Ben, that was the most graceful acceptance of reality I have ever encountered on this list.
You are a great man, and have earned my respect.

I know you didn't start the thread. /me looks sheepish I actually didn't mean to type that twice. I got interrupted just after I started typing, and you know how that goes. : The problem I see is with talking about how you are sick of people talking : about something. By talking about it on an open forum, you become part of : the very problem you are complaining about. You are opening up : more avenues : for conversation about the subject, thereby further aggravating : the problem. Okay. I can accept that. I admit that in my irritation I missed the fact that I was contributing. I'm a little grumpy today -- please try to forgive me. : As far as you not wanting to see these big threads about NDAs / betas / : etc., just don't read the thread. I ignore lots of threads posted : by people : on this list that go on for days and hundreds of posts because I find them : disinteresting. You should feel free to ignore them just the same. I didn't read the thread once I realized where it was going. Part of my irritation was that I tend to check my email when it beeps "new mail!" at me, and I was tired of /all/ of them being irrelevant and OT. I've just got my nose out of joint. I wouldn't have been so irritated if they had done it on Community, or CF-Macromedia, or CF-OT, or anywhere it would have been at least not off topic. : I'm sorry if I said anything to offend, but that's not what I : intended. You I guess I'm just easily offended today. Sorry I got my dander up. : didn't do anything wrong, you just added to the problem you were : complaining : about. And you seem completely unaware of the fact you are doing so, or : convinced you could not be doing that because the thread is now about your : innermost feelings about a subject instead of the subject itself (which is : just splitting hairs, since many people are casual email readers at best). Yeah, I was completely unaware of my own complicity in the evils I was bashing on. I deserved to get called on it. Thanks, I think. :-) --BenD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
