Stupid Question

Recommended Posts

Come on guys-give the newbies a break. You know yourself the only stupid question is the one NOT asked.

Well if guy is truly a newbie, then sure cut him a break.  However, I have to say that on more than one occasion I see some pretty pointed "stupid" questions from "newbie" members with crazy screen names on their very first set of posts.  And I wonder if they are really newbies or maybe other vendors from other boards that simply want to stir things up or just simply want to toy with the members as a joke.  They usually just disappear after a while.  I know Kevin had the same thought from the guy who posted the calories message.  Makes you wonder sometimes??!!

I have not been on the site alot lately Jax.  You have noticed that huh?  I do not like hearing that.  It's so ridiculous when you think about it.  VENDiscuss is successful and has been a successful tool for lots of new vendors coming on and trying to learn and understand the business.  And although I do not know for a fact, I am 99% sure there are lurkers who do NOT post anything for whatever silly reasons to add their valuable input to the community here.  Their ideas and advice would go a long way to helping new vendors get a grip on how bulk vending works.  It's almost like the lurkers ( who are veteran vendors ) say to themselves I would NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD posting on VENDiscuss.  For what reason?  Because you do not want to share your knowledge?  Or is it because you are selfish and do not wish to share your knowledge.  I would hate to think it is the latter but...............

If there is a more successful website for bulk vendors where the hell is it?  I know there are a few other smaller group sites etc, but nothing like the size of VENDiscuss.  As good as this site is, it can be a lot better with more veteran input.  It seems Jax and a couple of others are the only ones who spend the time helping others here.  'nough said here.

You are right. That IS a stupid question!

I dont think its a stupid question at all...to be honest, I did not know the answer myself, as I do not deal with 2" machines. I could see someone not being sure if it would work.....its a 2" machine not a 2.2" machine.

I must admit, I didn't know the answer to that either and I've been vending for 11 years.  :-[

Anyway, I'd like to comment on T Birds post. I have spoken with John about an idea that I had recently and wondered if maybe his post was in response to the idea I shared with him. I am always thinking of ways to make this community better and think I have come up with a way to take what we have here a bit further. I won't go into it here on this thread but look for details soon. You secretive veterans will like it.

I assumed the comment was a joke myself.

As far as the lurkers, some people just don't like to post.  Same reason many people did not raise their hand in school, and tried to hide in the back of the classroom.

I only post because I am loud, obnoxious, and opinionated.  ;)
