I'm in a post about the Matchless DC30, asking what the equivalent of one of the knobs on that model is. I don't understand where the question is vague.

If posting in a 6-year-old thread makes a question vague, it's easier to lock the thread to new posts, since apparently posting in an old thread is almost a crime.

You chose not to state the specific purpose for your post, in an ancient, unrelated thread, titled "Axe-FX III Firmware Version 11". That makes your question vague.

The Matchless DC30 is in the current firmware, and all those firmwares that precede the current 32.x. You chose to reanimate a 6 year old thread on obsolete firmware to ask a vague question about an amp model that exists in the current firmware. Why? For what purpose? Don't answer, it's too late. That makes your post vague. Presumably you wanted an answer, and you got them. Instead of clarifying YOUR need, you attacked the messenger.

You can post in ANY thread, crime free. Necrothreading isn't a crime, but you can count on being chided for not just starting a NEW thread, an option that is certainly available to you, when your stated question has ZERO to do with the thread topic.

Your public display of assigning motive to said response gets you exact response you got. You chose to respond his response with vitriol. You get what you give.

It's not "obsolete" if you prefer the idealized amp model era and maybe this specific version...

He should not have to clarify this just because most others break out in a sweat if they are not on the very latest update...

However, if he does prefer the older modeling, we don't know.
Chances are that he indeed picked out an entirely wrong thread...

What's up with all the push back? He asked a quite specific question. There was nothing vague about it. This thread's FW version is where the model in question was added and contains a number of posts about it. Sure he could have created a new thread for it, but he didn't. Big deal. Let it go.

Thanks!

I'm fine with Cliff not wanting to answer my question, but this thing of dodging the issue by saying "use your ears" has been really annoying and completely ignores any other purpose the user might have in needing the information.

And out of nowhere the discussion turned to which is the right topic to post in.

It was the definition of vague as evidenced by adding the entire context in a subsequent post.

My "pushback" is how he handled his response to Cliff answering his post. Post wherever, about whatever, but own your words and be respectful in your replies.

Cliffs reply to him was honest and straightforward. We've seen it dozens of times.
His answer to that was to imply Cliff was withholding a real answer, or blowing him off, neither of which is true.

It was bad form, untrue, and a childish response to an attempt to assist him with his issue.

"Let it go."

You first...

For you to decide an older firmware is "obsolete" is unrespectful of yourself.
Some prefer the previous era of Gen III, or even Gen II or Gen I.

Cliff has to be OCD about certain things to make the best possible product and we often don't have to be, so on one hand his POV is understandable.
OTOH, therefore he could understand more the value or need of others being OCD about things and should not assume what their intentions are. It does feel at certain times people are blown off or things could at least be voiced friendlier. For many examples I could see it as a lack of time/motive to better answer things, which is understandable in several ways. His usual answer is usually true to a great extent of course, but let people decide for themselves if they want to be OCD [they often have "no choice" anyway].
