If you wouldn't forget in mid sentence what you were saying, we might learn something.

I was going to go with the "Haha's", but i made to many when laughing to actually type them. That was indeed priceless.

LOL I remember when I had my first beer, too. You'll be ok in the morning.

I'll try, but i'm kid of gullible and vulnerable due to the age different

As far as the changes being made here, i've heard some talk about the staff. However, what about the other changes?

This link directory, will it be a classifieds section?

The hack database being one of the projects for the coders team, does this mean no progress was made previously?

Whew! gotta stick my head in a bucket of cold water!
Ahhh that's better.

Energizing!

Now for anyone all fired up and ready to go to work here's a real duzy for you:

Sort this one out and not only will you make me eternally grateful ...

I believe it will take vB to a whole level of communications and new markets of opportunity.

Cheers,
Mark

Good Post Wayne, Good Reminder as always!.. Start with the man/woman/coder/install button clicker in the mirror, eh?

Hostility, Fear, Agression and Intolerance build walls of Suspicion that further separates 'them' from 'us', blocking any useful interaction and leaves us fuming on either side of our wall. With no progress, no resolution, just a bunch of angry geeks leaping up the wall towards each other to hurl a few more nasties over the wall at the other side.. Then a quick stop for Doritos and Mountain Dew..{leaping and yelling uses a lot of energy, dude!}

Respect, Open Active Listening, Patience, Compassion and Tolerance build bridges of Understanding that bring us all together, and we're able to work around our questions and find a central point of understanding that can make everyone work together, solve the issues, and have a kickin' bridge party afterwards..

So, what's your gut feeling? - are you a wall builder or a bridge builder?

Are you really interested in building those bridges, by waiting, asking questions politely, and using positive methods ? Or are you so hot you cant not argue, pick apart statements, fight fight fight ?

EVERYONE has good points in the discussion - i dont dispute that. It's HOW the discussion is handled that is more important. It's how people choose to present themselves and their points.. What you write here speaks volumes of who you really are. Just give it some gentle thought, and decide what do you REALLY want to spend your energy on?

And as a final note, as a site owner myself (as we all are), it is interesting to me to see a 'disagreement' develop here, and watch how it's handled, and what the outcome is. Also a good learning tool for the future.. This happens at least once at everyone's site if you wait long enough

Why? We are all adults here, you won't hurt my feelings..... Speak your mind.

[Freesteyelz]

Why not speak your mind without being confrontational? For starters, you'll get farther ahead if you'd use a bit of diplomacy. Know when to use an open hand as opposed to the closed fist.
