Joe speaks the truth, at least from my perspective. In my sport, everyone wants to be able to make a living doing it. I saw that as a distinct possibility and since I was making my living at the time as a Network Consultant I found that ScubaBoard and the diving surrounding the site took up more and more of my time. I first added google ads and then I started hitting up dive businesses for ads. I haven't had to earn a real living for several years now and I like that. it suits me just fine to putz around the world diving and posting about diving. Even more rewarding is that I am now infamous among professional divers. If they don't know me personally, they know who NetDoc is and what I mean to the diving community. Notoriety has it's own rewards and I'm OK with that, even if I am here more by chance then by merit.

Most people here would love to work for an electronics company. Why do you want to change?

 

Maybe it's a French thing? I'm certainly not offended.

merci, yes why not, it doesn't hurt ,

Yeah it's cool but my initial education is about language (chinese and deutsch), but I didn't really find my career path,

I think it's more a girl thing than a French thing

 

hi I'm bart. New but excited about electronics and LED's. I'm teacher .

Grtz!

 

Hi, my name is Stefan, i'm from Serbia and am studying web design at this point but one of my major hobbies is messing around with electronics.

 

Welcome to you!
Lot's to see here.
Helpful people will answer your questions.
Amazing variety of specialists!

 

I am Dustin. I come here from ETO for certain reasons lol. I enjoy working on anything with my hands. I am an Operating Engineer for the largest real estate company in the world (CBRE). I fix and modify (soop up) everything I own myself, motorcycles, jetskis, vehicles, home, small engines (lawn mowers, weedeaters, etc), construction. I also enjoy small electronic repair and tinkering with just about anything. Only 5 more posts till I hit 25. WOOT!

One of my pet peeves is I can't stand suck ups or &$$ kissers. Especially online ones.

 

Hi Zero. Welcome to AAC.

Remember that this is an international forum that caters to all, regardless of your color, stripe, education or expertise.

Because of that we have to be respectful of everyone so long as they also show some respect. Hence we do have to have some tolerance.

Hope you have a long and lasting stay with us.

Welcome, Dustin.
I totally agree with that.

Hi ZT,

Provided you follow the rules here you will not have anything to worry about. Just remember that the mods are here to keep things neat, tidy, and free of inappropriate language and flaming. If someone breaks the rules the mods will clean it up, but it is not a personal attack on them. Just keep that in mind.

Anyway, that's enough references to the past from me. Welcome to AAC and I hope you can enjoy a long, educational stay here.

Thanks for a rundown of the rules, but is it your position to go over them with me? I think you should maybe start minding your own business . Thanks again

You must be in a bad mood today, hence the Zero Tolerance for what read like a warm welcome to me.

Nobody's giving you a rundown of the rules. Stop trying to read into everything people say, it'll take away from what they are actually saying.

 

Might come off as harsh, but you don't know the past behind the remarks I made. I have been a member at ETO for years and there are several mods that are members over here. We'll just leave it at that. I don't need to explain my reasoning behind why my remark above was abrasive, as I already stated it in a post above. Thanks, but glad to be here. I knew der would have something to say in regards to rules or whatever, he always does

Der I am 30yrs old, I don't need to be told what will happen if I don't follow the rules. I don't care what you have to say, If I did I would ask for your opinion. Thanks.

The same could be said of my remarks.

What you fail to realize is that enforcing the rules does not make people "suck ups or &$$ kissers". If you break the rules you should expect something to be done about it. Nobody was being unfair to you at ETO, you brought it on yourself.

Der I am 30yrs old, I don't need to be told what will happen if I don't follow the rules. Thanks.

Nonetheless, seeing as you've had problems following the rules in the past I thought I'd mention it. I'd like nothing more than to see you become an asset to this electronics community. Again, I offer you my welcome and my wishes for a long, pleasant stay.

Matt

 

I think you got to know each other well enough. Now go out there and write some posts!

 

Welcome Zerotolerance. I too migrated away from ETO, as have many other here. I don't now what it is about that site that seems to attract every troll on the internet. I left years ago and never looked back. You'll find things are much more laid back here and much less trollish, aside form a few members who want to drag out old drama into the public. If it gets out of hand, the mods will step in.
