Again here we go start bashing me again, when my dad got killed Star Trek saved me because I could escape to a place which streched my imagination and diverted me from the emotional pain I was in

I think I missed something somewhere.

Please be sure someone actually meant what was said. Most answers that look that way turn out to be (bad) jokes around here.

hang on...

Chill the beans a half-second, Darkstar, no-one's bashing you outright. You're obviously new to the whole bulletin board thingy, and having some trouble finding your niche (although just coming out with numbers (Numb-ers)is the prevailing trend - joke ).

You say that when your father died, ST provided you with a chance to escape for a little while, to take your mind off the awful tragedy that you'd experienced. That's perfectly understandable, and your love of Trek is clearly evident in the time you put into coming up with thoses afore-mentioned Numb-ers on various things e.g. distances and warp tables.

It's just that some of those here dislike reams and reams of numbers being jammed down their throats without much explanation as to their origins. How about setting yourself up with some web space (Tripod, Geocities, etc.) and then you could make tables/graphs/maps of your stuff, and then post the links so those interested could peruse them at their leisure. You could also have decent, in-depth explanations of where the Numb-ers came from, who you may have collaborated with, and the like.

Not only that, but it'll also grant you the tme to refine your ideas, and dare I say it, your typed English. I'm sorry, but it is exceedingly hard to read most of your posts - even the one you opened the thread with needed 2 or 3 readings before the gist hit me.

Think about what you want to say, put it into words in your head, type it out, then read what you've typed and see if the rest of us could decipher it without having to resort to some Rosetta Stone analogue.

[/LECTURE MODE]

Just give things a bit more thought, be a tad more considerate to those non-anally-retentive amongst us that haven't a notion of trawling through loads of Numb-ers, and you'll soon start...em, doing something right.

Peace.


General Discussion isn't the place for this, BTW - to the Flameboard or OL, hmm?

Darkstar, I'd request that you e-mail me with the quotes you consider offensive to you, who posted them, and the name of the thread you found it in. You can mail me at [email protected] .

Until then, I do not want this to start into a full fledged confrontation. This thread will be closed. Do not take this offensively, Darkstar, it's for your protection and the protection of this forum.
