Wulkowicz,
if you're going to bother to reply, you could try adding something *to* the thread, or explaining why you disagree with it. Was kinda amazed that you took the time and went out of your way to say....that?? wth?

Am I really having to write this? My post was in response to Hoot's tag line, and I said, "I had a friend once, but he grew up." It was meant to be a small humorous comment and some apparently even got it.
I agreed with, and enjoyed, your post in another thread:
"Looks like things are going well over here Ekka...
Nice way to capture 165 posts in just a couple days. The input has been amazing, as well as pushing towards some group cohesion. Good job!!
Thanks to everyone for posting so far."
Then I have to read some judgmental drivel about about what I should contribute or that I somehow disagreed with something, but wouldn't say...?
I can't non-write for the non-reader; never have figured it out, and really any attempt to do so would be an insult to those who read. I write carefully, I write with passion, and I go back again and again to help those who have trouble with what I'm saying.
I don't write what you want--or what you expect. I do however understand how important that post is to you and you have many excellent replies, but I had nothing to comment, so I didn't and wandered away.
If you want to criticize what I do or say, go right ahead, just let it have bit of substance. Perhaps out of professional courtesy, but any reason at all would be appreciated.
By the way, I make a disciplined effort to try to think like a child; children are innocent honest observers of the world around them and I envy them. Never once have I heard a child say, "Watersprouts sap the vigor of the tree." But I have heard that
ad nauseam when I started in this business and I still hear it today. But then again, what do I know?
