Yeah, I hear you.

And this is a diverse crowd, about as diverse as you can get and still keep your hands clean.
There is a certain appeal about knocking yourself out and laying it all out there bare; knowing your impact may be minute, but never-the-less, possibly impressive or mildly appreciated. You may get some to see it your way, or not at all; but at least you give them something to think about.
And humor. Some can be funny, ascerbic. The wit, the personalities; all like a patchwork quilt. And unlike a job, participation here is FREE and voluntary.

I KNOW the type of posts I can expect from Tom and Tech1. They no longer surprise me.
But everyonce in awhile, a key point comes blaring at you and creates a FORCE...a counter force, of perspective. A lot of this still gives me pleasure after almost 10 years. Some of it is a complete turn off. I would think this is a viral, virtual marriage of sorts.
