I mean that there are a lot of angles we could work this tire analogy, and if the tire really were flat, then I have no problem acknowledging it, but if the tire is merely low on air pressure or if it is starting to get worn and might need replacement, those are different variations in which the some attention or precaution might be needed to keep using the tire under that condition, but it would not necessarily mean that the tire cannot be used, but it might not be adequate for some purposes but still be adequate for other purposes and before winter comes it will be update or before going on a long trip air will be added.

Yes, that's kind of the point of the analogy. You can certainly drive on a flat tire and you may even reach your destination. You can also argue that it's not the tire that it's something else or even that cars are supposed to go thud-thud-thud-thud. Perhaps it's beneficial in scaring away deer?

It seems to me that we are really not getting anywhere with the use of the analogy, and I have made my points but you keep wanting to assert it as if the way that you set it up (or have been expounding upon it) actually applies to bitcoin.

A better analogy would be the sound of the car running and you're the 3 year old in the back seat complaining about it.

Yes, it's supposed to do that little guy.

Hahahahaha

Actually, I like this rolling analogy. it is great.. and guess who the 3-year old in the back is?

Cheesy

Would be an interesting development... and surely no straight forward thing to keep going... concededly beyond my pay grade..

In truth, I could just switch him back on. The main issue with keeping him going was that the gathering of data would fill my hard drive space. Since I never switched off the gathering of data, this is an issue I took steps to take care of (mostly by increasing hd space). I think his output could do with a freshen though. There's also the issue of after a long absence, whether people would really want him back. People complained and fussed when I introduced him to the other forum and did a bit on this one too when he was first introduced. We may need a poll.

I was going to say something about the long absence potentially being an issue.. but I doubt that you used a poll the first time around in order to figure out whether to test it out, and members got used to it, but sure, if you believe that a poll could be helpful to inform your decision regarding reactivating such bot member, then I am pretty sure that Infofront would be willing to run such a poll in this thread - especially since the current thread seems to have been answered in the past 15 hours or so...

Alternatively, if you wanted to monitor the poll a bit better, then maybe another thread could be helpful, and surely you might even consider that members should be active in the WO thread for their vote to count..

Although if you want a quickie number, having Infofront update the poll of this thread for such would give you a pretty quick result to see if there is division or a clear leaning in one direction or another...
