Whats with this "not wanting" crap ? Did I miss something again besides my parole hearing ? I always considered the level of negativity pretty low around here compared to other places.  Don't leave or not participate just because maybe one or two schmos out of a 1000+ represent a sign of general discontent with you.

If can't get to a computer or you gotta work on biz thats cool but don't leave on that account.

Ansil,
U cant go man, ur a big name around here! Just coz some jerks give you some hate mail doesnt mean to leave! Screw them, we all know your great at helping us.
On the other hand, ur right, making your pedals is a good reason to come on here less, but dont go 4 good...

My New Year Resolution was "post fewer, but better". But, like all resolutions.. :oops:

I'm sure we'll hear more from you Ansil, and glad to!

Come on Ansil, you inspired me to screw around with LM386s and use 555 timers for something they aren't supposed to be used and general cool stuff comes out! :P

I want you here even if it's just for a chat about why Spanish is easier than French ;)

Ansil... man...


I got interested here and made my first post, you went out of your way to e-mail me and talk to me about things and help me on my way. I don't know why anyone would not want you here man.

Hope you don't leave us man.

Your new buddy,

Sic

Ansil is sort of the unsung hero, IMHO.  He is often quite hard to understand, for whatever reason, and always just a bit irritable  :wink: but he really knows his stuff, and has contributed a lot.

Post by: petemoore on February 01, 2004, 05:26:02 PM
I care if what you are thinking is cool vibe...
 basically Ansil you have an interesting and unique approach to posting, your character shows in them [personally I respect and enjoy your posts]
and soem ppl are just jealous at your happy go luckyness [which I find refreshing !!!].
 We've been through too much...don't let them buggars twist ya...I know it's a tuff row for a character such as yours to hoe...being a liked individual with convictions...ya might attract a few haters...
 You do what you have to...as I always say "things change"...adding..."and so do I".
  I like changes...
 I like to play the new bar...at the old bar. for instance ppl know your moves...after being studied, and being made to or offering any viewpoints, however valid of imperfct or perfect, the 'picker' [hasslers] have been able to study you and try to spot any weakpoints.  This will change you, and or your environment...
  Percentages...I think I read at least 99.8% of your posts. I don't remember being upset at any of them.
  If you don't ignore the slight change in environment you percieve here, and fade, then I'll be upset !!!
  By the way Ansil...Ive been working with the 386's,...and don't know/haven't found what I'm 'looking for'.
  Could you send me an impartial schematic of a 386  type ckt that will get me on the road toward what you're getting that you like?
 So far it's Big Daddy w/AMZ tone control and a Smash Drive [which I cant' seem to find now], using RS 386's and NTE 823.
 Thanks in advance...hagglers do taint the novelty fun...forget that...like I want to pick through and find where I upset somebody like courtroom...lol..
  Never argue with an idiot...he/she will simply drag you down to their level /// and beat you with experience !!!

Ansil:

I hope you reconsider your idea of "retiring" from the forum.  If you've gotten "negative communication" from some individuals, it's probably because they don't have the computing capacity to understand you.  I doubt it would be from any of the regular contributors here.  It certainly wouldn't have been from me!

I think you're a great example of what experience and tinkering can produce.  You could probably snag an EE degree if it could be done by demonstrating some of your 386 "experiments" and some of those circuit snippets I've seen.

Take care of business and then come back...

I can't imagine why anyone would be hassling you.

I'm new to this site and all I've ever seen you do is try to be helpful.

My wife was asking just yesterday about what happened to the penguin in the freezer farting out icecubes.

I think when the time is right for Ansil, Ansil will be back. Were ready when you are Ansil.  :D
Until then, I think everyone should live by Pete's words:

QuoteNever argue with an idiot...he/she will simply drag you down to their level /// and beat you with experience!!

Great stuff Pete!!!
