Let's all just try to be kind ok?
sometimes an effort must be made to temper a really direct answer. Yea... I
know it is hard... there are times I have 3 volunteers shoving things in my
face wondering what to do with them, 5 telemarketing calls came in a
row.... spilled my coffee on my new shirt.... you notice a seller on eBay
seems to be using a shill.... all the crap you have piled on top of the HP
scanner fax printer thing falls off when you have it piled too high and are
trying to raise it up to put a print cartridge in it ( why should it fall it
was only stacked 2 feet high)..... the server goes down..... it is hard
sometimes not to be abrupt when we are trying to do so many things at once,
and some of us ( myself included) tend towards short abrupt
answers.....but....
even though you may have been through this in a mornings time... it is good
to think , pause, collect your thoughts, then answer the next question....
remember also, we are all here because we are looking to learn, wanting to
associate with others with similar interests, or are just curious...
