I’m gonna have to pass on whatever ideology came up with that and work toward dismantling it.
That’s been my outlook for a while too. There’s only so much influence you can have over people are set in their thoughts and ways, but we can help with the larger generational change. For a lot of us, turning a corner for the sake of our kids might end up being our best legacy.
Also I can appreciate your tendency to read more than you post. Usually that characteristic leads to better quality posts when you do make them, because you are going to tend to read them yourself before submitting! I sometimes feel cheapened when I read “I CAN TYPING” posts that the authors clearly didn’t take the time to read through.
Thanks, that means quite a bit. It took me several hours and restarts to type that post.
I took the shotgun approach back in the ol’ vBulletin/phpBB days and ended up with some stupid post counts on forums but didn’t really feel like I contributed much of anything. Over the past 20 years, keeping my big mouth shut has helped me more than anything else.
