I'm rather taken aback that I have been singled out by name.
WOW. Paranoid today?

You quoted me. I responded to you. I forgot to quote your questions. When I posted, I saw that there was a post between us. To not cause confusion, I put your name. I think way to much has been read into this.

I still think that there should be tech reps and non tech reps. PM me all you want. I do not agree with the other thread. If it makes you happy it is all good. I do not post there.

As I said before, I actually like the stuff you post, I just do not agree with you on one thing. No big deal. Have a great day in the real world, I will.

I haven't actually ever used a negative feedback, but it has been used against me once. The gentleman apologized and made an attempt to remove it but couldn't. It didn't hurt my feelings because sometimes it is very hard to read emotion into words or see the smile behind the keyboard when no disrespect was intended. On the other hand, I have also never used the positive rep system either. I always thought it more personal to thank someone in the thread for their help for everyone to see. This also shows that their solution actually worked and others may want to try it also. That being said, I would like to thank all those who took time to leave that feed back for me. There are a great bunch of guys on here and I can't even begin to guess how much money I have saved by asking you guys (and gals) instead of a mechanic. Take care all.

Maybe a dumb question...but i have 5 or 6 rep. All green except 2? They are grey...do these mean negatives? If so that's pretty dang sorry. I re-read everything I wrote and it all seemed legit.

Grey are from new users. They don't count the same as green. Some "Newbies" credited you! Not Neg!

As long as the 'ignore' function is in place, all is well.

Good point Vern!
