That doesn't make me feel that I should.

content: "Perceived" attitude? Try demonstrated attitude.When tasked about their lack of punctuation, their response was - quite simply - arrogant. No consideration was given that maybe, justmaybe, there are some people in the world that might find a more conciliatory response more agreeable.You can argue all you like, but you only get one chance to make a first impression.The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.That's my take - and I'll leave this thread with it.

content: It does matter and the longer people are around forums such as this the more they tend to appreciate not only a well written piece but also the exchange of civil and courteous communication regardless of its content, it costs nothing to be nice.I got called out once for excessive apostrophes and then told everyone reading where to go, only once and I wont do that ever again in a hurry. Another member recently posted a huge paragraph without punctuation and after reading the entire submission yesterday I turned blue in the face and almost passed out, FFS give me a break.

content: It is a great place especially if you have boat.i would fish the bay I had adequate means to do so. Also I really hope that listing still contains the masterpiece it list as far as my giveaway entry I'm entering statistics I understand that I may not win .which while that would suck a little bit that would ok I'm sure whoever gets it really deserves it .like the 17 year autistic kid who reminds very much of my self (lol I have aspergers that has been argued to no longer officially be called aspergers but lower on the autism spectrum) no joke my "lab" looks exactly like his. plus I'm not at home right now (for extended and crappy reasons that belong on this forum) . I know I may not win and choose to humble and would even purchase a broken one not only to endeavor to have a wonderful working scope but also learn more about it's innards up close and personal just I like to be taughtAnd I seriously apologize for not punctuating I have a tendency to not do so in situations that I often view as informal. also knowing people are going to be reading to themselves and not run out breathI do the same thing on YouTube comments. But full well understand punctuation and have usually reserved it for writing papers letters or some for of formal notice

content: Quote from: SKHILLBILLYSlures on July 02, 2017, 06:06:34 pmSKHILLBILLY,Welcome to the forum. Different online spaces have different vibes, cultures and norms. When you join a new space it's worth taking a minute to figure out how people communicate, you can still be you but if you are too far outside the norms you will be ignored quickly. This is not 4Chan, or the Youtube comments section, it is a technical forum filled with often pedantic and detail orientated engineers.I often find myself doing the opposite to you, being too formal in informal online spaces and it has exactly the same effect, it gets in the way of communication.Keep your eye on Craigslist, you'll find a working scope for pennies if you are patient. If you are unsure about model numbers etc, post here (with some punctuation :-) and you will get the help you need.Cheers,Ruairi

It works flawlessly and is in good condition. He is out of stock now, but there are always good deals that can be had for almost every hobbist who dosen't need to work with RF above 500Mhz. Just keep an eye out.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tektronix-TDS-340A-TDS340A-2-Channel-Real-Time-Oscilloscope-100HMz-500MS-s/142444766596?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
