Hi Philo. Sorry to hear about the possible amputation. Worry and stress over that possibility can make anyone overeact to pranks. Don't become so overloaded with cynicism and despair that you make bad choices.
You've contributed much to this forum---don't quit, you're part of the scene here. If you feel a need to rest from forum contending, please don't be too proud to come back.
You're right, bombing threads affects our unconditional trust. But I'd suggest there IS an absence of malice. Russ hasn't really violated his contract with the universe.
This flap will pass and seem insignificant. The sky isn't really falling in; and God won't give Russ power to make the sun bigger.

Don't do it! Please--especially your Red Rock stories.
Man, you can leave your stuff in Photobucket.
Just go to the library and post.
Don't go.
Please.

Lovegasoline,
You know a 4 year old that knows how to save their work on a computer? That's impressive.
Skip,
As usual, just talking out your ass!

Posting super big files with the intent of slowing up or messing with with our computers is totaly fckn lame and should be worth a swift kick in the nuts.. YMMV

What's even funnier is how Zip deleted all 19 of his posts in the other thread.
Pretty lame.
Good thing I saved the thread before he did...
-it's a rather good example of saving "work"...

How could posting a big jpeg cause someone's computer to crash? It makes no sense!
Too funny.

Hardman Knott you suprize me!!!!
Deleting posts is part of the " freedom of speech" .
Anyone can post as they wish and remove it at their will.
Censorship by you ? I think knott, At best childish criticism .
I do like the funny part about how at least you saved it.
But who really gives a crap ?
On Thread Topic Edit: Philo what do you think ?

Fish Finder - if you click on WARNING! Stay off the "phone sabotage suspect" thread. . . .,
you will find that this historic and scintillating thread has been forever befouled because
Zip deleted 19 (count 'em) of his posts! Can you imagine the effort that went into that?
Conversely, here's what my saving the entire thread entailed, and it took approx. 3.75 seconds:
1. With thread open, click "Show All" link to load entire thread.
2. Command + S (Mac) or ctrl + S (Windows)
You've GOT to be kidding...

The standard 4500+ pixel wide image @ approx 5 MB.
Pretty tame compared to the frequent photo-bombing we saw in days of yore...

Yeah i saw it but whats funny is when people delete several of their posts and add some comment on each line instead of just deleting it.
A fine example of this is dmalloy on the " Lessons Thread"
wow that must take some time.
zip is able to adapt and can learn like all of us from spending time here. he only wanted an explanation and he got it. philo on the other hand said that this didnt affect him but it was all about his last three exspensive computer crashes. WTF? There has to be a lesson somewhere.
If we were all as computer savy or is it snobby as you, none of us would need to post or read here. We'd all be investigating each others stats and loose the point.
Truth said i only kid as i wish i could navigate around this site as much as your able to.
Best Gregg

What?! You're telling me the [pussy-wanker] who wrote this thread, is quitting because Russ posted a simple jpeg, not even that big or nasty or imbedded with a virus or something, and it made his comp crash?
What the hell kinda computer is this guy running? You could email an image of that size for f*#k's sake.
That's not the real reason he's quitting, dude. There's something else we don't know.
He does a lot of techno talk in his copied rant above, but he sure doesn't understand computers if a frickin' photo crashed his machine. What kinda piece of junk is he running, anyway? I thought your Macs were these wonderful crashproof virusproof computers that always worked perfectly.
P.S. WTF is wrong with this thread? I can't even read my own post without scrolling a half-mile to the right. Sheesh.

I am never ceased to be amazed by the amount of people on this site who talk sh#t to, and about people they have never met.
I have had a couple people who have attacked me, that i have never even had a conversation with. I have responded with what i feel is an appropriate response.
I don't come here and intentionally wrong, insult, or lay a hand upon anyone. If it is done to me, i will respond with the level of force that i feel is necessary to defend myself.
I work in a couple of different fields where verbal and physical confrontation are a part of the job. I don't like the negativity associated with this interaction, but i am very good at it, and it pays well.
I come to this site as a positive release to the negative energy that i encounter in other areas of my life.
I deleted my posts, because i really don't like my name associated with that negativity, not because i am a pussy.
When the topic was first posted, i was trying to figure out what happened to my computer and my I phone. I e mailed Russ off site and asked him if he had possibly planted something on that thread that caused my equipment to lock up. I never got a reply.
When the thread started to get more responses, it then became apparent that Russ had done something to the thread that caused my equipment to freeze.
I was pissed, and responded.
I was trying to do my own taxes, and i lost all the information that i was working on. Instead of trying to re input it all, i took the next day off, and paid someone else a couple of hundred bucks to do my taxes.
I then get people on this site that say i am stupid for not backing my stuff up and that my computer is a POS.
I have very limited education, but don't believe that i am stupid. I don't have much knowledge of computers and how they work. Those of you you that do know me, know that i have done very well for myself, without being real smart.
I know my computer is not a POS. It is fairly new, and i think it is a pretty good unit. I still have no idea why it locked up. Maybe there is something wrong with it.
Am I upset with Russ? No, not anymore. From what i can understand, he just loaded a real big file, that my computer was not able to handle. He wasn't trying to cause me or my computer any harm.
I really don't want to continue to dwell or post on this thread anymore, but may have to, to defend myself.
It's Easter.
Go spend some time with someone you care about.
