Yeah, that's just habit from doing emails all day. You are right though, I forgot it's in my sig.
Also, has nothing to do with a desire to learn stuff or even how hard it is for somebody who (as you presumably do) knows how to do it. So again, nothing to do with my desire to learn, you've just oversimplified something you don't fully understand, to try and make a point that's not valid.
Multiple things:
- Yes, I'm reluctant want to "learn" in a use-case that involves me potentially doing trial-&-error on the very object I want fixed. This isn't a lab, this isn't a classroom, I need this particular thing fixed. One take.
- I don't want to have to invest in materials and tools that I will likely never use again (since I have never had necessity to use them up until now). Soldering iron, solder, etc.
- My time is valuable. Yes, I've learned how to change the oil on my motorcycle and I know how to polish shoes. I choose to pay people to do these things for me, despite their relative lack of complexity.
I do value your input though, since it gives me a good opportunity to perfect my typing.
