Hi,
I am just a lurker, picking up info on how to interface with the Wintel
system in our store. I have gleaned much helpful knowledge from this
list, including much from Dan Schwartz. But Dan, I have to express my
opinion concerning your tendency to go over the top. I am sure you feel
that you are justified in all of your postings to this list, but you
should understand that you reveal your character to the subscribers to
this list with each posting
I subscribe to several other un-moderated lists, frequented by very
smart, very opinionated people. And sometimes I have seen some of them
get a little nasty and testy in their postings, but none to level you
have achieved, and all have apologized to the list after they cooled down
and took in the feedback from other list members.
I don't know you except through your postings, but I must say I hope for
your sake and the sake of the people that have to deal with you that you
somehow find a way to creatively deal with anger and resentment, because
in the long run you are only hurting yourself. As someone else said, you
are obviously very smart and knowledgeable, and have given much to this
list, (and probably many other places), but it would no doubt make your
life much better if you increased your "Emotional Intelligence" and
improved your social skills. Civility and politeness and respect for the
opinions of those with whom you disagree, are not wimpy and hypocritical,
a position I was guilty of in my callow youth, but the stuff of civilized
and social living.
The only reason I am posting this, is in the hope that the more people
give you feedback on your deplorable behavior, the greater the
possibility you might reflect on your behavior, and change. But that is,
of course, up to you.
Now back to the regular programing in progress.
