LINDT + LoF:
Lindy, you said it very well. Since Betty doesn't expect to change our opinions, we probably shouldn't expect to change hers.
As to welcoming newbies, I feel we do an outstanding job. We have had, as I can recall, only two really difficult situations, one of which seems to have been resolved rather well, the other of which simply went somewhere else.
If we were not "teaching"...both ourselves and newbies, the response to Project HUNT would have been DOA. It's not. We have trememdous participation, almost 100% of it from those newbies who have troubled themselves enough to RTFM, and now grasp what this GG stuff is all about. Those folks get along just fine...they with us, we with them.
LoF: As one of the "Round Table" guys who jumped on you earlier, I was very glad to see a tempered post from you to the rest of the thread. You're obviously no dummy, and smarts like yours are needed here. Now that you've polished off the tarnish on your people-skills badge, do stick around. |
