Do you see how long this thread is.

Do you see how few usefull information is in it.

I think you owe the visitors of this newsgroup an apology by helping
creating that.

LOL. That's kinda rich, considering the number of posts you've made in
it... It was already pretty long before I responded at all, of course.
Do you know what is the name for people who make such long threads with only
one reason and that is to get an answer and answer again.

(Jeff (with that name) is in mine opinion not a regular visitor to this
newsgroup who place or answers himself here questions, I did a Google search
on that, when that was like that I had never written this.)

Again, could you rewrite that sentence? I didn't understand the last
bit.
However he has given a good answer, it keeps for me that the way he was
anwering did give me the idea he was trolling me.

So do you think people aren't entitled to express concern about your
constant pleas for people to post in the VB.NET group? I notice you
haven't actually addressed that issue, by the way.
If he sais he did not, I
am the first to make my appoliges as you should know. (By the way I never
have seen that done by you)

Then you certainly haven't read all my posts :) When I've turned out to
be wrong about something (either technical or about someone's intents)
I apologise.

I still haven't seen you apologise for claiming that all responders in
this newsgroup other than yourself are trolls, however. It's one of the
most ridiculous claims I've seen made in any newsgroup, to be honest.
 
What is your definition of trolling? I don't see anything in my posts
indicating a troll. I showed concern that you were cutting off this
newsgroup of valuable information by redirecting the post to VB.NET
newsgroup.

As always you try to put a sentence completly out of its context.

However I will accept that you was tickling me as I do often you and knowed
I never would have said that outside that context of the thread and than I
can laugh about it.

Hi Jeff

Trolling is keeping a thread going by giving a message, while there are no
new arguments.

However maybe I did see it wrong about you there was no offence meant in my
message to you, only especially this newsgroup is full of trolling people
(absolute not the most), that has its charm as well however in this
newsgroup I am suspicious.

I was keeping the thread going separately with Anony in the language.vb
group. My message was because I find it annoying that I am answering here in
really language.vb code. His application is now 100 times faster he told.

Okay, try putting it in context for me. How can anyone possibly read
that *except* for you saying that everyone who answers except you is
trolling? What "context" is there that can possibly excuse that claim?

Whatever the context, your comment was unacceptably rude, IMO.

I'm glad his application is a lot faster - but it's not faster because
of anything VB.NET-specific. It's faster because he's using
StringBuilder which is the sensible answer whatever the language. He
could have been using C# or C++ and the answer would have been the
same. So, how exactly is it specific to VB.NET in your view?

So what .NET language is supposed to be used here in the general .NET
newsgroup, or the .NET framework newsgroup or the .NET framework performance
newsgroup?
 
Jeff,

One of the rules from the newsgroups is that regulars help new visitors to
find the right newsgroup.

The dotnet.general newsgroup is in my opinion the newsgroup for what that
count the most.

I have had long discussions in the language.vb group because there was
nothing answered what had to do with vb.net webdevelopment or even the
slightes Adonet question. Now that is normally answered as well as other
language.vb related parts of the framework.

We can disagree if this is a question for the framework group or the control
group, however that is a matter of taste. When you had stated that, than
probably I would not have had much comments and had told that that was an
option to crosspost.

Hi Jay,
You mean knowing that I am a regular from the general group you do as Jon
not read it in its context as it was meant.

In the dotnet general group with exception from mine answer there are *in
this thread* only
troll answers

When you keep that, I will place a general excuse in the dotnet general
group referencing to you and Jon, because I never would insult in general
the visitors there.

If you'd said that, I would have disagreed (pointing out that the
question is *not* a VB-specific one isn't trolling) but I wouldn't have
been as affronted.

It certainly wasn't clear that you meant that originally though. If
you'd just corrected yourself much earlier, it would have saved a lot
of hassle.

Well that's *certainly* not how it came across, to me at least.

I think what Jon was disagreeing with, and a point that I disagree with also
is, "this thread there only troll answers".

You directed a thread of discussion away from this newsgroup to the VB.NET
newsgroup, a thread that have every right being here since its main topic
was .NET Framework classes and a thread that I find valuable to myself even
though I don't use VB.NET. You then say there is only trolls in this thread.
The only thing I can be convicted of in my eyes is showing concern, and you
labelled me a troll. Real nice.

That was some constructive snipping. Let's see what I *actually*
posted:

It's clear from my post that what I would have disagreed with was the
idea that the only posts in this thread other than yours are troll
posts.

So you do agree now that you knew from the first moment that it was about
this thread and you where only insulting me from things I never would do,
and did construct arguments which where not based on truth.

That is often with kids who know that there own case is weak, than they
start insulting people from things that others know that those people never
would do.

However I always try to be polite, this is my last message in this thread,
it shows by its length and the fact that there is nothing new added (in this
thread) by the contributers in this thread from the dotNet.general group
after my first message in that news group, that I am right.

In the language.vb newsgroup it had for me much value because Anony did some
tests, which gave at least me some new insight.

When you want to learn something from it, the language.vb group is a public
newsgroup, so why not have a look at it.

By the way, I did not redirect something, that was Anony's own decision; I
did only give him an advice.
 
Man your logic is warped. You are the one who started the insulting with the
troll comment. You are the one who gave him the idea to cut off the thread
here. If you did not give him the advice the thread would have grown here
and VB.NET with none of our comments added on! Plus it would have been a lot
shorter thread if you had honored our request to not redirect people away
from this news group.

No. It wasn't clear from your post that you were only talking about
this thread, whereas I believe it was clear from my comment which bit
of your post I disagreed with.

Click to expand...

Yes, but you gave him advice based on what I believe was a false
premise - namely that his question was really a VB.NET language
question, whereas in fact it was a general .NET question about the
efficiency of string concatenation, which is answered in terms of using
StringBuilder.

I have enough from you ever making comment on my posts.

Why not just accept that you're wrong? :-) We all make mistakes at times.
When you can do it better show it, however not with telling what it is
wrong, but with giving the right answers and not with a dump link to that
Jon Skeet page where than is seldom a real answer.
Tell it to how to do it better.
Click to expand...

Well, why would Jon want to re-type out the same answers again and again
when they're already on his web page? Perhaps he made the relevant
pages for the sole purpose of linking to them in replies to calls for
help on these newsgroups? I don't know...
