Great attitude! I wish others in this newsgroup were as open to
differing opinions and corrections.

Stick around.

Thanks for the compliment!

I've posted here frequently before. I stopped reading the NG because I
was getting too caught up in the "who-hates-who" and "I-know-who-you-
really-are" politics. Though I didn't comment much on the subject
publicly, it was mentally taxing and depressing. Since that time, I've
come to realize that the choice to get caught up in group politics rests
solely with each individual. Anymore - I don't care who knows who, where
somebody lives, what so-and-so said 3 years ago and would rather not be
involved in any such activity. If anybody wants to know my feelings on
certain volitile subjects, they can ask. Note that anymore, I prefer to
praise in public and scold in private. If I have anything really negative
to say, it'll probably be in an email. Otherwise, I'd just as soon help
others when I can, and learn from others when I can't.

I respond to posts I think are interesting, and ignore the ones that bore
me. I enjoy the group alot more now. This NG - much like life - is full
of good and bad, isn't it? I ignore the bad stuff and enjoy the good
stuff

I'll try and stick around.
