uh- you went way overboard there. I dont have time to argue with you, but you took me too crudely when that wasnt my intention.
EDIT: Ok- fresh morning- bottom line is this is Hot Deals forum. OPs post wasn't a hot or even a warm deal comparatively to other listings of the same cpu. He didn't do thorough comparison shopping to confirm it was best deal for that cpu before posting here- which I consider irresponsible to other ATers.
I have been repremanded by other ATers for posting the BEST price ANYWHERE on a hard drive before, just because they didn't think it was hot compared to another hard drive that wasnt even in the same size or price range. I find my comments definitely more justified. And the OP did update his post so there is no issue for me except with your obsession with
only the negative side of my either/or request for updating or lock/deleting on what I considered a bad deal post.
I agree that people want to see deals from other vendors, which is why I asked OP to
update his post with the mwave deal- I never asked to
REPLACE OPs "deal" with the mwave deal.
So thank you for backing up my postion with your comments
.
So with that said, anyone with basic reasoning skills can agree it is a great disservice to post a bad deal and not have it updated or changed. Because mis-leading/ill-advising fellow ATers to get a cpu for $10+ more than they should(and not even retail boxed with fan at that) is grounds for deletion or locking. If this post was abandoned/left in its original form it could have lead to ATers buying that cpu at that link, resulting in them getting a bad deal, because they ASSUME most people that take the time to post a "hot deal" HOPEFULLY allready did the research and comparison shopping before throwing their perverbial hat in the ring. That was my train of thought on the issue.
