The only thing you have managed to accomplish is stating that you cannot be bothered to do a simple search when you don't understand something.
Then what you're saying is that you can't be bothered to just type the name out instead, you make someone else do the work for you. Is it really that hard? What are you saving? 2 secs and about 10 characters? People speak of laziness, but the laziness starts with the person posting the message, leaving it to someone else to do the work to figure out what they are talking about. Those are the people that claim that the other person is lazy for not doing the search. Chicken or the egg?
Or just pick up the damn phone when it rings instead of letting it roll
to voice mail then txting the caller back with some dumbass excuse lol.
"I cant pick up the phone , my wife is peeing on the hood of my car,, but i can txt you
400 times instead" gets old really quick.
Ha ha ha. I Love this analogy.
I meant no offense to anyone. I will admit, it was just a rant. Someone posted a board for sale and only included the abbreviation. Best of luck to that person selling their board. Don't really care. But, it does get annoying to have to open up another tab, type in the search and figure out what a specific abbreviation is, when the poster could have just typed out Bram Stoker's Dracula. Either way, if it's not well known, someone has to do the typing.
This is a hobby to me. It's not a job. I don't eat, drink, breath or live pinball everyday of my life. That's how I've been able to stick with this hobby for almost 20 years. I've known people that go all out on these games and burn themselves out. We've lost many good Klov'rs that just burnt out and left because they think that have to know everything about every game in intimate detail. When I want to play my games, I play them. When I want to work on my games, I work on them. No time constraints, no deadlines, no customers. Just me. So, I don't have all the pinball abbreviations memorized. That's why it's so annoying to have to do the work for someone else. I just feel in a civilized society where people respect one another, the onus is on the originator to type out what they mean.
With that said, the phone just rang and now I have to text the person a bunch of meaningless acronyms to let them know why I ignored them.
