Ooooh, maps.  I have a weird appreciation for maps.

  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.

    Rick,

    I hope that you'll understand that I'm not trying to attack you. 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.

    Cheery thoughts,

    Joy

    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

      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.

      Joy

      How does my forum or any forum do irreparable damage or harm?
      I would like to see examples if you can provide it.
