<cf_anger_point_being_reached day="about to be ruined">
Since when did being professional mean one couldn't be zany and fun? Life is
too short to be stodgy and old and boring.
CF-Community was created, if I remember correctly, and Michael D, (list
master) can back me up on this hopefully, for off topics posts, jokes,
banter, and what not.
I can hold my own in a boardroom meeting filled with suits just as well as
the next guy, and, believe or not, you don't even hear one single wisecrack
from me. When it's business, it's ALL business. And I can be VERY VERY
serious.
We have a lot of good talks here. We've hashed out several CF issues, life
issues, offered support, etc. Understand, there are several people on this
list who work from home. Alone most days. No human contact. This list gives
them a bit of interaction with their "peers". The missing water cooler
conversation from day to day business life.
I've worked in corporate America. I've been a suit. There's just as much
idle banter and silly chit chat going on in a real office as there is in
this virtual one. Granted we take it to the line sometimes, but we try to
refrain from dipping the toe over the line. And if it does happen, we are
all here to real that person back in.
There is a time and a place for everything in life. This is the place for us
to blow of steam, share stories, flirt playfully, support each other, help
each other, etc.
Why, I even throw CF questions in here, rather than in CF-Talk, because I
respect everyone's thoughts, opinions, and style.
Quality!? This is the best list I have ever come across. Nuff said.

The name CF Community, indicates there will be some sense of
professionalism,I love a good joke but there's no sense of anything
professional in here.
CF means Cold Fusion, not Corn Flakes, Professionals use Cold Fusion, kids
eat corn flakes.. yet it seems like most of you are acting like kids...
