As always happens with every new inrush of new TB! users the "I hate
Steve Lamb" fan club gets cranked up. To this end, let me try and
hurry the learning process along by lending my personal experience.
When I first came on TBUDL my initial reaction to Steve was "what an
obnoxious, conceited, boisterous (if that's possible via email),
pompous ass" and I'll just toss his little ol' name into a kill filter
and be done with it. Luckily, I held off.
Lamb in an acquired taste (pun intended), and once you get past the
brash outer shell there really is a lot one can learn from Steve. I
have gained great insight on a lot of topics from his "discussions" in
this forum, and while I don't agree with everything he says (what sane
person possibly could?) there is even tidbits of wisdom in the
wackiest of Steve's stances.
Sure, he can make you feel like veins are about to explode in your
forehead at times, but just chalk it up to his passion in defending
what he thinks is a good email program that he doesn't want to see
headed in the wrong (ie: opposite his ideals) way. You actually have
to admire his passion.
Steve's a self proclaimed curmudgeon, but mixed into that is also a
witty and wry sense of humor. So please, before you start typing up
that flame response to something Steve said, sit back, count to ten,
and do I do, say to yourself "There goes ol' Steve again!" as it truly
would be a loss to this forum if he took his opinions (staunchly
stated as they are) elsewhere.
