Scored My First Century of GAs

"Negative waves kramarat, always with them negative waves. Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?"

Oddball, played by Donald Sutherland; Kelley's Heros, 1970 (substitute Moriarity for kramarat)

Didn't think anyone would catch the reference didja? Oddball is one of my all-time favorite movie characters.

"Auof auof auof auof, that's my other dog imitation."

I should have given proper credit at the time. Thanks for settiing the record straight.

Great movie. Ranks right up there with Fargo. I can see it happening, especially the sail boat. I'm sure there were plenty of guys like Crapgame, Oddball and the rest.

I see at least 4 people caught the reference.

OOPS!

make that 3 people. Somebody cancelled out one of the GAs. Let me guess who???

I just cancelled out my 2 almost GAs on this thread.

Oh, I'll bet admin can tell who's intentionally screwing around with the GA system......................................probably wouldn't be too hard to revoke their voting ability either.

I wish whoever is doing it, would get on here and explain how it is that they derive enjoyment from it.

Ignore grumble-butt

Congratulations and my best for your New Year

Congrats EE65 and happy new year to you too.

Happy New Year 2012 to all CR4 members

electricalexpert65,

Congratulations!! I read your comments most of the times and it is worthy. Many of your postings contain lot of in-depth expert information. Please keep it up.

You wrote, "...if GAs don't mean anything, can we suggest to Admin something that will ? Say $100 per good answer ?"

Gets my vote! ;-)

Congratulations to electricalexpert65's first 100!

Congratulations. Many engineers would have benefited by your answers and opinions. I think Admin should give some reward to you. Meanwhile may I suggest the Admin to organise a webpage for members/participants of CR4 to publish all web addresses/links which appeared in CR4 comments by members/participants to download free of charge valuable technical information instead of asking the same question over and over again in this forum.

Congrats EE65 and keep the good work going!

The pleasure and satisfaction associated with helping a fellow person, tangibly or intangibly, is beyond what money can buy.

100 hearty cheers!!!

Congratulations EE65. You have helped a lot of people with your GAs. Don't let anyone tell you they are worth nothing!!

Happy New Year.

Very good,Is there a list of number of Good Answers(Score 1,2,3 etc) for each participant?. How many Score 1 did you receive?.

One of these. ;-)

Well done and keep it up.My sincere and beat wishes for a happy new year

Don't you hate it when the spell checker can't check context.

"My sincere and beat wishes for a happy new year"

(beat wishes never come true.)

best wishes to you.

thanks for taking the trouble to point out my spelling mistake.

I hope you aren't offended. We've all done that before.

No question of being offended. To be honest i am thankful to you for sparing your precious time in pointing my mistake.A very special thank-you lyn.

Congratulations.

I have to admit though, I first thought this thread was about Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and misspelled.

Your first century of GAs? That's 100.

Who knocked you back to 94?

At least when I get negative, I do it right out in the open for the whole world to see.

"Who knocked you back to 94?"

That is bad, bad love. That sounds like the work of a rouge GA Ninja Assassin to me.

There's nothing worse than sneaky negativity.

"bad, bad love" "rouge GA Ninja Assassin"

I say the natural outcome of drawing attention to what has received a GA

But I'd take it as just an incentive to try for the 'best and correct' in any given thread, not that that necessarily brings GA.

"I say the natural outcome of drawing attention to what has received a GA"

Resulting in a sudden 6% negative correction?

Good point, that's fairly light-on for around here

In this context, I find that only a GA giver should have the right to take his GA back. The GA's are a beacon to browse through the posts quickly. Some pirates here find it amusing indeed to strip contributors of their GA's. AND they do this flat ANONYMOUS, bringing the didactic value of this forum down.I see it happen all the time.

I am not one to strip away someone's good answer, but I have seen some posters give GAs that are totally wrong or for ill reasons. In those instances it may make sense to demote it.

However, I would think long and hard about it.

I've seen GAs get knocked down within a thread because an answer that sounded good, turned out to be wrong, and usually someone explains why the answer is wrong.

In this case, some scumbag(s), backtracked and knocked them down just because they could.................................it's not even the act itself, it's knowing that there are people on here that actually think like that. WTF.

Like someone else said. Pulling the wings off flies.

When you're wrong, you think you're right; so, it may be possible that you'll never take your GA back.

As far as I know, an anonymous poster can't vote, can they?.

Regards

Welcome to the world of people who enjoy pulling wings off flies.

Nothing can take away from the value of the knowledge you have shared with everyone. Keep up the good work.

Hello ee65

Happy New year, I read all your comments and all are worth congratulations and may you have blessings this all year round. You deserved GA on most of your comments.

Congratulations again

Hey! You are back to 100! Very cool!

Congratulations ! You started kind of young, that's ten decades of good answers !

CR4 should start a ranking system(weekly or monthly or annually) of participants who obtained highest number of GAs,Scores 1,2,3 etc

Why?

Have I stirred a hornet's nest? By far, has this posting recorded the maximum comments?

Not even close. Have you ever broken a bath tub?

That is another one that deserves a That's Too Funny! rating!

I was starting to think we lost you. Sorry for the negative vibes man.

No, we've had plenty of, ahem..........discussions about GAs and OTs. Also times when certain people, seemingly acting in unison, have used the GA system to go out and try to settle a score, out of anger, by wiping them out..............................good members have left over it.

Congrats on hitting 100. The point I was trying to make, is that if you spend enough time here, eventually you'll probably get in a disagreement, followed by a GA point slide. I've had mine drop by 6 or 7 at a time before. Don't take it too seriously if it happens.

Congratulations to you...............I always enjoyed reading your postings(except when you write"pls attend our training programs!"............I really benefited from your valuable answers & was excepting a GA for my last second question,which you didn't.......

http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/73829#.

Thank you.

Woopty doo! I feel somewhat inferior now. Obviously I need to create numerous different aliases, and give myself GA's, so I can crack a century to. I know, I know......my negativity is not going to be very beneficial to my long term involvement with this site, and now everyone will chastise and denigrate me when I actually need some real help......but I wil get over it. Happy new years to all!

Ps. Apologies in advance, I acknowledge that there have probably been countless people that have appreciated and been thankful for a good answer EE65 has provided them. I just dont think it was necessary create a post and broadcast to the whole CR4 world this spectacular forum milestone.

can crack a century to.

You misspelled to. While it's a word, it should have been too.

Everybody likes clarity.........................no GA's required.

Thankyou Kramarat. Yes, my spelling and grammar is generally atrocious, at best.

Bring forth the criticism......

Don't hold it against yourself. I'm hearing rumors that I'm an a$$hole. It's not true. I swear it's not.

Ask anyone.
