Dixie and Shawn: Actually, Shawn. If your comment was directed to my posts, let's see what resulted.
As a result of my posts, I got a long, reasoned opinion from Dixie, a person whose opinion I respect, a person who contributes as much or more than anyone else to this thread, a person who has visited TSIG on a number of occasions and much to his credit and our benefit has reported on his visits - including giving his opinion of the future of this company. An opinion I respect, credit, but occasionally put to the test.
And you believe that's bickering? I believe drawing out certain people's opinions, those whom I believe are knowledgeable on the subject in question, is helpful, to myself and others interested in the same subject. Perhaps my training as a trial lawyer affects my methods, but a useful response was elicited.
As for Dixie, I've exchanged a number of PMs on a more-than-cordial level with him, and expect to continue doing the same.
And Dixie, yes, I express my opinions, just as you do. I've no intent of "taking you on", (if I did, it would be by PM), but a little frank debate, open expression of opinion, is part-and-parcel of the learning process, something I'm sure you've no objection to. And I actually share your enthusiasm, though to a lesser degree. But I've never visited TSIG, either. (Honey, I'm making a day-trip to a company in sunny Fla., ((we're in NJ)), you don't mind, do you? Yeah, that would fly.)
Best regards, TS |
