Re: system freeze as Youtube web page loads
All I know is that if I came here with a problem, I'd expect someone(s) to
assist in diagnosing the problems and then developing a solution, not
throwing the entire manual at me. As I said, his posts can be useful, and
that is in part due to myself and others ragging on him as he perfected his
collection.
But seriously, when you drop by the shop with your Mustang's engine making a
terrible row and not able to go a step further, would you want the guy to
toss you the Chilton's manual for all cars made by Ford and then leave you
on your own? Because that's what PCR used to do, without fail, way back
when. Besides, much of what he wrote in those master posts was pure
plagiarism. How would you like to see someone else, day in and day out,
writing advice in your name and getting it WRONG all the time? Not including
context and conditionalities, the nuances of the originals, etc.?
