"sounding" arrogant or other words is a problem of text based communications. Everyone hears the voice in their head read the text through the filter that they attach. I write in a very literal straight forward manner. I could care less what someone does with their money. But, if someone asks a reasonable question and has shown some effort to figure it out and not, hey who has the best sub Andrew? Thanks what's his website? Thanks here is the quality control photos is their anything wrong with the watch?
I'm not here to wipe anyone's ass. But, ask anyone I've helped. I go very far, share a stupid amount of information and time to help.
I like to help people. It's generally cost me. Usually cause I rocked the boat. I said in public what everyone told me in private is the issue but they didn't want to come forward. I'm not going to change, I haven't learned so far. Maybe I'll end up old and alone with my reps. But, i speak truth, I invite comment and dissent. This thread is titled phoband's rant. I titled it that. Is that an egomaniacal attempt to tell people how to live?
This is the most difficult way to communicate because there is no nuance. If my stuff is read as arrogant and misguided? Someone speak up, show me I'm wrong, I'll apologize and correct my error. Happy to, I fully admit I am not a watchmaker and don't pull movements apart themselves.
I gotta sleep.
