Acrimony is the most important reason quite a few RPTs have signed off this list, but it's not the only one. I mean no offense to anyone when I say this, but I subscribe to another list that is, well, a lot more professional. Here are some differences: Too many "me, too" posts. How many posts does it take to cover string leveling adequately? Is it possible that sometimes a recognized technician just wants to get in a note to let others know that he's familiar with the subject? Look deep within your inner personal subconscious . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . oh, you get the idea. Have you said what you have to say? Great! Now go back and edit out half of it. You might even compose on the word processor and let it sit overnight. The thread won't go cold. Let somebody else go first next time. If you do have something to say regarding an ongoing thread, don't quote the whole darned original text. Note the above. If it's a personal note, post privately. Think of this as an ongoing professional journal. Be aware that a slight attitude on your part will inevitably be magnified in print. (Sometimes those stupid smiley faces actual help, I think). Be careful. I speak from experience. :-( This doesn't apply to you, I know, but you don't mind if I post it anyway, do you? Carl D.
