Reply to "Red button"

@WNGD posted:

I remember an old thread where someone asked what a particular button did and the correct answer (before it got nasty) was "many of these cars are custom and that button could be anything....have you followed the wires?"

He didn't like it either. But perhaps if he started with providing who the manufacturer of his Speedster was....if he knows.

Oh wow, I remember that 1- I made the suggestion to follow the wires to find out what they were attached to and boy, the sh!tstorm that followed!  I was a great big a-hole for suggesting that he might be able to figure it out himself (heaven forbid he actually put a little bit of work into it), no amount of apologizing was enough (I still think it was a good plan but I was willing to eat a little crow just to make peace, but to no avail), and a few of you were a-holes for agreeing with/defending me.  I told him I'd stay away from his conversations since my ideas weren't what he wanted to hear and then shortly after he stopped posting.

PS- @Stan Galat wrote- "I'm REALLY glad I didn't make a joke about the red button... To the original question: I'd never seen the red button before, but it seems like a thing begging to be joked about (it's a red button, see? How much more perfect could it be?)."

And now I remember why I was wary of this thread...
