This is where reputation points can be very useful. Those of us who feel that there is to much needless posting going on, should be assigning negative reputation points to those needless posts. This way the posters can begin to see that they're upsetting people, clogging up space, and making it very difficult to find important information in a timely manner.

ChiefDelphi has become one of the best tools in FIRST, lets try our hardest to keep it that way. =)

one of the beautiful things about having the WHOLE MANUAL in pdf format is the lastest version of acrobat allows you to put all the files in one directory and:

SEARCH ALL OF THEM FOR SPECIFIC WORDS!!!

WOOHOO!

so if you need info on wires, open the first section of the manual, and search on 'wire' in all pdfs in that directory

if you want to know what is NOT allowed - search on the word 'not'

!

so much computational power at your disposal - right there on your desk

it would be a crime not to use it!

I know we're supposed to reduce traffic and not say "what he said," but I just wanted to post here to send this up to the top of the portal again so more people will see it. Is it possible to put this request as a blurb like Brandon does all the time on the front of the site?

I'm guilty of this crime as well, but we can make things work better. Good luck to all as usual.

One more piece of advice. USE PRIVATE MESSAGING! If someone is responding to someone directly or asking them a direct question, send them a private message and not on the board where everyone has to read your personal conversation.

This IS an announcement on the portal. No need for bumping, which is, after all, prohibited by the rules here.
