I've noticed something

There are many times myself I could make a mean spirited comment, but choose to ignore statments because a argument takes two, and most arguments make as much sence as going to the tavern to make everyone there aware of how smart I am. As history shows seldom is there a actual winner.

Many folks have time on there hands as I do some days or evenings, other times not so much. I have been aware of many post that in the subject line you see no subject other than I got a problem, What is wrong, and a whole lot of other posts that you have to open up to read, and figure out what there question is. Many times I feel those only get comments from folks with to much time on there hands. The folks who know may well overlook a question because they do not take the time to read them. I think it would be great if there was a couple of lines in the subject line to remind us that we comunicate in real life with more than one word or two after we reach the age of two. Not trying to provoke you but like your post I"ve noticed something perhaps is overlooked unless you state what in general you noticed in the subject line. As in society if you open up a conversation with a slam, you probably will get jumped on and folks form a opinion of you. maybe not always fair in our thinking. I'm personaly never smart enough to remember any of the crap that goes on because I simply do not care enough unless a bulley is making crap of a less fortunate underdog. I have personaly found all the YT boards to be very friendly and extreemly helpful. I do however reread my post before I send them off so I make sure to the best of my ability that I do not offend.

I kind of think that most of the folks on these boards are older generation minded, many have helped others there full life with only the words thank you for payment. And for the most part unless you are representing the government or have the word expert on your shirt pocket they are very friendly, and seldom offensive. I kind of think most of the folks here try to understand downfalls of others, and probably can get the message if they reread the post a few times. Like my posts, many lack puncuation and spelling. There have been a few times when you know that the post comes from a person who has disabilities more than our own, and usualy for the most part no one makes crap of them, however it has happened.

When a person cuts apart another fellow, it usualy tends to try to make ourselves look important. Many of us have out grown that attatude from the school of hard knocks, and the blessing of gray hair.

So therefore maybe just give them that offend you another chance, and perhaps maybe they are just the type that enjoys a good argument, but that is only a small few that talk that talk, the rest of the folks here on YT are pretty good eggs.

Again I hope i did not offend you or anyone else, fighting in any organization is a cancer that spreads fast. Good luck on future questions.

But we can write the IP address down and remember it and make SURE we never respond again.

OK.

Due to someone on the Farmall board claiming that a friend's post had the same IP address as someone else that was staring crap, I went and talked to my ISP guy about this issue. I even logged onto his store computer, and showed him what I was talking about.

He just laughed out loud, and asked if I ever posted on this site? I said sure I do, not everyday as some but I do answer or get into a conversation sometimes. He replyed, "go ahead answer someone's question and I will show you something about an IP address".

I answered a persons question on this site, and then my ISP guy wrote down the IP address from my answer posted from his store.

He then asked me if I knew if John Doe, Jane Doe, etc. posted on this site as well, as they were some of his customers that he knew had old tractors. I told him of one that I knew for sure posted on this site. He looked up a post made by that person and wrote down the IP address.

He then looked up one of my post made from my home and wrote down that IP address as well.

When he showed me the paper all three had the same IP address on them. I told him that I did not belive this. So he went back to all of the answers and I wrote the numbers down myself. He asked me if his numbers matched mine, and they all three did match.

So I asked him how or why this could be? His reply was, "All three of us are using the same server when we reply. The ISP server does not provide an actual computer's address. In order to find out where the replys came from most ISP can filter or use a tracking method that can find out who's computer made them if they needed to".

I am not a computer wiz in any way, heck my 6 year old knows more about them than I do.

I don't know, if all of these are the replys are from the same person or not. I am only relaying what I was told.

For the person that started this I can only say, "Everyone at this site has always been very helpful to me, and a lot of others as well. Yea sometimes someone will come along and try to stirr the pot or whatever". Take this for what it' worth, "Treat people as you like to be treated, and they usually will treat you in the same manner"!

Once again, "Thanks to everyone at this great site, keep up the good work"!!!

I usually only answer if I have firsthand knowledge of the topic.

A lot of times I see answers I either THINK are wrong or KNOW are wrong, but I'm not interested in wasting time in a flame war.

Usually, if you post a clear question with enough info to go on, you'll always get an answer or two. Not everyone is going to have an answer and those that do are less likely to waste time answering if it is not clear what the questioner is asking.

Don't give up, yet...

Once people get to know they can count on you for accurate information, they'll start warming up to you. In the case of questions, consider the fact that there aren't too many subjects that haven't been gone over 1000 times. Sometimes the more common questions just get BORING to most. People figure they'll just let someone else field the "how big of a mower will my 8N run?" question that they've already answered 300 times themselves.

Keep on trying. I posted here a few times myself before anyone bothered to reply.

OK,good luck with your posts.
