There is a difference between constructive criticism and spittle spewing rants from clueless beginners like you Jon.

Matt has agreed with some constructive criticism. Impossible to write

1100 pages where one did not feel there is some room for improvement.

Tom

You're talking about when Matt contacted my employer and tried to get me reprimanded over some postings on Usenet. If he had any balls what-so-ever, since he knew who I was and where I worked at the time, he could have dealt with me face to face. But, no, he called my boss who then asked me what the f*ck was wrong with the guy and agreed when I told him he's just your average scumbag.

You should have read the authors notes:

"The SolidWorks 2007 Bible is an 1100 page desk reference volume written by Matt Lombard of Dezignstuff. It is an in depth look at SolidWorks functionality, answering the "why does this work this way" questions, not just describing the button pushes like the basic introduction books. The SolidWorks Bible is intended primarily for intermediate and advanced users, although there is also some material for beginners." From the Author

One book review criticism stated you needed to know a lot about SolidWorks, please note where it says for intermediate and advanced users.

Then there is Jon who wants more button pusher tutorials, please note where it says it is not just button pushing.

Then there is you again Jon, a beginner, please read the part where it says for intermediate and advanced users with SOME material for beginners again.

Still with all your spittle spewing rants about the deficiencies of SolidWorks 2007 Bible it still doesn't stop you Jon from Parroting the SolidWorks Bible and posting your SolidWorks crib notes and misrepresenting them as if it were your original thoughts and content lately.

Tom

And just what good would that have done? You have already demonstrated near-zero socialization/consideration.

But, no, he called my boss who then asked me what the

Yeah, but don't think the boss didn't start wondering about you, as well. And rightfully so.

But another person added to that long and ubiquitous line, waiting to beat your g-d ass.

Tom, watch this video (with the volume turned up!) and tell me this isn't EXACTLY how you picture JB when he's attempting to use Solidworks, or trying to select chains in Mastercam.

Unacceptable by any standard with few exceptions.

What?

1) Going real life over some Usenet postings? 2) Dealing with a person face to face over Usenet postings? 3) Both 1 and 2?

He didn't. He couldn't give a f*ck less what I was doing on an online venue on my own time. What he cared about was making money and I made more money for him than any other cnc guy who ever worked for him did.

This video is MUCH more accurate...

Appologies to all Germans.

Going to someone's employer over a Usenet posted opinion.

Hahah....the funniest thing is what came up after the video, in the two more videos they show .... one was titled "I pimped my dog".

That's what I thought, just wanted to be sure. It's an extremely low thing to do. If I'm not mistaken, I think the auk folk have an award for people like that.
