Or has the Winter fighting started already?
I can "feel" alot of mean-spiritedness in some of the posts, have gotten some e-mails from folks who have taken some of my posts or trade replies completely different than what I meant them to be, am seeing some new guys getting heat already, and see others posts getting misconstrued and taken personally.
Please remember folks, it's very difficult to project REAL feelings in the typed word. Many times what someone types, is assumed to mean something it really does'nt. I've insulted 2 people in a week because what they took from my typed word, isn't what I meant AT ALL.
Let's all just try to remember that it's difficult to inflect true feelings in an e-mail, or post, and these things can be taken wrong VERY easily.
Have a nice day :0)...(and I mean it)

That is why I try to keep my words few. As I type,I try to keep in mind how my words CAN be interpreted.

I hear ya Kyle. I unintentionally offended someone this week. Folks, we're all good people here (except for Kyle) LOL! Instead of assuming the worst from a post, please take a deep breath and re-read the post and try to find how else it might be read. Kyle's right, when so much of how we communicate as people is nonverbal, its hard to infer meaning from typed word. I'm a very light-hearted person and I will tease people from time to time. I can say that I will never attack anyone on the boards here. If I have it in for you, I will hunt you down and find your family and your children, but I won't do it on the boards. That's a promise.

I agree with you Bears, I share the same philosophy. It is unfortunate that with as many opinions as there are on how to do something, that you are stepping on someone's toes when you offer conflicting advice. It doesn't mean that someone else's way is wrong, many times there are more than one way to the same result.

I offend about 30% of all the people most of the time. Good thing too. It keeps them thinking.

I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, "we all agree completely".

Who was it that said 80% of the game is 90% mental...(something like that). Yogi Berra, I think. Peace Wayne

I've read all of the replies on this thread and I want everyone to know I am offended by both the topic and the nature of the responses. Just kidding! :D

It's pumpkins, guys! I find in my own adventures that mean people generally have no interest in pumpkins. So that must make us all nice people. -Jim

Just remember guys and girls that ninety eight out, of a hundred folks here are pretty darn nice people. The other two show their genetics as decendents, from the two simple asses Noah put, on his ark. No one has ever figured out how to keep one, of those critters, on an even ballanced position or it's bray within the human norm.
