wolf: I don't know that we have many members who desire to have their thought provoked! But, I appreciate your effort to awaken mine. :worship:
I find it interesting when someone posts a problem and, expecting everyone to be supportive, is surprised/offended when not everyone is. We are a varied lot of pipe smokers, some of us are a bit skewed in our humor others, never posting unless trying to help. But, expecting only "on-point" responses is simply expecting too much. It is the "inter-web" after all.
A thick skin is required when posting anything, anyplace, on the internet. A lot of posters expect only serious responses and are quickly offended when things "go south." And, "going south" is something which happens often on this site. It's what we do, we are excellent at moving a thread off target! We do it with pride and often ... without thinking. That's what makes us ... well, whatever it is we are. Entertaining? Thoughtful? Thoughtless? Imperfect?
Any thread which stays on topic for more than ten replies is a rarity. And, a thread title open to multiple interpretations, poorly thought out or intentionally, that isn't skewered within two posts means the members are "asleep at the switch."
