You, sir, are a fucking knob.

what an asshole - how am I a "fucking knob" if the price of ram is half of
what was posted.  nowhere in his post is there anything saying that he was
australian or that he was talking about australian dollars.  If there was
some indication that he was talking about Australian currency I would have
left it alone.  Since this newsgroup is also not country specific, it was my
natural reaction to read the dollar sign as american dollars.  Shit, those
prices would be AWSOME if they were Hong Kong dollars........

Yes indeed. So good to see how a common interest leads to harmony
across the world.
Where would we all be without this wonderful communications tool.

bit of a turnaround, usually the complaints come because of crossposting by
US into Australian Groups.

Ok. You tell me where you can get them for half the price.

Before we all get too hot under the collar, let's note
that Mr. Hayes for some reason cross-posted the original
to ALT.<whatever> as well as all the AUS.<etc> groups.

I don't have any idea which group "e1000" reads....

Well that's what you get for crossposting to foreign newsgroups and not 
specifically saying it's in AUS$. :)

The original poster's email address doesn't have a .au in it too.

This tells me nothing, give details of where in *AUSTRALIA* you can buy 64meg
for $47.50.

This is a fair call IMHO.  The universal trading currency worldwide is
US$ if not stated otherwise, so I think e1000 made a fair comment.

Anyone who's ever done any importing/exporting will know this is true.
If you restrict posts to those newsgroups which a obviously and
exclusively Australian then its a fair bet figures are going to be in
AU$, but if not, and you don't specify, well, the assumption is (and
should be) US currency.

[at great risk of being stupid as just came into this]

The whole thing seems to have resulted from cross-postings.  I read
this in aus.ads.forsale.computers.used which *is* Australian and thus
*should* have prices in AU$ and thought rude things about wrong
people, until I saw cross posting to alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt.

===> suggest check carefully on cross postings before (a) quoting in
unspecified $ , (b) issuing abusive flames on people (gentle reminders
appropriate)

Just like in big budget futuristic movies the "whole world" and "planet
earth" generally should be read as "God Bless America" the only country on
the planet. The only country in the world that acts as "global cop" yet has
ghettos in every city.

Who cares if its oz dollars or septic dollars, check the message source
before responding like a half wit.

I SOOO AGREE!!!! It's so painfully typical of insular Americans to assume
that the whole world speaks English and uses American fucking dollars!

Australian newsgroup, Australian dollars. It's THAT simple!

Far out!

and you do realise this was a crosspost into alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt

just like you - i didn't see the other newsgroups

i hope people learn about specifying monetary units when posting in non
country specific newsgroups.

lol - this one's a good one.

so even after all the bitching and moaning about not crossposting, I should
ALWAYS check for the idiot who did right.

I am not saying that the US is the only country out there.  I am not saying
that the US is the only one that calls it's currncy Dollars and uses the
symbol $.  My reaction to read $ as US dollars simply stems from the fact
that I live in the US, and are exposed to the US dollar in every aspect of
my life.  What I am saying is that if this person had not CROSSPOSTED, or
specified a specific monetary unit and origin, none of this would have
happened.

www.pricewatch.com

Well if you want to start an action, you should at least examine all the
evidence.

True. but the world is now an interconnected global village. And other
countries that use $ are exposed to it in every aspect of their life.

But if you are so smart, then maybe you would have an understanding that the
world insofar as comms are concerned is  a very small interconnected arena
and if you are experienced in usenet and ecomms in general then you should
have the ability and forsight to understand and correctly react to the
possibility of errors and perhaps naive postings from less experienced users
and after examining all the evidence available then state your case. Had you
checked the message source, and the posting list you (and any half decent 8
year old) would have realised the mistake.

In this instance you have:

a) assumed all users are at your level of assumed expertise when it is
clearly false;
b) applied your own ideals on to others;
c) ignored important sources of evidence;
d) made rash and ill informed commentary;


cheers.

IMO, if I am repyling to a global newsgroup sutch as
alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt, there should be proper currency specifications.
I understand that there are other countries out there that use $ as thier
currency symbol, but again, in this case, since there are more than one
meaning of $ it loses it's meaning as a unit solely from that fact that it
no longer specifies a spcific value, rather it has become a generalization.

these are yout accusations against me:

> a) assumed all users are at your level of assumed expertise when it is
> clearly false;
> b) applied your own ideals on to others;
> c) ignored important sources of evidence;
> d) made rash and ill informed commentary;


a - sorry for beeing an optimist and giving people the benefit of the doubt.
next time I post I will make shure I treat everyone like an idiot because I
should assume they are...well.....according to you

b - I have not applied a single ideal to another person.  I don't see
anywhere that I said that US currency is the only one on earth that is
called the dollar and is represented by the $.  In this case I think one of
your fellow Australians applied his ideals on the rest of the world, at
least the non-australian people of alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt, his ideals
of everyone in here beeing Australian, I suggest you pick this bone with
him.

c + d - these are the same statement written in a different mannar, so i
will address them at the same time.  You say that I "ignored important
sources of evidence" and "made rash and ill informed commentary".  I agree
that I may have acted a bit in haste.  However I don't believe that it is my
job to research the origin of a post before a reply.  What information was
given to me within the post is what I reacted to and I believe that in my
context, I am justified.  Even though this person did post to other
newsgroups, nobody knows for shure what he means by $.  The implication is
that is AU$ but since it is not specified, there is no real way of telling.
I think in this case there was a lack of information and therefore, a gross
lack of communication.  If someone tells you to go get the green box in the
next room, you walk over there and there are 5 green boxes, all different
shades, would you be at fault for picking the wrong one???  You say you
would be, I say that the person making the request didn't fulfill his/her
duties in specification, rendering communication useless.  Ever wonder why
your teachers are so strict about units, well here you have it.
