    Does this mean that they will be refunded anything they've paid in as income tax over the course of the year or simply that at the end of the year they've paid in as much as necessary and don't owe anything additional? Owned by Remi #?

    It probably has incorrect daylight savings time information. A couple of years ago DST would have ended last night. Owned by Remi #?

    Right... because they served with women in combat and are qualified to have an opinion. How could anyone who's never served in combat with women be even remotely qualified to make that call? C'mon, Lucy.... 'splain why this young woman's efforts and bravery don't count because she wasn't in The Nam: http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2008-03-09-silverstar_N.htm Owned by Remi #?

    I see that as a learning / growing opportunity. Owned by Remi #?

    Or just trust your eyes enough that you don't have to throw more gear at a problem to get past it safely. What are you saying here.... is it better to have 2 altimeters... or 3 or 4 or wtf? Go jump without an altimeter once. It aint hard. If it is then think about that. Owned by Remi #?

    That is so well articulated. I wish I could do that. Owned by Remi #?

    What I'm saying is that I don't think there's anything wrong with good advice. Owned by Remi #?
  11. labrys
    I don't think we're on the same page here. I totally disagree with having valid advise removed because it was delivered rudely. That's why I posted in the first place. I agree that there are actually a group of people who don't listen unless someone gets in their face and spits a little. Owned by Remi #?

    And back to my point in posting the question.... There are a percentage of people who balk and complain when they are called out and those people can learn and thrive with other, more sensitive feedback. There are other people who actually respond to being called out. I don't think it's wise to censor a guy who takes the brutal approach any more than it's wise to focus on the guy who blows sunshine up everyone's ass. Edit for the hell of it: If you have the brain cells to generate enough friction to argue, you probably don't have a problem. Owned by Remi #?

    A thread I was watching with some interest has been pruned because the word "retarded" was used.... Seriously.... for every one touchy-feely person who's likely to post here and complain that no one learns from being called out and called an idiot for making a mistake.... there's another personality type who doesn't post whore who reads that sort of comment and takes inventory. Thanks Dave. Owned by Remi #?

    My point.... If my Tivo was turned on during the Superbowl and I wasn't touching it, then the assumption is that I was either watching every minute or I was gone the whole time. If they rely on my buffered playback info they have no idea if I'm fast forwarding because I don't want to see the commercials or if I've already seen them the first time... No logic Owned by Remi #?
  15. labrys
    Well... yeah. I know I do it and I know other people do it... but yes you are correct in asserting that I don't know what percentage of the total do it. Do you? My Tivo reports back on what it records and not what I watch. When I don't tell my Tivo what to record it takes a guess about what I want to see.... Or it records and reports on what the highest bidder wants.... I dunno. Do you trust it? Owned by Remi #?

    Polls are useless in most cases. Ask the average whuffo how most skydivers die and they'll respond "Chute failed to open" because that's what the media tells them to say. Ask the average American how they feel about health care reform and they'll tell you what their favorite talk show host told them to say without bothering to think it through. Owned by Remi #?

    I was going to write a well reasoned and rational response but damned if a great big chunk of the sky didn't fall right smack on the top of my head and knock me senseless. Owned by Remi #?

    I turn on my Tivo and TV to watch something for an hour.... then turn off the TV and forget about the Tivo... sometimes for weeks at a time. Looks like I'm watching for 24/7 when in fact it's a couple of hours a month. Others do this too. Skews the stats a bit. Owned by Remi #?

    That would be a jump with a licensed skydiver, right? I don't see any chicken handles... Owned by Remi #?

    I certainly don't believe you're an insensitive person, which is why I replied to your post. I felt that (and I was right) that you would probably respond in a well articulated way....as did Ninja. I understand where you're coming from better now. Your points are taken. I guess this thread just rubbed me in the wrong direction at the wrong time. Owned by Remi #?
