Hi Dan. I know what you mean. I read everying that happened. Including David's dealing with Chris's stupid attacks on him, which were completely a waste of board space and time.
David was the first person that replied to me when I joined the list, and I was instantly rubbed the wrong way! Now, he doesn't get to me anymore. It's just a personality quirk with him, I'm realizing. I've been having an OFF LIST conversation with him for the past day or so. He replies with the same short answers, that sometimes I have to guess at the meaning. I'm getting good at it! I am assuming in my guesses that he doesn't mean ill will. Which I don't believe he does. I really don't. I think he just isn't very good at conveying what he means in writing. Sometimes its hard to tell, just by what he writes! That is one of the reasons why Felix doesn't like lists! Felix says, in writing, you can't tell a person's personality. Not really. No inflections in their speech, no instant interaction with with speaking live. I think David is the perfect example of this. Yea, David did seem to get all high and mighty. But I think, I honestly do, I think he was just meaning to share that is is in the manual and then gave an example of how he uses what you wrote about the mail short cut keys. He just didn't choose his words very well, is what I think. Hey! I didn't know about the mail shortcut keys! You are right, not everyone reads everything in the manual. Anyway, Don't read too much into the way David writes. He's like my father in a way. I hate to compare them! Because my father had Asperger's Syndrome. Yet he was super intelligent. Got a B.S. Degree in Physics and did flight analysis' on guided missiles for the Navy as a civilian in the 60's. Brilliant man, really. But my dad was a jerk sometimes when you tried to have a conversation with him! He was emotionally distant, as if not aware that the person he was talking to had feelings. He demanded and shouted alot, which messed me up as a kid. Because I'm very emotionally sensitive! So I thought my dad hated me growing up. I didn't understand his condition, until later. Way later. After my daughter was born with the same condition! And I began studying it, and then going, Wow! This is describing Dad! Then I began to understand, and deal with my dad better. Okay, so I've had a head start on this type of intelligent but sometimes seemingly socially dysfunctional personality in some people. How it goes. We are the ones who have to just not let it get to us, I guess. Take care, And keep your discoveries coming!! janet ---------------------------------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Mail Discovery > Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:35:09 -0700 > > Hello, > I am posting this reply knowing that some people might flaim me, but > enough is enough. > If you really read the thread, then you would know I also stated about > tabbing to the mail box list in another message.
