Friday Squid Blogging: Illex Squid in Argentina Waters

Please, may we sometimes change the topic here sometime to some kind of security recommendations rather than mostly just documentation and discussion of problems?

Sorry if this seems absurd, I’m just an amateur, no kind of expert at all.
I’m not seeking a class or anything, just a different set of varieties than just the ordinary.

Please let me know, anybody, what you think about that.
And yet, I cannot guarantee that I’ll see your reply (yet someone else may).

sincerely, “i.postimg.cc/NjQfsmSZ/Fridae-PNG.png”

@Anonymous: I’m not seeking a class or anything, just a different set of varieties than just the ordinary.

Your future is in your hands.

Post on the Friday Squid a topic you would like to see, in the form of a “starter seed”.

If it’s seen as good it will get picked up and nurtured either by the host or other commentors or both.

Many of the threads on this blog can be found to have come from topics raised and talked about in the Friday Squid by many different people. Importantly this blog is not a “Hot Topic” blog like some “ticker-tape blogs”. That is sometimes it might take a while for a subject to come up in a non Friday Squid thread. The Host here is a busy person but also likes to think things through for particular aspects of relavance. It’s why many come here to lurk, read, comment and suggest.

It’s upto you what related subject you put a seed down for, but don’t give up if your first attempts fail.

But do yourself a favour stop using “Anonymous” as your Identity here. Because many people will just skip over your comments because of it.

Secondly be plain not enigmatic people have busy lives and don’t have time to spare for that.

Thirdly don’t be contentious again people have busy lives.

Forth don’t pollute threads, non Friday Squid pages are topic based, try and stay on topic even if it is tangentially. People tend to be forgiving if they can quickly see how you get from the thread topic to a related / foundational topic.

Finally as always read the blog guidelines (guiding rules) you will find a link to them at the top of every Friday Squid for such a long time now it feels like forever.

But also scan, “100 Latest Comments”,

It will give you, not just a heads up on what is being discussed currently, but importantly it will let you see when someone makes a post to an older thread that is highly relavant. This happens more often than you might at first think.

Likewise as with FAQ’s take the time to see if the subject you want to talk about has already been raised. Quite often it has more often than you might expect “years before”. Some here like the host have the ability to see things more than a half a decade or longer before they become mainstream.
