John, Etharp, et al.,
Seriously, though, my foundation just finished a special
study last month in which I discovered that _millions_ of
threads are simply abandoned every single year, and that
this has been a growing trend for many years! It's really
not a laughing matter. Many of these threads don't deserve
the apathy and neglect that come from us who just "don't
feel like contributing anymore." Who are we to vilify these
threads? Are we not responsible for them?! The whole
situation is simple unbelievable.
Threads don't deserve that kind of treatment you people are
suggesting here. Most of the time it's not their fault that
they turned out that way. If you study them closely, you
find that these threads really had no choice to turn out the
way they did.
Most of them had a very decent beginning. They were bright,
full of ideas and humor; they expressed an ever-so-humble
curiosity; and they made us question the way _we_ do
things-to take another look at our lives to make sure we
were doing things the best. They enriched us.
But we live such fast-paced lives today, that it's too easy
to introduce turmoil into these threads. We move so fast;
regrettable things are said; nobody teaches them moderation.
They get out of control!
So who do we blame? If we're honest... we blame ourselves.
So please, put away your weapons, your threats, and change
your heart. Don't take out your frustrations with the murder
or abandonment of threads. It's time to take a stand. To be
counted. To speak up and proclaim, "No!! I won't tolerate
this anymore. I'm going to improve the life of threads, and
I'm starting with ME!"
Miark
