Problems due to packet writing unreliability

[bevills1]

Why is there a rule to not post a question in more than 1 area if you're unsure of actual cause of problems? Originally I thought problems to be media related and submitted queery in media forum but got no useful answers for 9 full days. A queery was also submitted in computer forum because I thought problems could be either hardware or software related instead of a media issue and that maybe someone in the computer forum could offer a solution. Finally on 2/11/06 I got some useful suggestions from media forum from hech54, fritzi93 and others. A few tests I ran proved to me at least problems were due to unrelaibility of packet writing as suggested by fritzi93 and was not media related. The first fritzi93 post about packet writing being less reliable, for which I'm most thankful, was a full 10 days after my original post, but that info is the main factor in my determining packet writing to be cause of problems. MY posting on computer forum was reported to OP by hech54 who then posted that report in media forum, and fritzi93 appeared to jump on his band wagon. Reporting to OP was fine even though I'd forgotten rule against posting in more than 1 forum, but hech54 shouldn't have posted that in media forum IMO. IMO forums should be about sharing knowledge and helping members solve problems as stated in rules and should not be about juvenile pranks or character assasination. Maybe I misunderstood hech54 and fritzi93 comments, and I apologize if that (tattling and boasting about it) wasn't their intent. Copied and pasted below are comments I consider inappropriate, and I'll post any future questions in only 1 forum after being reminded of that rule. Also I much appreciate and enjoy all the useful info I've learned on these forums, and I hope posting some of my test results and links to useful info I've found have helped others.

If you're really talking about using CDRWs like floppies, you're talking packet writing, which is inherently less reliable than multisession writing. So I presume you're using Nero's InCD?

That is exactly what I told the OP in the duplicate thread he started alongside this thread....packet writing sucks.

I wasn't aware you had two threads or that you were reported. My "agreeing" was an acknowlegement someone else agreed with ME. And I was amused at how that agreement was put. Even so, it's not a big deal to be "reported" (horrors!), usually just a heads-up to the Mods to do a little housekeeping, e.g. close duplicate threads. So relax, guy.

I really see no problem with any of those postings. The first one by fritzi93 is just confirming or restating an early thought. The post by hech54 is just pointing out that the OP has multiple threads discussing identical subjects and that hech54 had posted a potential solution in the other duplicate thread. and the last one by fritzi93 is merely agreeing with a post provided by someone else.

While you may not agree with how some people communicate or you may not understand how they are explaining their solution to your issue none of this would considered juvenille pranks or character assassinations IMHO. Like the mod said though, if you have problems with any poster or the way they are communicating their POV you should bring this to the attention of the moderation staff via private message. Include links to your threads. If you started the thread and you feel it is no longer providing useful insight you have the power to request that the thread be closed to avoid people continuing to add to it. This might be a good thread to ask for such assistance.

Your media doesn't like packet writing because packet writing sucks.

Your computer doesn't like packet writing because packet writing sucks.

Your hardware doesn't like packet writing because packet writing sucks.

Your software doesn't like packet writing because packet writing sucks.

Funny stuff.

Packet writing is a daily EOBD chore here and I've never had any issues.

ROF never had any issues with packet writing as well as at least one other post I saw, and ROF gives some very good advice whichI think I'll heed. It's surpising to me that some have no issues with packet writing while many others find it unreliable. Thanks to all for their input and info provided, and I again appologize if any misunderstanding may have been created.
