From the moment I joined PPCGeeks as a a green--XV6700--noob in July of this year, I was always encouraged by you and PDAPhoneJunkie to ask questions without worry about how stupid or "retarded" they were. It's that same kind of helpful spirit that makes a person welcome and prompted me to give of my time (which I don't really have) to help others as I've become more knowledgeable about my 6700.
In my follow-up explanation and the basis of my obviously retarded question of "Bootloader 1.04. Is that too far over?" I was looking for input on an issue of firmware compatibility in light of what seemed to be minor numerical version change and not a challenge to what math skills I should have learned in elementary school. While I don't mind having my childhood computational skills questioned, an additional statement of "small bootloader version changes are huge when cooking ROM's" would have enhanced my learning about PPC functionality.
Now, please don't misunderstand me as some uptight d**k head who can't take a joke and a little bantering. My non-cyber personal friends will be the first ones to tell you not to take my sarcasm and jokes seriously. However, I have noticed a trend towards impatience and a lack of tolerance for those still seeking to learn about their device. The more that continues, the less of a learning community this will become.
I understand we all go through difficult times in our personal lives, often misdirecting our intentions and affecting how we come across to people. PDAPhoneJunkie, if things have not been as smooth in your life as you'd like them to be, I really wish you the best and welcome an opportunity to help through PM dialog...(though, I have no money or a job to offer you.
