Thanks Lee. Another good idea from the forum. This is how forums should work, not some burnout with a bad attitude ripping you apart when you ask a question.

Thanks for the quick and informative reply. That makes more sense than the ramblings from the earlier reply by crazy Bob. Since the power button is on the back of the unit, and in our case, rack mounted with other deeper rack equipment, my editors have to go behind the rack,crouch down, reach into the maze of cables, find the power button and reset the unit. Has AJA thought about putting a “Refresh” button on the control panel software? Thanks again, and yes I will be visiting your booth.

“Flaming” refers to the berating of a person in an Internet newsgroup, Web forum or e-mail list by others in the group. Usually, a flame consists of numerous nasty e-mail messages and is provoked, perhaps unwittingly, by its victim’s posts. Follow these simple steps to ensure that your Internet communications are friendly and flame retardant.

Instructions

STEP 1: Review the forum’s FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to familiarize yourself with the rules and procedures of the discussion. (I did that)

STEP 2: Scan recent postings to make sure your topic hasn’t already been addressed. Newsgroup and Web forum regulars generally find redundant posts extremely irritating (particularly if the topic is addressed in the group’s FAQ). (Nothing listed)

STEP 3: Post messages that are relevant to the topic of the forum. (Yep)

STEP 4: Avoid posting advertisements, even if they’re related. These are often irritating. (No problem)

STEP 5: Post messages with substance. Avoid posting messages like “Me too” and other empty, uninteresting remarks. (Mine was to the point)

STEP 6: Make sure your subject headings are clear and concise. For example, if you want to verify a new e-mail virus alert on an urban legends message board, type “New e-mail virus alert” instead of “Is this real?” (Clear as day)

STEP 7: Avoid petty insults and irrelevant banter. (No insults by me)

STEP 8: Respond to a post via e-mail if your message is directed toward an individual rather than all users of the group. Remember that all posts are visible to all users. (Can do)

STEP 9: Avoid flaming back if you’re flamed. If you made a mistake to provoke the flame, apologize to the group. ( Don’t think so…… EAT S–T Crazy BOB!!!)
