But back to topic. Yeah i get your point, even if I still think "But yeah we have 2023 and not floppy disks anymore..." and maybe i overreacted a lil bit about the question with a salty link reply...
In the end i think you're right the World is full enough of shitty people, next time i try to reply a bit nice even if I am pissed off that it happened the 265916th time (i cannot promise But i will try ;))
So for everybody who read the discussion Till here:

I also recommend to print it with "two layer Support" because i had a lot of trouble that everything kept on the print bed even with really big beim setup.
Good on you mate. I have no idea why you are being downvoted when you are being the big man when called out.
I do understand your position - it is bloody annoying to have to remind people how the web works but in this case you are doing a "show and tell".
When doing something like that I think you should show all and tell all. "Here's what I did and how I did it and here's how you can do it too". That's why I went in with the rather dodgy ankle reference! Think about when you see those influencers with worryingly pneumatic lips and arses that might double as seating for a friend. They show all, really all and some make a decent living at it. Now think about what sort of response you want for one of your show and tells.
I do confess that I used to do the same as you - I blasted away at someone on The Register a fair few years ago and was called out and subsequently apologised. That was a game changer for me and I suspect for you now. That doesn't mean that you can't get riled occasionally but make sure it counts and you are in the right or at least nearly right ... OK you think you are right 8)
Cool beans!
Cheers Jon

I think the downvotes are just for the earlier comments where they didn't come off great. The turnaround post is getting positive.
And personally I loved the ankle analogy. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Thanks man!
