Now that we all seem to have bared our souls, let me end all this (since
I guess I began it).First, I did'nt mean to divide the group into "for"
or "against" Allen or anyone else.Allen has contributed much to the
group, I was'nt questioning that. It was the WAY he commented on my post
(and others).He has since stepped off his high horse, for which I tip my
cap to him.Lets face it, sometimes things get pretty dry in here.As one
poster said, somethings are for everyone,some for a few and some nobody
understands all of.And thats great because we are sharing knowledge, the
most precious resource of all.If smeone is a bit inexperianced,help them
as best you can.Even if its only to say "hang in there, it'll get
better".The attempts at humor are great if they involve humor with
everyone not at someone.Body language is'nt as necessary as tact.Heaven
knows I'm arrogant, self centered, opiniated andsometimes just mean.But I
try not to be here simply because if you dont like me, you cant just
leave.(and should'nt have to)I bear Allen no malice.while I doubt we'll
ever go out drinking together, I respect him for his
accomplishments.Instead of jumping on people for things, perhaps we
should all just recall the words "You say it best, when you say nothing
at all".This is only perhaps my 6th or 7th post here in a year.Many
times, when I see something I don't agree with, I simply delete it and
get on with life.This is (hopefully) the last letter taking up space on
this tired subject, so lets get back to our regularly scheduled program.
