What is Air Gauge Control Tolerance?

Air?

Gauge?

Control?

Tolerance?

Most people have a good idea what each of these word mean, but put them together without any context, and they could mean many different things.

Could you please, as a minimum, explain what the gauge is measuring (and don't say "air"!)

Don't even reply to these man, save the effort for the ones that care enough to:

1) register

2) explain sufficiently

3) show that they have done what they can themselves to find out.

Good points. I'll make this my policy from now on.

Regards, John.

Dear Case and JohnDG,

well put and I agree completely....

This bad topic problem has been in my head for some time, pondering to start or not a thread on it.

Not responding is ok, and better than insulting.

Perhaps a pop up when positing as a guest stating the basics of scientific thinking, internet research and brain usage. (oops)

A bad post repository, perhaps?

For my part I may refer to this encyclopedia for all bad topic formulations.

I've been thinking about this too. Perhaps if we asked Chris nicely, we could get a button added to the first post in each thread (only working for registered CR4 members) that autogenerated a reply to these hopeless posts. There'd have to be accountability, so it could look like a "normal" comment from whoever hit the button, but it would save the reply - check - preview - submit sequence.

WOW Great idea, I hope it can be implemented ASAP.....

How about that a guest is asked to fully log on as a member when trying to post a question, eg only full members can even ask questions....am I off base? Maybe....probably.....

Banning them is just as bad as insulting them in my opinion. We need to be asked questions for this forum to live on, unless you are Kris of course

I think the pop up to ask if you have done the minimum yourself is a good suggestion.

P.s. has anybody noticed some rediculous answers by guests recently? Some made me think they were just being obstructive for the sake of it. No need to reply at all I thought so I left it. Can't even remember what thread it was in.

Ignoring them is a good idea, except that then a badly worded question by someone who doesn't have English as his first language, may well be ignored and the questioner doesn't know why.

So maybe just to add that further information is required allows a chance for the questioner to return and rephrase the question.

Most questioners never return or reply though even with genuine questions, which I think is a bit rude.

But hopefully they will have read the answers... I think having popups isn't the way forward, as case491 says this forum relies on questions, even daft ones!

John.

I think it would be a good idea to identify each unique guest with a prefix number so you can tell that the next guest is not answering back his or her own daft question.

I have often wondered about which guest this is and should I answer this taking my premonition into account?

Call me ott but I think it would help.

You have a good point there case491...

I have often wondered whether a reply is by the original poster or just another guest...

So some form of identy would be an excellent idea.

John.

Unless Moose says different, I do not believe there is a way to do it, unless you can install a cookie or similar without the Guest knowing. I have software that tells me about such things, a lot of people do.....it warns me when I go on "Bad" websites....

Cookies are harmless and, as much as it pains me to say, they help make the internet smoother. You disable all your cookies and you are forever repeating the same actions.

What is more worrying is those dreaded active xyz things or java scripts, those should be better controled.

Loads of websites now have disclaimers that tells you what they use the cookies for and simply tell you that without them , you cannot fully use their website. Full stop, no debate, don't see any problem with that myself.

How would the system note one guest from another? I did not understand that!

You are a good Guy Electroman, but sadly I disagree with your line:-

But hopefully they will have read the answers... I think having pop ups isn't the way forward, as case491 says this forum relies on questions, even daft ones!

For a daft question (there are different sorts!):-

1) no answer and the Questioner is no wiser than before and thinks we are rude.

2) For a fully correct answer from one of us that he will certainly not understand (not a question like "Please explain the universe and everything in it in one paragraph") any large amount of and he may kill himself or somebody else when trying it out, because he never understood the basics.

3) for the "Explain the Universe....." type questions, they must be told that they haven't a clue, no matter how rude it is, because otherwise he will be given the feeling that the question was valid. Basically then you have lied to him!!!

There is no "Good" way to break the news to him that he is an idiot and that the question is either stupid or has a very dangerous answer.....

But anything other than the hard correct truth is a lie!!!

If he understands then (I doubt it) what he needs to do, then we have achieved something. If he doesn't, we may still have saved a dangerous situation as most people would be a bit worried about trying something dangerous.

If you read the Darwin Awards web pages, you can see how people kill themselves unintentionally, because they did not think the action through before trying it out!!! Stupid does not even get near to describing some of the things people do....accidently!

These are the dumb "guest" people, a Darwin Award winner in the making, no more, no less....

The "good " Guys, have some background knowledge, have thought the problem through but need help on a few points. I will help those people fully any day of the year...to the best of my ability, the same as you would Electroman....

I am also sure that you do not want to lie to anyone either, well the truth always hurts in such cases.....

Have a great Sunday.

This is the moderator concept, I wonder how it would turn out if CR4 had distributed self moderating?

Also, requiring people to register is not a hard step to get access to the immense expertise of this group. We could all watch TV instead.

A multilingual checklist of what is expected to have a fruitful CR4 relationship may also help.

All in all, the existence or this community is a feat owing to what is good in our Global Village and makes me very grateful to all and quite proud to contribute.

We perhaps have the bad habit to care too much about finding solutions, sometimes more than the posters. And that isn't too bad either.

"This is the moderator concept, I wonder how it would turn out if CR4 had distributed self moderating?"

I notice you joined CR4 about the same time as I did. If you remember back, there was a moderation (and meta-moderation) system. I was busy for a while (couldn't afford the time for CR4 - slap my wrists!) and when I got back on, the site had been updated. I asked Chris L. what had happened - extract from his reply of 10/14/2006:

"As for meta-moderation, we tossed that out with the old site since it never really worked as we intended".

John

Of Course it air silly!

Happy Sunday!

John

I think it's funny that whenever one of these gets asked it generates a good number of replies. Ironic isn't it.

Isn't it

Is not it? Hmmm. That's interesting. It makes sense when you say it but not when you write it. Hmmm. Kinda like the majority of my replies.

Now a rant.

So I go missing for about two weeks and noone even cares. Wow. That really hurts. Maybe I found a way to teleport, or was being subjected to some ridiculous animal cosmetic testing. Does anyone go a looking..Noooooooooooooooooooo.

Poor me.

Perhaps instead of blogging back and forth about the theory of posting, you guys could attempt to answer this person's question? Just a thought.....

Guest:

If you think it's a question with an answer, why not register & answer it yourself?

What is the tolerance of an infuriated Guru?

As small as an air gauge!

Good for you, and us all, you are quite accurate.

Do you auto-calibrate with a 12 gauge?

Only when I have to.

Try to keep a constant temperature...

Hi Clever Dick, answer it yourself, assuming you understand the question of course!

The disappointment of a well-intended forum is that it often attracts small groups of self-appointed "gurus". They spend more energy in lame attempts at intellectual dissertations of self-promotion and dodging questions rather than providing answers.

Ignore my signature.

Relax. Would you like to attempt to answer the question yourself? Perhaps you would like to restate it.

If the question is not ambiguous to you, please enlighten me. Perhaps they are asking what is the accuracy of a tire pressure gage. I just don't know. I implore you; show me your secret.

Google Results 1 - 10 of about 1,130,000 for air gauge control tolerance. (0.16 seconds)

Happy?

And a lot of ignorant cowards hide behind the guest name......!

Hey, look, I am not a Guru!!!

So far the answers have matched the question.

This is a forum for adults who take the time to help each others.

The drawback is that you have to help yourself a little bit.

The richness of the advise you get here is unprecedented in History, as long as you go further in your reflexion than say: Me need help!

My guess is that he is asking about gauge calibration.

Thanks, Skelly, so far you have been the first reasonable response to my "cowardly" posting......

-Annonomously Cowardly

So you are alive!!!

Do you want to have your mind read or would you please express what you need?

This thread is a month old, and there is not much substance to it, aside from your last repply.

LOL!This has got to be one of the most entertaining threads I have seen so far. So many postings that aren't actually answering the question!

Perhaps it could qualify for this thread:http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/16274/Best-Technical-Prank

Seriously, I went to the Mahr Federal site today and found a plethora of information that should be sufficient to enlighten our original poster.

Enough to know I need an expensive laser mike of good quality.

It amazing what can be found if you are active on the internet.
