Actually, I did do a search. And I wasn't too pleased with what I
found. The questions and answers sort of danced around what I asked,
but didn't hit it exactly.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There has been a ton of stuff talked
about and all sorts of points raised and answered - quite directly. But...
not necessarily so, if your questions remain unanswered. I didn't see
anything in your questions that was not addressed several times in the stuff
that's been bantered about here, so I'll just come out and ask... which
questions remain unanswered?
Also, I was hoping to get new information.
Like "hey there's this new gun that just came out". Or maybe there's a
new person with something to add that isn't in the archives. And since
it's cheap to post and reply, who cares? If you don't want to rehash
this again, don't respond.
The last part of that statement is what can make a guy say "fXXk you". You
know Brian - it's not too much to suggest that folks do an archive search.
Whether you did one or not is not apparent from your original post - in fact
it appeared to me that you didn't or you didn't bother to look too hard.
Perhaps I was wrong - I'm willing to stand corrected on that single point,
but I really don't accept well the "if you don't want to rehash this again,
don't respond" stuff. What's the matter - did I crap in your personal
playground by suggesting a search? That's what it seems.
Understand something Brian - it's more than just some folks not wanting to
see a particular thread start up or question asked because it somehow
inconveniences them or disturbs them. Some of us have invested *a lot* of
time into detailing answers and pointers and recommendations to these
questions over time. We did it in the name of sharing, in order to help
other folks out. Such is the nature of a group like this. In turn, we get
our questions answered. But the point is the effort has been invested in
answering this stuff and there does exist a good archive of these answers.
Yes - you do get a bit tired of answering the same things over and over
again. Especially when a little effort would reveal a wealth of
information. Everything from compressor selection to gun selection (by
type) to gun experiences (by manufacturer and model), to spray technique, to
problem solving (why do I get orange peel), to repair of spray defects has
been either thrown about here, or really chased in detail. Sure - there's
always room for the question that asks "hey has anything really changed in
this area?", implying perhaps a question as to new guns or something
similar, but that's really an entirely different question. I responded to
the question asked. It is a longstanding expectation of usenet/netnews that
the poster will do a little search when he/she expects that the question is
something that has "been beaten to death".
I responded the way that I did because your post did not ask the questions
you're now suggesting was their intent. You really asked the same stuff
that has been addressed a lot here. A search *would* have directly answered
some/most of your questions - not danced around them. That stuff has indeed
been discussed directly and in some depth here. I guess in the end, I stand
by my original thoughts thought, and (seemingly in conflict with...) should
you have any questions or confusion remaining after reviewing what exists in
the archives, and I can offer any insights or help in specific areas, I
remain willing to do so. Sometimes you just want to see a guy put in the
effort and not take the short cut and ignore all of the effort that others
have put in by just asking what he wants now.
