Hi everybody. I just read these postings and it clearly illustrates why we need to keep our site attractive to the new commer. I place no judgement on any member or visitors of this wonderful site because I know I get caught up in the "distractions" also.
I cannot honestly say it will not happen to me again. I feel that all things will work their way out once we become more experienced tackling our objectives. When OUCH starts happening, we can establish more conformity on the message board and develope as a group as we continue to struggle for the achievments as stated on ch.com. I know we will continue having spats but we can learn from them and we all can work at not posting hurtful messages for all to see. It can be very humilating and damaging to the individual being scolded. Pain from clusters are bad enough. I do not want to hurt others emotionally as well,though I find my self wanting to "get even" and will fall down a lot. I think that the two postings that I somehow missed should be closely observed and thought out.
I am going to file them in my CH folder as a reminder since I often forget why I am here.
Sincerely, DC
