Well, at least /something/ good came out of it. Thank you for that. I
consider that a wonderful compliment.
I know I screw up from time to time. Everyone does. I do my best to accept
it with grace when I do, and wish to hell everyone else did as well. :-)
Maybe if everyone offered positive feedback like this.....

: 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. :-)
