Just FYI, what you just said is also false. 50/1000th's IS .05 which is also 5/100. So before you go off trying to do that, you better make damn well sure your information is straight as well.

Funny, I feel like I said that. Oh yeah, I did.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by kpt4321 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

How does that work? 50/1000 = .05
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Looks like my information WAS stright, and you simply cannot read.

b20ek: You got owned because you said this:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by b20ek &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
.05 would = 50/100
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Machine4321: If he had a typo of .005, then why does your first post say .05? Oh, right, that is because his post originally said .05. Then, you were trying to say that .05 was less than 30 thou.

Don't remember? Here is the quote:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by machine4321 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
0.05 seems to little to be a whole tooth off..i could understand lik 30thou or more but mabye you timming is off a tooth ???
</TD></TR></TABLE>

That very clearly implies that you thought 30 thou was more than .05

It also very clearly shows that his ORIGINAL post said .05, and that you cannot use that "typo" as an excuse because it was not there when you posted.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by b20ek &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
And if you look at the date and time I modified my post it was a whole day before you ever even posted
</TD></TR></TABLE>

Well, you obviously did something with your computer's date and time, or the server, in an attempt to save face. I know for a fact that it said .05 when I posted, but that is probably not proof enough for you.

However. Machine4321 posted on the 20th, which supposedly is AFTER you edited your post, but yet he still used .05? If you had really edited that number on the 19th, machine never would have seen the .05, and he never would have included it in his post.

One more thing I have a problem with: Simply because I do not have as high a post count as you, poison, means that I have a lesser intellect? Why is it that the amount of times I have commented on things matters?

I agree that this has gotten way out of control, and that I could have been nicer about it in the first place. I apologise for that.

On the other hand, I was right, those two guys were wrong, and post count should not have anything to do with this.

One more thing....

How is it that you edited your post on the 19th, when you started the thread on the 20th?

You just got caught cheating while trying to cover your ***. Doh.

Just in case you try to change that too, here is a quote:

Funny, that date and time is 8 hours before this thread even existed.

Ya you feel like you said it, because you did, and you were correct. However you also said this:

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by kpt4321 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">
Note: He modified his original post to display the correct number, after he realized that 50/1000 was not .05.
</TD></TR></TABLE>

We do not need to get litteral here. This debate is OT and immature which doesn't solve anything in the first place.

I never stated how stupid you were and what kind of intellect you had. I called you a n00b because it means newbie to the board.

Yes they were, and you went out of line by calling him an "idiot" in the first place which sparked the fire on this whole BS. You offended him by calling him an idiot right off hand for a simple mistake. This is why I called you a n00b.

But apology is accepted. Don't go having a sour face towards people already when you just come here to the board. We are not here to do that. If you have input on helping someone out in the Tech forum you KNOW about, then throw your suggestion at the person to help fix the problem. Not sit there and insult them for crap.

I despise people giving false information with no experience and such, because that can cost people more problems, more $$ and more down time when working on things is already stressful. But him stating ".05 isn't much and .03 is more anyways" isn't a very big deal, but still false. So correct him and let him learn from it. Not insult him.

'nuff said.
