Hey.. don't forget the petition! *fires off horns of war.. sounds klaxons* God I just HAD to login really quick because I thought an entire 12 minutes might go by without you reminding us about the importance of about the petition.
It's so sad.. there are almost no legitimate support questions on here because ALL anyone can read about is the 40 recent posts on the necessity of internet-picketing. Thank you... you've killed everyone now! We have ALL just rolled over and died from petition apoplexy... damned you and your dogged successful strategies of mental warfare.... I surrender in the name of my browser cache... (lol.. not likely. It's too easy to keep this up for days!)
I did the math.. 89 posts... 39 of them about the exact same thing, with the almost exact same wording... (it's not like I had anythign else to do but read about the petition... lol) Technically, that only makes you 43% annoying. (No worries.. the other 57% of your time is understandably consumed being target practice at the NR executive dart board beside the water cooler).
In addition to the negative impact you're having on their customer support forums (which translates into sales) you're being pointedly counter productive.
Let's run this to its inevitable conclusion and discuss the possible outcomes:
1) You get 12 gajillion signatures... THEN you decide hell, a lawsuit is in order for false advertising... NR goes broke trying to defend against your criminal insanity. Result = We all Lose!
2) Sean kills Jenn in a fit of rage because he can't actually hit you in real life instead... the PR department dies... no one is employed to read the forums... See option #1 for outcome.
3) You actually realize that MAYBE they've heard your request (one of the first 39 times) and are working as hard as they can to fix other issues that maybe they consider to be more important before trying to adopt a new operating system that LOTS of companies can't support yet... when they still have a few other bugs to handle in their current version first...after which they will get to yours... after which we can delete your 42 million posts and get back to actually providing consumer support... the world goes on spinning. Then, you save face, respect, and receive the appreciation of countless individuals for doing a job well done and defeating the NR facist regime!
4) You get hit by a bus tomorrow while delivering pizza for dominos and we all have to wonder what happened to you... no one will ever know the truth... (not nearly as satisfying)
5) You call me Cowboy again (in all caps), come up with acronyms for CEO that you find amusing, and continue ceaselessly onwards, much to the detriment of all involved and global society as a whole, wasting valuable time that you could be using for something (Hey.. it's possible). In defense of which I will be forced to give up tuesday night television just to devote my entire super crime fighting skills to bringing about your ultimate destruction in a battle of wit you can't possibly win.
6) Others finally join in the fight against you and the tyranny is forced to end.. somehow God help us.. please.
7) I get banned from the boards and someone else takes up the fight against your annoying, repetitive, nonproductive, counter-intelligent rants in my place.
Jenn/Sean/God/Whoever Will Listen: I do agree with the suggestion made by another of the forum members.. give Davioh a sticky topic for his postings... so maybe he'll at least confine his rants to one place instead of spamming/flaming each and every single vista post with the petition. Christ.. there wasn't this many flyers up with McGovern ran for president! (Watch.. here we go again with a definition of spamming/flaming.)
It'll be good.. you can assign each post a card value and play UNO with them since he assumes you're not actually working all day every day and you've GOT to eventually get tired of playing solitaire.
