[GpsFrontier]

It took me some time to finally figure out what is going on here for a while, now - but I have got it now!

I am truly sorry to make this personal again, - but as IT IS PERSONAL, I can't avoid treating it as such.

You have not got it at all, just making assumptions again because everything is personal to you.

As I said: something strange has been going on for a while now - but it has a clear pattern. GPS, replies to almost every post and to every point - no matter if he knows the answer, has experience, or any truly valuable information. Some second guesses, many personal suspicions and false alerts, some common or rather odd misconceptions. Well, the whole enchilada and even some severe cognitive issues included.

I do try to bring up things to think about ,that might be of a concern to people when building your systems. Why? Because it cost time and money to do it over again just because you missed something simple in the beginning. Not always do you need to do things all over, but functionality is important. But the decisions are theirs to make if the issues apply to them.

I also try to elaborate on what it is, and/or possible issues that you might come across because of them. I let the other person decide if it is important to them or not. I have been told many times that they wish they thought of something before they built there system. Also it is not just about the people in the threads, many people read the threads that never register or reply to them. That is also why I bring up points to think about (key words "think about") when building there systems.

But then someone steps in with quite often real or more advanced knowledge, perhaps a few correction, more info, suggestions - or whatever.

I like it when others provide more info and suggestions, even corrections. Why? They help me with my systems. But When they defy the laws of physics or nature, I need to do more explaining because something is wrong somewhere. There is no one in this forum I would consider an expert, I certainly don't consider myself an expert. I have always explained that I am not an expert, but don't take that to mean I don't know anything about hydroponics or things in general either. There are many other people with valuable experiences and information to share in this forum. Even the so called "newbies" and new people have brought up new ideas that were helpful to me (and others too I'm sure).

GPS steps in again and gets real smart all of a sudden. He jealously pics up every bit and bite from the previous posts and embellishes it, illustrates it or simply expresses the exact same thing in a slightly different way.

This is where you get you get a bug up your butt and take everything personal, and you take everything personal because you want to.

When time permits, he googles a bit around with the newly acquired input and keywords, .

Of course I try to learn more about hydroponics when I can. Although, there is nothing in this thread I didn't already know. Except the questions about using charcoal as a growing medium. Even though I don"t think it would be cost effective for me, it's possible and would like to know more. If you are referring about the statement about the "Non Recovery drip system," You are only flattering yourself. I have known about that for well over six months, including what it's actually called. Again you take something simple and make it personal for no reason, because you want to take everything personal.

While he is at it, he tries to discredit some of what was written previously, even if he is deadly wrong again, it is not exactly necessary or a rather ambiguous matter.

If it defies the laws of nature and physics, I will want to them to explain, give examples etc.. Like I do, because if it dosen't make scene it most likely won't work (if that discredits someone, sorry). If it was an ambiguous matter you wouldn't take it so personal.

to complete or garnish with pictures which are actually copyright protected and are illegally linked here from his end, instead of a reference or a link to the original site)

I'm glad you know what site they images are from because I don't (do share if you like). As I have explained before, I search images using Google, Bing and yahoo images. Then save them to a folder on my computer for later use. These images don't come with a link to any site or URL, nor do they have titles and descriptions. Sometimes yahoo, Bing and Google might have a link to the site the image is from. I do sometimes visit the sites from that link, but I have no way to log the site to the image that I saved to my computer. Also I only visit probably 5% of the websites this way. It would take me hours upon hours to find a site a particular image came from that I have saved. Even then I have no way to know if it's the original source.

They pick up the images from various sources not just commercial websites. Sometimes if the source is from flicker, it might say the images is copy written. But most times it just says it may have a copyright. That's just flickers disclaimer, and the only way to tell if the image is copy written or not would be to contact the original source directly. If it says it's copy written, I don't save it. Otherwise I will if it's something I like. That does not mean that the image is from the original source either. One image may be on the internet in thousands of locations, the only way to tell if it is copy written, is if you are at the original source. True I may have copy protected images that were not from the original source.

For any place that wanted to protect there images, there are two ways to do so. The simplest one is to disable the "save image as" function when you right click an image. This is a simple thing to do for the website owner. You just install a line of code in the source code of the pages you want it disabled for. Another one is to install a watermark in the image. They can still copy the image if you didn't disable the function, but you can prove where the image comes from. This is also a deterrent because most people wont want them with the watermark, and there is still a way of getting the image by taking a screen shot. Cutting the image out of the screen shot and converting it back to a jpg. I have never done this. There were a few times I wanted to but didn't want to take the time to figure out how to convert it back to a jpg.

That way he tries to fool everyone, and jealously and recklessly tries to gather all the credit for every single valuable bit others have actually said and provided.

Again you only flatter yourself by thinking I don't know anything, so I must have only learned something from you. Truth is I cant think of anything I learned from you (nothing important anyway).

Without consideration for the others - not for the actual authors, nor for the readers of the thread! Even the origins/authors of all the pictures get no credit and sources aren't mentioned either, as it could draw some attention from his "performance".

Again I don't/cant keep track of links to images. I do however believe I did visit the site the image of the vertical non recovery drip system came from. Only because if I remember correctly they were taken in south America, or Puerto Rico. I think it was a school, or aid program it was about, if you are interested in looking for it. I have had that image as well as another from the same place for months. The other two I have also had for months but don't remember anything about them.
