Well, that sums it up pretty well, I suppose ... I'm not sure how, exactly, but it's clearly a summation.

The way that I look at it is this:

Sony makes a device that is very easy to use. They provide a reader, a place to get books, and a decent set of instructions that make it easy for users to use most of the functionality of this package.

If you want to learn about advanced topics and use more advanced features or pieces of software you have to be willing to put forth the time and effort that is required to attain the level of knowledge or experience that you want to reach. If you are not willing to put forth this time and effort then the only person to blame is yourself.

People on this forum have spent endless hours of their own free time discussing things that they are interested in, converting books, creating software, and helping others.

I am sorry that you(stepanok) feel the need to blame the same people that have spent their time trying to help. I think the others here would agree that their time is better spent helping those that want to learn than someone who just wants something for nothing, be it time, money, or whatever. You will get out of something what you put into it.

Creating books really isn't "rocket science". I'm not exactly the brightest bulb on the tree when it comes to "technical stuff". If I can do it, anyone can

Hmmmm... I s'pose one could respond with "oderint dum metuant!"... but that does seem rather old-school. Positively un-American, even. That sentiment would be-- now let me think about it... Oh yes. That's it!

But all civilized people understand Latin, surely?

It means, should you be wondering "Let them hate us as long as they (also) fear us". It was a saying attributed to the Roman emperor Caligula.

This thread is pointless. Can admin do something about it? stepanok clearly doesn't want our help, but rather to insult and complain. Seriously.

NatCh · 05-02-2008, 01:29 PM

Putting my Mod had on for just a moment, we try not to interfere with what folks are posting, unless the posts are contrary to forum policies, or just blatantly nasty. That Freedom of Speech, business, you know.

Besides, if we closed all the pointless threads, we wouldn't have half so much fun.

Now removing my Mod had, I'll observe that threads tend to die on their own when folks stop reading and responding to them.

Well, now. If you read a bit more carefully you would note that I explicitly point out that the quote in question expresses a sentiment that would be strictly unAmerican. A thought you may wish to consider when observing "how typically American."

But, apparently, the irony was lost on you.

How ironic.

I fear you kiddles are to grownup for your own good. It seems you must have something like a real life and don't spend enough time around the gaming and tech-geek boards or you would have know 20 posts ago that this was a troll.
