You're exactly the kind of "customer" I was talking about.
If you think about it, forums such as Techspot pander to incompetents, transients, and moochers, far more than their value as website traffic.
If you think about it, forums like Techspot function as the sales staff for Newegg. The noobs come hat in hand whining, "gee, I want to build a computer, and I've never done it before", and expect that the people at Techspot will bend over backwards pandering to their narcissism and lack of ability, for free, gratis, no charge. (Notice the capital "I" stuck in their throat)!
So then, we link to the parts at Newegg, effectively selling them for "the Egg".
The net result of this is Newegg doesn't have to hire salespeople, (who after all, have a special place in hell). And Techspot doesn't have to pay technicians either.
And who wins? He who comes begging. Sad and ironic really, if you think about it.
The nice thing about having been in sales, is I'm a great shopper by extension. Plus, I need no help from you whatsoever, in selecting parts, building a computer, or keeping it running. So, in my little "special" corner of hell, you're totally irrelevant. That said, keep your wallet in your pocket, along with your hopes, dreams, needs, and most of all, your problems.
