If you do not like my posts for whatever reason, you do not have to read or respond to them, but to say you think I am off my medications (how on earth would you know that, one way or another, since you do not know me) or, worse, to say "something has gone afoul in my tomato" (I don't know what that means, but I am guessing it means you think my head isn't right, which, I assure you, is about as far from the truth as anyone can get; if you knew me at all, you would know that) just because I make a remark or two here you may not agree with is far, far too much and is, in my opinion, very inappropriate for any public forum.

Initforfun has been publicly criticizing your looney posts here for about as long as I have been...If you don't remember him or me replying to you criticizing some of the dumber things you've posted, then you're going more senile than even I was expecting.

If you want to leave, more than one of us would be pleased if you decide to follow through.
Half the time you post I can't tell if you're intentionally trolling us or if you're reading less than a quarter of the comment you're replying to, making dumb to outright insane assumptions, getting facts wrong, then throwing in 3 repetitive off topic paragraphs of ranting about your local broadcasting stations/the signal formats they transmit in.

You're not helpful at best, extremely boringly long winded and off topic on average, and frequently out in left field. To the point a couple years ago I added you to my ignore list so by default I don't see the text of your posts and on the VERY rare occasion I decide that I want to read your drivvel I have to click each post you made to unhide it...Of the 3 people here I dislike you're the only one on that ignore list... You're that bad.
Please leave...It would make Videokarma a much nicer place.

PS initforfun, you said it!

I am sorry that this has become a contentious issue. The point of my post was that the final NTSC signal configuration standardizing the color subcarrier frequency and asymmetrical chrominance wideband (I and Q) which was to later be standardized and decodable by the CT100 and later NTSC color tv sets, made its public over-the-air debut on 27 January 1953. The earlier configurations involving the original dot sequential, mixed highs, constant luminance, CPA etc. would not be decodable on a CT100 or later NTSC standard color television without modification.

27 January 1953 was the first "official" broadcast. The petition describes the work RCA engineers did to the very first live test color studio in the world, Studio 3H equipment to facilitate the broadcast delivery the live scheduled programming via the final standard through early January and that the NTSC voted to adopt the standard on February 2, 1953.

Read the 700 page petition. It is all documented there.

The final NTSC color signal was not fully formed in 1951 nor did it take until 1956.

Jeff, I'm only gonna say this once and then bow out, because I do not want to further muck up Penthode's thread. When you make absolute statements that are 100% mistaken, it bears correction so that future readers of these posts don't go away with the wrong information. In the first few of your mistaken posts I DID gently set the record straight with no malice or condensation. But, when it came to the point that your gaffs were almost as frequent as your posts, I began to believe that as Tom so rightly said you were purposefully posting bogus information to get a rise out of the fellow posters, the very definition of trolling. Now, please remember, respect can not be demanded, only earned, and if you want to be respected VS ridiculed fact checking your assertions would go a long way toward earning that respect. EM also touched on your continual ranting about the state of broadcasting in your area, beating the same drum in just about every thread you respond to, Jeez dude lighten up and try to embrace the ethos of "When you smile the world smiles with you, when you frown you frown alone.....
