Aside from HTC employees, who in here truly rates "Alan Greenspan" status?
Yes there are certain veterans whose opinions should be respected, but there are certain other veterans whose opinions are just as invaluable as some hotheaded newbie. I don't see any labels in here that certify who is worth listening to. The rating system, well, that is as effective as the Florida voting polls
I decide to read a post based on the topic, and reply based on the content, and at best note who thought what. The funny thing is even when I have the webpage scrolled to center the text, I can still tell who is writing the replies. So many of the posting entities out there have very distintive styles and consistent agendas.
Does it really matter who posts "1.xx is out" first? I check the news before I come here anyway, I would think most would do the same. So why post it... anymore than one time in the discussion area
I don't want to tell people what to post and what not to post. I believe there are plenty of regulars who are already policing what topic belongs where and who should be booted
I am just curious about the logic of those doing some of the posting. If I understaned their reasoning, maybe I will agree with them and practice their approach as well
The beauty of these boards is that for the most part, people are free to do as they wish, which provides some interesting insights to the psychology of people in general, and our opponents and teammates in particular. It never hurts to understand the motivations of the people around you. Of course the real trick is to understand yourself.
