Look, BG, if you somehow think we’re trying to compete as to “who can provide more information”, you know what, I don’t care. I’m not “trying” to win any prizes or brownie points here on this blog. Maybe you think I am, but trust me, I’ve got better things to do.
A lot of the stuff I post, is because these are things that I have wondered about because it was relevant to what I needed at my time or what I’m curious about. And it was a pain in the ass to find out because either (1) no one ran into the same issues or (2) those that didn’t didn’t give a shit about trying to help other people out by saving time for them.
When I post something, I always add a disclaimer *your mileage may vary*. *this is my understanding of it, do your own due diligence*.
If you somehow feel compelled that you have to post so that others think you’re more knowledgeable, or experience, or whatever, well that’s your agenda and your prerogative. That’s certainly not mine.
Bottomline is, I don’t get paid for this shit, and that’s really the only time that I would care if I was in competition with someone else for something. And then, in that case, I definitely would make sure you wouldn’t win.
