know exactly what the word is.  Looking at how the posts sort into my 
folders seems to tell the tale. On any given day, 50-100 into the G3 and 
PCI folders, typically 5-15 into the Toaster and Quad folders. About the 
same volume as the MAX list. Perhaps the new visitors wish to be helped, 
not told to go scroll four screens full of instructions that may or may 
not apply to their personal situation.

Might be that they're just trying to see what kind of folks hang out here.

In my observation, a whole lot less friendly folks than hang out some 
other places. "Read the FAQ", "It's in the FAQ", and similar replies are 
like calling Tech Support and being told, "RTFM". It probably *is* in 
the FM, but I can't find it.

I pay $10/mo more than I should for ISP access just because I can pick 
up the phone at three ayem and talk to a human being.  I usually tell 
*them* what the problem is, but the ability to speak w/ a human is worth 
the price.  Community.

Re: Read the FAQs and archives

[E McCann]

Well, not having seen your name on here (under *this* alias) before, I can 
only assume you're expecting a negative response.

All I'm going to say is:
1. Yeah, I agree about the lists. I also agree about checking the FAQ, 
though if you just see the list, join, and ask a question, you may not know 
about it.

So, instead of *just* saying "Read the FAQ" (I'll bet there are still a 
good number of people who join that not only don't know about the FAQ, but 
couldn't tell you what a FAQ was) how about modifying the reply:

"That's actually in the FAQ, which is at http://macfaq.org. Go to the  
section, there are some links / info / pictures / free toasters with 
signup. If you need help with some of what it says, feel free to ask."

As far as the TILs, it depends who has what links - some still point to the 
old location, some to the new, some who knows where.

2. Pickle and nannies. Sorry, but he *has* (and others have) been reined in 
on occasion - and it's been mentioned on the lists or email. So if Pickle - 
or anyone else, for that matter - is getting abusive, *EMAIL THE NANNY* and 
quote where / when / why. It's one thing to say "Pickle's being mean!" and 
another entirely to say "Would you do something here, this guy asked what 
the "0/1 button" on the back did and so and so replied like this (copy 
flame.)"

Having worked in support and being told *flat out* by someone asking the 
*same* question I'd answered fifty times that week "I don't need to look at 
the manual / help files, I have you!" there are times I can definately 
understand Pickle or anyone else getting "sour." Of course, those are also 
the times I took a break, took a vacation, or went to a different newsgroup 
(these days, at least. No money in it.)

It's also a matter of perception. Just saying "You didn't read the FAQ, did 
you - look there" might seem bland to one person, but insulting or 
condescending to another (as opposed to "It's in the FAQ, you *#$&*(#!!!" 
which would definatley be a flame... without the symbols.)

Just my... eh, looks like more than two cents.
Now, can we get back to Quadras?

Re: Read the FAQs and archives

[Grin With Me]

It seems bizarre to me that the creator of these lists
is incapable of seeing their function. The lists are
not just a venue for the exchange of technical
information. They are, in fact, the meeting places of
a community. A community that shares the same desires
but not necessarily the same levels of expertise. It
is also a community that changes over time.
Communities don't learn. People do. As a result,
simple questions get asked again and again. And again.

The problem isn't people not doing research or using
google or reading TILs. Face it, Dan Knight, users
start doing that and there's no need for the lists. At
least that's the way you see it. The way I see it is
that the problem isn't people not reading the FAQ.
It's people getting beaten over the head with the FAQ
by pickle. Yes, pickle. It's time for him to move on.

It is incontrovertible that pickle is an arrogant,
obnoxious, self-important, abusive individual who
believes that he is above the community. The so-called
nannies are too afraid to rein him in.  Dan Knight
undermines their authority by coming to pickle's
defense when there is no defense for his constant need
to humiliate newbies. His need is to be pitied because
it far beyond pathetic.

Chris Lawson, it's time for you to move on. Write a
book. Go see a movie. Get laid. Maybe if you work on
your arrogance you'll have another girlfriend.
Someday. You've done what you needed to do unless your
chronic insecurity has to be fed by bashing newbies or
harassing people who know as much as you do. Aren't
you embarrassed to be still on these lists and sending
obscene and disgusting emails to people off-list when
they anger you? Don't you debase yourself when you
arrogantly trash people who don't know about pram
batteries or case cleaning or video cards? Your ego
must be miles wide but only about an inch thick if
this is all you can come up with. 

It's really pathetic.

I didn't know OS 9 ran on Quads ;)

That said, they should either truncate or self-condense to 31 characters.  Try
it with a few to see what happens.

Definitely not for capture, and even for Mac video output, you'll be
hard-pressed to find something that will be much better.

If they're just going to be archived (a backup) why not just use Stuffit?

OSX to 9 filenames

[Clyde Kahrl]

Despite the warning to read the FAQs, and knowing this must 
have a simple answer,  I have to ask this question because I cannot 
formulate a search string to kick up the answer:
QUESTION:  Because OSX supports long filenames and OS9 does 
not, how can I transfer large numbers of files to my OS9 backup 
server disk?  OSX won't let me do it with regular old filesharing and 
I don't know how to truncate large numbers of  filenames in a batch.

Video on Q840AV

[Powermac]

I have a Quadra 840AV I am using for small video capture needs and was
wondering is there a nubus video card that is alot faster then the built in
video ( I am using a pc 17" monitor with mac adapter)? I have 1MB of VRAM in
the unit, should I upgrade it to 2mb even if I buy a new video card (I have
a Radius SpigotProAV unit installed).

Thanks

P.S. IF you have 4x256k vram you want to sell cheap let me know I am in
Ohio.
