Hey, tube.
Please re-read my comments. I was castigating myself for MY not speaking clearly when I was speaking (i.e. "soliciting advice"). I was a bit angry at myself for not reporting the tube number right in my 333, and also for originally reporting that the "use no ion trap" sticker was in my 325 when it wasn't. I chided myself somewhat and then vowed to "speak more precisely" in the future. At NO POINT did I criticize a single word of yours. At no point did I imply that anyone else should refrain from saying anything. I was only speaking about myself. Please re-read my comments and tell me where I asked anyone (other than myself) not to say anything about anything at anytime, ever. I thought that was clear. If it was not, I sincerely apologize. To you and to the forum.
Please lighten up. I had no ill will whatsoever in any of my writing, I have none now. I clearly appreciated your comments and I believe I thanked you for them in several places. I'm glad you told me what you know about single-field ion traps vs. double-field ion traps vs. no trap at all, and when and where and why you thought each was necessary. I thought that letting you know (and others know) that magnets weren't working in my situation was helpful, informative, and perhaps entertaining information, both to you and to others. Should I have lied and said the magnets worked, just to make you feel good about yourself? Are you so insecure that when I doublechecked your facts against a book (and found your original statement to be wrong) that you have to lash out, call people "idiot", and then refuse to ever lend a hand ever again? This is the behavior of a kindergartner.
Not entirely sure I'm the one who needs to "chill out".
In your rant above, you say that "what you make out of studying the manual" is that "A does not necessarily mean aluminized". Two posts earlier you said "A stands for aluminized". Complete contradiction, both stated as fact. I found out from independent study that A does not mean aluminized. I believe we completely agree on that question now. I don't think we did earlier. I was simply clarifying. Should I have not pointed out your earlier statement? Should I have let a third pary or fourth party or fifth party read the statement and use the information? Or was it so much of an offense to point out the error that I should have just remained silent, so as not to disturb your fragile ego? Really? I'm sorry if pointing out a misstatement caused you such grief that you felt you had to jump all down my throat for doing so. Really, I was just trying to advance the understanding for everyone. I guess that was wrong. Sorry, everyone else, for correcting Tubejunke on a mistake. We should never do that. Ever.
In fact I was just part of the caring group of people who gives a rat's a** about the next guy down the line who might have had the same problem.
I don't think this forum is for children to cry foul and act injured and make silly threats. Please don't call me "pal". Farthest thing from. If you "WONT try it again", don't. Free country. Sorry I bothered you. Really didn't mean to.
Thanks for sucking all the air out of the room. This place was fun, now it's not.
