Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Why are some people so impatient?
Jesper,
I found this a little bit rude, he is talking about me and I will explain why...
My first question to Richard was about some SDS6 problem and if he can share the midi conversion with me, his answer was very helpful but saddly I am not technician and I will never be because I am simply "not interested" and without asking for it he sent me a schematic, Do I need to be able to read schematics to join this group or to ask questions?
This is Richard answer "There are plenty of websites, book etc that deal with electronics, micro-controllers etc so you should use them to help yourself get some knowledge before diving into an area you no nothing of. If a person can't be bothered doing their own research why should another person be expected to do it for them?"
I am not interested in electronics, I just wanted to know if "maybe" the sds6 problem was a little fix that I can do myself.
After 3 emails he replied very fast I got no emails back anymore from Richard, then I really was worried about "maybe I said something that upset him" that was my first thought and I email him a couple of more times...
I have not too much free time, a waiter at work found this group and comment about it to me (I have 3 Indian restaurants and saddly I speak 99% of my days in another language, sorry about my broken english), I just wanted information because is what people is looking for in this groups right?, I am not here to make friends or talk about our personal life.
I just wanted 2 things: 1) how to burn a eprom and the sds6 midi conversion...that's all
I think to Richard If a person have no "some skills" , that person don't deserve to ask or something like that.
I exchanged 5 or 6 emails with him and in any of them there is a straight answer to my simple questions and that obviously leads to another email asking the same unanswered question!
Another very kind user sent me all the info I needed in 10 lines and I am very happy about it because is not big deal, is simple...
If someday I can help another member i will do it :)
Thank you Jesper
Clive
