I will keep this short so someone does jump all over me about being off topic about this. I share some of his ideas, but mainly those dealing with frustration. People here are saying with their mouths that they want new blood here, but following through with actions. People are afraid when somebody leaves core like this, but what about the future people who might want to help in this level. Short to the point as far as I am concerned. I have been in this business far too long to be treated like a newbie. I may be a new face here and my language may not be the best, but guarantee that unless the mood changes a little bit and it becomes a little more fun you can have it all to yourselves! :-( This comes to basic courtesy. If I reply to a question, then pay attention to that and not do like a particular one does and boldly expand to the point of being like an encyclopedia. This has happened more than once! I have been cautioned by a few wiser people here to have a thicker skin, but I will say one thing. As long as I am giving my free time (something these days that is in short supply) at least I should have fun at it and this just isn't fun... Let's all try to get along a little better. That goes for all the syntax checkers and people who are so stuck on rules of posting that they forget what collaboration and coopeation mean. If you don't like to read something, there's the delete key. It keeps the whole environment more civil. Not everybody has had the fortitude or longitude of being here for so long to know all of this historical arguments or what has or has not been said, so they know what should not be said. If there are complaint write them privately (Seems like I read these somewhere).
