Humility is an excuse to never firmly commit to anything. I am not
humble, and have not been for a very long time. I admit my ignorance in
many areas, I admit I am constantly learning, and I have only so many
minutes in each day available with little time to waste on pointing out
how the English language works, the difference between opinion and fact,
and false smiles coupled with ooooo and aaahhh and "Isn't that nice .."
It is clear that many people think anything I could get involved in
regarding Arachne couldn't be any good. Why can I say that with any
assurance? It's simple -- I sat here for two weeks watching people
trying to figure out how to save this screen to go to that place to get
an e-mail address to forward or send something. All sorts of convoluted
and complex solutions were promulgated but I never saw a final
conclusion. Yet when I say I've got some new .ah & .htp pages that
could solve a lot of those problems, how many people ask to see them? I
can count that number on the figures of one hand. Your loss. I can now
do what I want to do when it comes to easy creation, update, editing,
and access of my e-mail address list.
BTW, I believe I gave credit where credit was due regarding those pages.
But I didn't see anyone complain that I should have clarified that was
simply my opinion, nor did I see anyone make a point of saying "Gee,
that was nice of you to not take all the credit for yourself."
Yes, I'm pixxed off. My life isn't a bed of roses. I have to struggle
with some things, some days I can't get much of anything done, but I
have never gone out of my way to start a fight with anyone over the way
they word their posts! That sort of petty BS is the type of time
wasting crap I try to avoid. But after a point I'm like anyone else --
you attack me and I'll attack you right back. You start it, I'll try to
finish it. You want to play games, go somewhere else and find someone
else. Those types of games are for snot nosed kids who have nothing
better to do than role play at life.
Yes, I know -- I should be adult and cooperative and simply let crap
roll off my back. NOT!! There is only one thing worse than an abuser;
that is someone who allows the abuse to continue without a fight.
So, like I said before, if you don't like what I say you don't have to
read my posts.
And I will try to ignore any more petty nastiness that shows up in my
in-box.
