Those words about the script are yours, not phonephreak’s. Unless there have been some PM’s exchanged here, we didn’t know for a fact how phonefreak checked for execution or non-execution of the task. He may have checked for receipt of an email on his computer. If the email action fails, one might incorrectly conclude the task has failed.
There are plenty of unknowns when diagnosing your own phone, let alone diagnosing someone elses phone based on few sentences.
Personally I thought it was worth spending 15 seconds to remove all doubt. There is at least one credible scenario (intermittent email connectivity, op checked for task non-completion based on email) where it would be worth it. I can probably come up with more. But that rather misses my point, which is that it’s easier and more productive to just check it rather then to spend multiple messages analysing it based on an assumption that you know everything there is to know about a phone which could be thousands of miles away in a situation described by a person whose expertise you don’t know.
Perhaps others may not agree with my suggestion. No problem there, we all approach things diffrently. But SUroot felt so strongly that it was a bad recommendation that he felt compelled to discredit the recommendation even AFTER it had already been completed. (January 25th, 2013, 11:21 AM). And after all this, even up to the latest post he still continues to fight tooth and nail to discredit a 15 second recommendation that was already completed before he started picking on it.
I will have to accept portion of blame for eventually escalating in less than proportional amounts to the tone directed against me. To forum members (excluding SUroot), I certainly apologize.
