Ain't we havin' fun here!!

The comments have been great & positive.

BTW: Seems jivadas hasn't posted here since their original criticism of our site--maybe it has dawned on them to JOIN with us here 1st, then see how we get along.

That's what was meant by getting to know us: if you start out the 1st day at a job criticizing, where do you go from there?

 Happy Person is a she????!!!!!

 OMG!!!!   

Just kidding...

Glad to know you're active, Inas.  

...and you're right - the constant bashing - very sad indeed.

And that is why I chose to be an active member of this fine DotTech family.

Well, that's my story, and I'm stickin' with it - so Ciao for now,

Inas - AKA Happy Person

Best,

Inas

 

 

Hey Happy Person (or would you rather be addressed as Inas???)

Glad to have you here!

I've been active on dotTech since last August; as you may be able to surmise by the fact that I have a few # of posts during that time. I've pretty much quit commenting on GOTD, & usually only glance at their site. There are still several good & helpful people there, as well as newer ones, but it got old seeing others attacked & berated & hated  on a regular basis, especially Ashraf---which brings out Ashraf supporters who defend his thoughtful, educational & helpful comments (that's how I ended up here), but can also bring out jealous counter-attacks at the supporters, etc., etc.,........such a pity & a waste of human effort.

You are one of the few (like Mike,...&  of course Ashraf!) who consistently try to be of assistance to others, & after a few unnecessary jabs at you too, it made me angry that good people quit commenting there & are pushed away by the haters & ignorant ranters (you were missed after that fiasco, but later saw you came back).

So I'm encouraged to see you participate here---almost all members are appreciative & supportive, & we actually have a good amount of fun  & humor  too!

BTW: I should have never assumed that you were male on GOTD, but if I did, I will (hopefully) remember that from now on!

BTW: Is this the 'original' Happy Person from GOTD??

If so, welcome (the 'original' Happy Person will know what i'm referring to!)

If not, welcome anyway.

@Al: I think he is the HappyPerson from GOTD, i.e. Inas. Could there really could have been such a coincidence?

Hey Adrian (spelled correctly)

When HappyPerson replies here...

they "will know what i'm referring to!"

[hint.......someoone else tried to copy/paste HappyPerson comments as their own this past summer on GOTD............AND.......there was an imposter using HappyPerson as an ID too...it got to be ...........really stoooopid for a while...]

Y'all are making me dizzy - and I suppose this comment is also trivial - LOL!

 I actually had to read this one twice… Honest. 

Trivial right here!

Hey - dotTech is a free forum - as long as the posts don't annoy most members, they can be posted.

I can understand their (jivadas) point...............but,....like Adrian, I think that this forum, while unique, is like others where there may be many comments that are helpful & many that are just like a check-in, with a few words(HI...I agree....that's nice, etc.); other posts are very involved & highly technical, & we also just have plain ol' fun. We get along quite well here, & can tolerate the wide diversity of styles & opinions. But what you won't find but rarely here, is character judgments & name-calling, etc., like some other forums I visit.

IMHO, when someone starts a new job, or comes to a new forum, without getting to know others & let others give & receive feedback, the 1st thing to do seems not to say how things need to be changed: “You should find a better way,......" and “you should be able to delete the trivial (thanx, &c)..." The writer SHOULD choose their words carefully, as a few definitions of trivial, are: unimportant, inconsequential, insignificant, trifling, petty

That last part "delete the trivial"....implies that the writer KNOWS what is or is not trivial........& that is making a judgment of others value of their worth in commenting.

Again IMHO, that is pretty presumptuous…it also implies that the writer is “better than others,” & they must NOT consider their own content as trivial—otherwise, according to their own criteria---we SHOULD delete their comment.

Touché.

Topics like the Glary Utilities Pro create over a hundred responses. 

   You should find a better way to sort these. 

   For example, you should be able to delete the trivial (thanx, &c) notes from the hundred responses. 

   And thanx of course, 

   Ashraf is King of the Freebies!
