Slim,
The problem with pulling or editing threads sometimes, is that it seems to drag out something more than if we just let it die. I’ll add something if it gets out of hand.
We just want to allow the forum to police itself a bit where possible, and get involved in censoring only when things are overboard.
... we try to minimize the editing of threads ... you usually keep 'em in line anyway!
Thanks again ... it's greatly appreciated.
Take care,
Keith
I will continue to do what I've done for the all the years I've been on this forum, and only when I feel it's necessary (and as long as it's appreciated by the moderators of this site).
I'm only doing them a favor that makes their life a little easier (and besides, I take the fall as the 'bad guy'). They have more important tasks to occupy their work day, than sit around and read every thread here.
And, on the tame token, I fully expect that all those who my reminders seem rub the wrong way, will contiue to 'slam' me for it ... and so be it. I can take it, as well as I dish it.
For the most part, I do it only when new folks arrive, because those that have been here awhile, already 'seem' to know. Just take it with a grain of salt, and don't be so 'thin skinned'.
Maybe someday I'll get bored with it ... and stop. But it's just one of my personality quirks, and it's not meant to disparage any 'one' individual ... I mean no harm to anyone.
