Hi
In my computer shops my employees are taught to give "BEST ADVICE"... which basically means BE HONEST....evn if it costs the company (me) money...
As an example...if we test a laptop or PC and the motherboard is blown (capacitors etc) and the repair cost exceeds the value of the machine, we are honest and tell the customer that....
Now although it costs us money in the short term, it pays for itself long term in recommendations from those customers who feel that have been dealt with fairly....
Maybe the problem some of you have with me is twofold...one is I am NOT American , I am English and sometimes words and phrases are understood in a different way, and two , I am a Professional in the Computer business and have been for many many years (I am 59 by the way) whilst a fair number of you here are not Pros...
Thats not an insult by the way, its just a different attitude....example....someone comes here and wants say a cpu/mobo combination for say $150.. and people start advising them to buy an I5 , WHEREAS I as a Pro listen to what they said ($150) and advise differently....
Regarding posts, I own another Forum and am a Moderator on two large forums in the UK, I have no interest in post counts and I spend as much time on my other forums as here....its just something I do whilst I am doing my various businesses paperwork in the evenings...
If You and the others do not want me here, or have a major problem with the way I post, I am sure a Moderator could ban me if they feel the same as you....maybe you dont want Pros here ?
All the best Brett
