Thanks OC, but I know you and Pint sit on the back porch and 'discuss' some of my sometimes inept suggestions, and that's OK
Let me see if I can covey my thoughts without making it a three page dissertation on the general condition of the world.
First, the thread that Paul posted in help was only part of the problem. Over the course of the last several months (in what appeared to be a huge growth in peeps) it seemed that the average age was somewhere about 12 or people that acted as if they were 12. My own kids are grown and have their own kids now and I still love them dearly, but when they were 12 I hated even them. It must be some kind of pre-puberty thing.
The new people were hard enough to put up with, but when I perceived my chain being yanked by one of the upper level (certainly knowledgeable) peeps and one who's opinion (and there are many here) I valved, I took it....well...badly. Paul has stated that it was not aimed at me and I except that at face value.
I will be the first to admit a certain 'snobbery' when it comes to new people only because I think people who inter-act over a long period of time reach a comfort zone and, as is human nature, you never want it to change. The reality is that it does change and I/us have to change with it. It would only be my hope that with an effort by all, it can change for the best.(a big stick being handy will make that goal more attainable)
Finally, let me say that I do (and always have) had a special feeling about this site. Not because I have, as we all do, a vested interest in it, but because of the people. I think all of us, at some time or another, are going to get jacked out of shape over something, but in the final analysis, it's the relationships that we foster here that will prevail.
Now, here's my suggestions for the day:
OC - if you don't want a hangover, don't stop drinking.
Paul- if you're going to 'remonstrate' please use a Tampon.
China- get the dog off the bed...I'm on my way over.
