Joy, I know what you are saying. I am a cartographer in my real job, and I deal with all kinds of people who want stuff just a certain way. I have learned to take some of it to heart, and some of it not.

I've simply explained why I can't go out of my way to accommodate the forum environment. You have done a lot of work, and as a website designer, you're hard work stands out. I know you're proud of your forum and you have every right to be proud of it. Sometimes I forget it hurts to hear things that are anything but praise for one's work. After all, I've certainly heard that about my own work... One size doesn't fit all, is all. Ah's just 'splainin' to yeh. No hard feelings.

Well, I am sorry that I responded to cat's misgivings and now that everyone else wants to jump down my throat. This is more disruptive than any mailing list or forum could ever cause. But when I see something I have put in a lot time get attacked, i get a little defensive. This thread will go nowhere fast Sorry Mike, You can delete any of my posts if you want Rick On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 9:16 PM, Joy Cohn <[email protected]> wrote: I can tell you that I like to do everything involving conversations with email. Using a forum is cumbersome and tedious. Rarely are forums using similar software, and often I find that the forums are using software that is incompatible with intuitive thinking. (consimworld.com <http://consimworld.com> , x-plane.org <http://x-plane.org> ) There are forums that function similarly, but then the subject matter isn't following easy to spot layouts - sometimes a particular section that I'm in dire need of - usually in product support forums - is almost as hard to find as is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or doesn't exist. Or the color combination is either garish or the colors are too light and similar to the background to read. And don't even get me started on Google Groups pages. That's abysmal. I'd rather use Yahoo Groups. I'm not 23 any more - and I require reading glasses to read the dang newspaper. My email program shows my mail in black and white. I'd rather have everything in a yahoo group.
