Well put Scott. I've had plenty of times when e-mails have P--sed me
off to no end. Have learned it's best to vent by writing the
reaction, but then deleeting it, not sending it first. Anyway, if I
did just send them off that grammerand those mispellings you talked,
or should I say, wrote about would be a lot worse than I normally
do. And yes, I knowjust on my average e-mails both are bad enough,
let alone if I'm ticked.
A lot of this in the past days, has just been counter productive.
Probably because so much atention has been drawn to it. Flames do
draw moths, it's time for us all to take a step back and cool down,
including those who haven't writen about these matters. That's their
choice, but this kind of stuff does create a lot of unnecesary tensio.
73s. Think there's one more mail waiting about this stuff, will
read what it says.

You know I've tried so hard to avoid this entire thread. Hey you
know Jane its equally bullshit that you leave. Your contributions
like everyone else on this list is equal in value. I personally
have no use for all these flames either, but I do know where the
delete key is. Point being is that everyone is here to help
eachother and learn about the Mac, how to use their Mac as
effectively as possible, and the applications on it. It seems some
forget that we aren't sitting in the same room so gee, its words,
annoying perhaps, but words nevertheless. If folks new to the Mac
or are considering the Mac come here to learn, its our duty to
educate, but if they see all these pointless flames, they'll just
leave and gee maybe we just lost another Mac user and their
contribution or worst we might have just chased off a potential Mac
convert. I'm not saying anything that hasn't been said before, but
exercising restraint is the key. Go on, type your message, get it
out, but then read it before you hit the send key and ask yourself
is it really worth it. Ok, so we dont' all like this or that
person's writing style, so what, I don't like poor grammar or poor
spelling, but I know I've seen plenty here and am guilty of it
myself, but you know I'm not going to jump on someone for it
either. Why? Well because in the greater scheme of things, it
simply doesn't matter. So, before you feel its so necessary to
start flaming away, think about what I said.
Hey so you leave the list, what difference will that make to
anyone. I'm not trying to be hurtful, but in the end you take away
some knowledge, but you stand to loose even more. I've learned a
lot here and I have managed to avoid getting involved in all these
pissing contests as best I can.
So, can't we just move on and knock off the crap and get back to
what is important?
