At the moment, I only have a couple of old guys who tell me everything that I do wrong, so I figured why not let a larger audience of old guys tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Kent will be along shortly.... 🙂
Howdy Pauly,
Yoooous found the place for that...............in an honest and helping way, mostly :good:
I am using GSR2700 ISX, and now they are stop working, I don't know what cause the problem?

Welcome to the party. Some of us are really nice old dudes.................or at least that's our self assessment. Since other surveyors are involved in making their own assessment of the validity of that remark you can expect a wide variety of answers being offered with the most common one being, "it depends".
Some of us are nice young dudes who are cautious about posting due to said old dudes....

Now, now, now...to be truthful not everyone is "grumpy"; we have those who are obsequious, cocksure, pontifical, overweening, arrogant, and presumptuous as well. Heck there is even a sesquipedalian or two. 😀
Hey! No religious stuff allowed. You must stop discussing Sesquipedalianism here.

The reformed Sesquipedalians barely qualify as religious anymore, the more conservative Sesquipedalians of the Kansas Synod on the other hand....
We even have special road crossings installed, with proper signage, for those of the Pedestrian Sect. At an early age I learned the correct pronunciation of that particular religious group is Pee-duh-stare-eeyun.
Gavin,
If you were around when Mt. St. Helens blew in 1980 (I was in Tacoma), you might have contracted pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.
Just poking the bear a little haha. I don't mean old guys as an offense, I enjoy the constructive criticism. Hell, I'll be and old guy one day. The most important things I have learned in surveying is letting go, because no project will ever be completed perfectly and there will never be a shortage of criticism from the peanut gallery (old guys). Once I realized this I became a much happier person.

Now that's just wrong.......
Just remember "whatever you do someone will say it is WRONG!". Welcome and enjoy the old codgers for what they are worth (maybe old).
Welcome Pauly.

Buddy, you came to the right place, 😉 welcome.

You haven't met Kent, have you?
😉 :>) :snarky:
In fact; I seriously doubt that Kent has ever completed a project that wasn't completed perfectly.
I wouldn't expect anything less...
Those three dots are together known as ellipsis (plural: elipses) -- or "suspension point" in the printing trade.
The principal (and traditional) function is to indicate intentional omission of a word, section or a whole section of text.
However, it has come to pass that the ellipsis is also used as a visual cue or signal in the text to show 4 possible things:
1. Something more is to come (e.g. to break up longer turns in conversations).
2. Politeness, such as to show changing of the topic or hesitation.
3. Silence or pause, such as to show confusion, disagreement or disapproval (and this was started in the comic strips and comic books in the 1950s to show "trailing-off silence").
Updated to add:
4. Some sort of 'deeper' meaning implied by the writer or for the recipient to figure out.
In other words, the ellipsis is also to inject a personalised flavour into the message.
