[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
...wow! I, ....I'm afraid I just don't know what to say. Of course I love helping people. It gives one a sense of contribution and personal satisfaction to help others. Helps you with Karma and all that, if you believe in that stuff. (I do, and God too. So I "play by the rules, God's rules, and it makes me a better person for it. Okay, not going to play the religion card in here, just helping you understand my background a bit.) But Jake, the purpose of this thread is to help you gain more experience and post count of helping others for your promotion to an Admin here at XDA. Everyone is all for it. We "want" you to become Admin because we believe in you, your skills and abilities, and your zest and zeal in helping others. If this will compromise your chances of gaining the promotion of which you seek, then deal me out. Or even if it would "water down" your assistance to the community, I can easily be satisfied in just knowing that I made a difference, however small, in helping those with technical issues and I go off to the side and deal with social issues.

A lot of people never consider that aspect of running or participating in a help and news forum like this and the Main Thread. I often talk to people that I really cannot directly help with issues, to reassure them that help is coming, offer logical suggestions, ask for details so that anyone that *can* help, will better see their opportunity to be able to help. Like the guy with Screencast. He never got an answer to several requests, and although I have no idea of what he is talking about, I asked him, point blank, what is screencast? (I thought it was some sort of TV or Movie web service or something. So he explained it as being similar to HDMI to another screen, just done with wireless, others THEN joined in to help, now that they know what it is and yes, it IS in the Settings menu of cm11. Or just as important, welcome the newbies into the group and let them have their say. Too many Senior Members I have seen (Not so much in our thread or main.), belong to this nonsense "Old Boy Club" that pokes fun at newbies, give them the RTFM BS runaround, and can sometimes be just plain mean. I will NOT tolerate it! So I will either give them a "what for" or find another way to shame them into ceasing this juvenile behavior. I also make friends easy, once people accept that I cannot say *anything* in one or two sentences. (The come to realize that I am actually a "good guy" and back off and become friendly.) So, if a part techie, part social worker is what you want, you got it man.

You know, being the sole owner of a help thread can be a bit taxing at times. When I am ill or run out of medicine refills prematurely, I am not up to talking or find it very difficult. Same goes for you, if you are ill, away, getting married, or have other things to do, not even you can be here 24/7. It is a good idea to have a partner and I am up to task if you wish. But seriously, if this is in ANY way cause you to lose promotion points, deal me out! It will not hurt my feelings and you can PM me about it. Okay? So even down the road, if you want the wheel 24/7, I will step out, no problemo mi amigo. Thank you, thank you very much, pleasure to work with you.

Um, one request please. Craig is a good guy, has techical experience and does have questions to ask but cannot do so in the main thread, which is developer and off posting limits to newbies w/out at least 10 posts, help me help him achieve his goal so that he may advance enough to move around and speak in the main thread. Thank you. Let the show begin! :highfive: :D
