I do not understand why a more knowledgeable member would put a newbe on their ignore list(or any one else).

First they need help usually. If you cannot hear the voice in the wilderness, you cannot help.

Second who amongst us is so knowledgeable that they can miss an opportunity to learn from others regardless of their 'opinion' of those others.

My observation of the effects of using the ignore function is that one will likely repeat what the ignored one has already posted and not be aware of doing so.

Spammers are the only ones whom I have used the ignore function on. I have not needed to do so recently. Thank You Admin!!!

See JPG, you are confusing knowledge with tolerance!!!!!!!

Many members here are willing to assist with questions but appreciate when someone has first attempted to put their own energy and intelligence into finding the answer.

Also, it is necessary to know how to spell correctly in order for the search to return the information you are seeking (that in itself may be a challenge for some). Doing so may help the requester receive more responses to their question or keep them from being added to the "Ignore List" by seasoned members.

Leaf,
it sounds like your were not a supporter/advocate of "winning over the hearts and minds""".

Any one else see the irony here?:D

So "or" 'here' and "er" over there?

From your earlier post,

Bob!

You DO realize that [quote*=vnvgh] Yada Yada Yada [/quote*] defines a 'quote'.

The * is added to allow discussion without the delimiters taking effect'

When you remove the 'delimiter'([/quote*]) you delete the ability to display the quote correctly in the highlighted box.

Thus had you not deleted the delimiter, the stuff you posted would have looked like this in your original post.

One must be discerning(honest to a fault!!!) when 'modifying' anything within a quote. Thus I always include. . .to indicate deleted portions and use a different color to identify any additions or words relevant to later comments.

There we go... thought provoking and educational discourse in our "chat room". In response to your question, as you found either spelling is acceptable. So, no irony, only enlightenment.

JPG,
I just clicked on the "quote" box, I did not eliminate/deleted anything to my limited knowledge.

[quote*=rbursek]JPG,
I just clicked on the "quote" box, I did not eliminate/deleted anything to my limited knowledge.[/QUOTE*]

Bob, I just copied (except for the *) a quote I did of your last post. That is (again, without the *) what a quote should look like, if done properly.

A test, still dont understand about the *

Bob, don't feel bad! I was a moderator on a computer hardware manufacturer's forum, and learned this stuff the hard way. But, I did learn it.

I'm NOT trying to put you down, in ANY way, just trying to help you out.
Basically, if you touch ANYTHING in a quote, between the brackets, it will mess something up. (Like JPG and I putting the * in side the brackets, to disable the quote function. But, we did that on purpose, so we could show you something.)

Changing stuff between the sets of brackets, (the actual body of the quote) won't mess up the quote function, but may be dishonest. Changing stuff in the the brackets, will however, mess up a quote. I will quite often remove major parts of someone's quote, but rarely change the meaning I've also been known to capitalize and add a period, at the ends of a sentence.
