its kind of sad that this subject actually has to be put on a sticky, you would figure people would learn lol

the problem is that people won't read this, and they won't read the link and they certainly won't read the manual...it's like the people that said they didn't see the thread about language on the boards.

sorry, language is kind of a habit for me lol, i try to work at it, but the manual is pure common sence, no one does nearly as nice a job at manuals as WDP, and if you dont understand them then it is like culling the bad traits out of the herd :p

you don't know how true that is until you almost get your finger chopped out from fan blade or nearly electrocute yourself. One of my screwdrivers tips was actually bent from the high voltage kick one time assemblying something i rather not say. Lucky the handle was plastic.

USED to be in IT, that gets annoying but in other fields it can be life and death.

Manuals are for women and guys that cant figure it out themselves. I'm not saying that they should feel free to ask really stupid questions on this forum, but it's all about pride guys. Diagrams are acceptable tho.

Diagrams are acceptable tho.I see you're not going to be a brain surgeon nor an astrophysisist. Hell, even writing the manual you need to consult another manual for guidance. Maybe if you read a manual you'd know pain is in the mind and can be removed from your thoughts so there is no pain.

I agree that I'm not gonna be anything great because my principles are unreasonable and moderately sexist. The name "painhurts" comes from a country song and is part of the line "pain hurts but only for a minute. life is short so go ahead and live it" I know that ur probably not a country fan..as very few are.....but thats my defense. :clap:

or..... "painhurts" is similar to "love stinks". I mean if you listen to the song, it's similar to the description of "painhurts". So, you're not so screwed up. But just don't be so defensive....]

Truly a great manual. But if noobs don't read manuals, why would they even read that.
