Exactly. You're judgmental comment came off like this list is about pleasing you and we all let you down. > But, responses like yours, Sam, are exactly why you hit my kill file years > ago. You just don't add anything to my life in any meanful or good way. A lot of pompousness on this list too. Sorry I didn't live up to your expectations. Now that I know my goal I can strive for it. > And does anyone ever wonder where everyone went on this list?

It goes quite and people forget. A few real short sports threads and random programming comments, when to pick mushrooms... Then religion bashing or politics break out and it's alive again. But you're right, it is getting tired with the same bs all the time. At least the politics change daily. I think the problem is all the worshipers are losing face and they don't want to be reminded of their ill formed opinions.

You act like this is a new thing, this was always going on. We just had more things in common back in the day when we were pioneers in this industry, now we're settled down. > Not much fun here, lately. Or new.

You picked the wrong thread. Newsweek is political. I agree most threads get hijacked and turn political for no reason. But that's been the case for a long time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:324286 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
