@dankcushions I agree I did exercise that boundary when you tore into my post like a bad paper mache and I am sorry. You did take a poke too regarding my posts being a load which I would assume is of the number 2 kind.
I agree it's terribly annoying to answer the same questions over and over. It's just human nature when visiting a new site but also a good way to attract more people and bring them on board expanding a project. A project is only as good and full of potential as it's leaders. I was never good at diplomacy due the family system I grew up in is the survival of the fittest.
I'm sorry but I get lost in your responses many times. I try to read and reread to find the answer, feature or bug I am trying to understand. In the end it's not meant to be personal I just wrote it off as a different style of communication that probably doesn't work for me and I just need to steer clear and stick to what works.
I have a hard time when someone says it works for me. Well that's a great starting point to know it's a working feature. I do like reading and reading Wiki's or watching video is great but I have to say I have missed some information due to the "flow" but you can blame the end-user's lack of ability or the writer but the end result is the same. Another post asking a question on how something works.
Some features I think work one way to discover my base understanding was incorrect so any further knowledge gained is skewed due to my original perception and understanding. That's the same for software bugs. I am thinking one way only to discover my original thought process is off and building knowledge from a bad base well it just compounds the resolution and understanding. Brew that together with people that all communicate and perceive differently and you have a recipe for disaster. It's inevitable it will happen once in a while.
I am easily bait-able and will go hook, line and sinker with whoever if I believe in what I am doing. In person or in writing it doesn't make any difference. If I may get beat up from a bigger guy in a face-to-face encounter it was never a deterrent. My boundaries are bit rigid for lack of better words and I need to make them a bit more flexible when it comes to life. It's a life long project I think. I don't have the energy to sustain arguments like some do. Not now anyways. I have two older sisters and younger brother and sister that like going to bat and we have/need a boundary that we respect or all hell breaks loose. It's like an uneasy truce some days. Growing up we scrapped it out, literally, physically.
Anyway before I write a book it's water under the bridge and I'm sorry. It's hard not to take something personal when you're at it every day. Maybe I just need a break as I am loosing focus that this is supposed to be fun and I should be enjoying this. When I first discovered RetroPie I was elated with nostalgia and sentiment. I should have kept my cool and not poked at you. Have a great weekend.
