I hope it wasnt a simple task you were tryin ta learn!

That's understandable. In the past 18 months, we've had 5 (one two three four five) deaths in our family. We've dealt with losing jobs, starting jobs, starting over in an unfamiliar place and drug addiction in our immediate family. Stress can be difficult. With that being said, hopefully, I can continue to unwind here and pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist for a minute or two. And I can do that without belittling anyone or launching an unprovoked attack because I'm having a bad day.

I get out of hand every once in awhile and make no apologies for it. Like I said, it is what it is. For what it's worth, I never even thought of you, took me a minute to figure it out.

While not the least of it by any means the flooding is just part of the story here. I don't like living this close to "the edge" everyday. Can't recommend it. Hard on my nerves.

I come to TR to escape the bullshlt and forgive me for becoming tired of the tedium that can be here. There's a lot more that bothers me now that I'm thinking about it. Maybe it's time for me to "go fishing" too.

Succeed? Well the question there would be did they succeed?
I certainly hope so. The tasks do seem simple now, so I guess it has been a success. (oh-boi, I lern'd me sumthang :^0 ) It was a (new to me, anyway) CAD program. Funny little parts floating all over the place. I had a blast actually. :D -d

edited because those little smillies keep pissadearing. :( -d

We used to be able to go to 1 page and see everybody. (well, at least the "top 100") What happened to that? -d

Thanks Col.
Sorry JD, must have had too much P'nut budder in my ears again, didn't hear ya correctly.
Now... could some-one expain what's up with the pseudonamen phenomenon? Did everybody devolope a split personality?
Geeze, a guy pissadears for a little while, and.... -d

Many of the problems described on this thread that describe slowness with typing sound like browser problems. Whether that's due to ads or something else, I don't know. There is only so much under my control. In the last year or so, Engineering has added a lot of logic to failover more gracefully when problems do occur. And they will continue to work on that.

As for features that don't work or work differently than you expect, we know about those. We are human, we use the site, and we get annoyed when something doesn't work the way we think it should. I do know that these annoyances have been discussed. I'm sure some will be fixed, some removed, and some replaced with new annoyances. ;)

Recently, I've been annoyed how often Yahoo Mail crashes FF2 (2.0.0.12). It happens every time I use it.

Tradeoffs have to be made between fixing annoyances and working on something to make money in a way that keeps the site free for the users. We all appreciate how much you use the site and how passionate you are about improving it.

My profile is set to receive PM. Please feel free to contact me anytime about annoynances, bugs, whatever. I do not promise the instant gratification of a cure for one of the site's ills, but I will listen.

Regards,
Doug

Hey, if you are going to post something in a forum in response...you should at least expect a response in kind.
