I agree, but I'm just rude and according to some I should just leave because UHH would be a better place without me.....

I ALWAYS enjoy your comments. Might not agree, but always enjoy.

So well put. I fully agree with you and like to ad that the not so perfect are generally nicer people.

Well put Jackinthebox.

When I read the original post I knew the sh_it was going to hit the fan. Within a few posts we had people (good members of this list) who felt alienated because they thought they had poor grammer or spelling skills. Myself included. Just what I was afraid of. I'm 71 years old and I have never met a "grammer policeman" that did not (even in their own postings against poor spelling and grammer) commit the same errors they accuse others of. Hypocrisy is a far worse sin than poor spelling. I think you, Jackinthebox, pointed that out rather well to the list. I have also read warnings given to new people on the list not use all caps in their posts. BIG DEAL. How does that hurt anyone for god's sake. It's sillyness (sp)

pg. 16 Isenear, I am even older than you and agree with every thing you said.

Who cares if the spelling is incorrect or their English. For those of you who enjoy starting a riot on the 'puter you waste my time and space. We have one professor that knows what he speaks of. Leave him alone. Perhaps you will learn something.

Whoops, now I am doing it. See how contagious anger is!

Oops! forgot to put "to" in my last post. I quote,"the list not use all caps..... " It should be "the list not to use all caps....."

Now I can sleep soundly.

My wise old grandmother taught me the 80/10/10 rule for people:

10% of the people will hate me because that's the type of people they are.
10% of the people will love me because that's the type of people they are.
80% of the people will love me or hate me depending on my words and actions.

I am astonished that I never encountered that one before. Brilliant! Thank you! And, off course, thanks to her for telling you that.

Cheers,

Thank you for the wisdom of your grandmother. I have not had a mother let alone grandmother for a long time thus double thanks for sharing this with us. I have copied and pasted it to a special file for review every so often.

BTW: you know when you are getting old when you are no longer a chip of the old block, You are the old block.

To learn and at due times to repeat what one has learnt, is that not after all a pleasure? That friends should come from afar is this not after all delightful? To remain unsoured even though one's merits are unrecognized by others, is that not after all what is expected of a gentleman? It is upon the trunk that a gentleman works. When that is firmly setup, the way grows(lun Yu's quote) And proper behaviour towards those that think they know it all is the trunk of goodness!
