I'd stick with cheat-****. I thought you did it on purpose and wished that I had come up with it first. Because, cheaters are ****. And how witty, "cheat-****". hehehahahaha I hope you don't mind if I borrow that one for the future, as I'm sure that one would come in handy.

@ oZ - informatio - I have to know, is that something like felatio? **nudge nudge - wocka wocka**

Chas, but what if that person feel offended by your comments? You know very well, as I do too, the ego is something that sometimes bypass the decent behaviour.

Hey Vlad, if you want to tell someone off, do so.
If you feel you are right, say so.
If you want to correct someone, you correct them.

It is also in thier complete right to come back with the same but that's life.

As for ego's everyone has one, some are in touch and in control of thier ego and not let it control thier actions. Others, usually the younger generation, haven't hed enough life experience yet and the ego drives them, as opposed to them driving thier own ego.

That gets into a lot of Freudian Phsychology but he had SOME relevant points regarding the EGO.

After all it was Jung how did repeat that "Life is a Sexually Transmitted Deasise with an extremly bad Prognosis."

I actually love that one and use it a lot with some people who continually seem to think they are better than me because they have a Batcholers or something like that in some unnecessary field like Social Work.

That probably also explains why that Social Worker had to run me down on the bike last October as well.

Carl Jung has much more modern realiztions than Freud. My reference to Freud was due to the nature of the post being focused on the EGO, which was Freud's bug claim to fame (understanding the human ego).

As much as SF was politically incorrect in his theories, many of his values behind what drives the EGO are seen today although he wrote them many years before, when his theories WEREN'T considered politically incorrect, people just had a hard time thinking that they may be driven by the EGO. The ideas, shall we say, HURT thier ego's.

As I am one that instantly sees someone's ego driven faults, I often think of the old bespectacled guy as people talk to me.

Perhaps this is also how I have a negative view of American habits, not that others don't also display this, but I see this type of drive being shouted in the streets of the USA.

I am NOT taking a pot shot at anyone here, just trying to further understand myself and rationalize my feelings.

I could be very wrong but it is a thought.

As long as you aren't being beligerant or slandering, I wouldn't worry about it.

They will just need to grow up. If they can't take the help that they're asking for, they really didn't need it that bad.

Unless the wrong advice is REALLY bad, I try not to berate the peer who posted it.

I try and explain why the advice won't work, or, in the case of conflicting advice, I chime in in support of what I believe to be the correct advice.

You can also operate in stealth mode, and offer your advice with NO reference to the existing advice.

There can be up to a 2 hour delay from when you submit your comments till the comments are visible to all users.
Many a time I have posted an answer when I thought that there were no other answers posted. Yet, when I come back to the question later, I find that I am the third or latter peer to post.

Hi Chas,
I saw your post about a delay between posting and site publication -- does that happen on a regular basis with your posts. I'd like to solve that issue if we can,
Sincerely
