OP
I just had a look at the comments on the current poll about thoughts on WinAmp 2.9 and to my astonishment there were comments like this: <br /> <br /><i>umm....considering the fact that there is not such a thing as &quot;Winamp 2.9&quot;...then I guess I can put &quot;Haven“t tried it.&quot; There“s Winamp 3.0 and Winamp 2.81...so...yeah </i> <br /> <br /><i>hmmm... yeah. where is this mysterious v2.9??</i> <br /> <br />Even though the news have been plastered all over the frontpages of most sites people still don&acute;t know of the latest release... <br />(yeah I know there are no news on winamp mainsite) <br /> <br />So... are we just wasting our time posting news or are some people just too lazy to actually pay attention?!?!

2 clueless with nearly 200 answers to the poll. that“s a little more than 1%. you can“t expect everybody to read the news, but they are definately not a waste of time. <br />1% of clueless visitors are much less than on other community websites i guess (and i am not speaking of deviantArt). <br /> <br />so keep posting :grin:

A good example of people not knowing what they are talking about. <br />They should think before they speak and make sure they know the facts....

News contains characters strung to words, which in turn form sentences and tries to get a message across. Unfortunately that&acute;s way too complex material for some to grasp, so you get responses like that. <br /> <br />Beats crud like &quot;asdafdsfda&quot; any time though.

To some it is, and to some it isn&acute;t, I&acute;m sure there&acute;s a balance....However, I did away with the news on my SB frontpage...

Maybe with some it could be a language barrier, some no interest, but it is a must have, how else does any one learn what&acute;s new, by word of mouth. I read it first thing..... :-)

Considering how often I post news here and else where, I deffinately find it useful. There are times I feel as you do, but then some stranger or admin tells me they loved my articles, and hope I keep submitting there. So I keep on doing it, and now that I&acute;m better (had an injury) you&acute;ll be seeing more from me in all the usual places. It looks like it&acute;s my trun to be the friendly admin tho, and hope to see more articles from you here and arround Snowman. 8)
