Larry I think its wonderful you've reached out to assist Tim.

The "whoa" doesn't sit well with me.

I know "whoa" is used frequently on the mail list. It implies, hold everything, this person is wrong, you'll be screwed if you follow their advice. In that light, it's easy to understand why the person who's advice is being questioned may feel as though they have been disrespected, made to look ignorant, etc, publicly on the internet. I have witnessed this too many times on the mail list. Tempers flare sometimes, written arguments begin.

There is a wealth of experience on the mail list, and some very fine people. I miss that. But to remain involved with the mail list meant allowing the "whoas", attitudes, politics and egos on the mail list into my life. That's why I stopped participating there, and spend all my time here. I sincerely hope that those negative aspects of the mail list do not find their way over here.

I think there is a kinder way to contribute to the PIBB, and because you go by LF-TP, I have confidence you know that too.

respectfully, your friend on the PIBB, George
