you know what jhild i agree with almost everything you just said...almost... the only part i dont agree with is the remark about the popularity contest...i really am not that shallow...i really dont think you are either... gosh, i dont know how to communicate i guess...everyone will agree that all issues need to be addressed...i have tried to tell you over and over that the issues are valid, whether they be positive, or negative...yes yes yes yes yes they all need to be discussed...we are not afraid of them...we can see them...we can see they need to be addressed, discussed...we do not agree with everything that comes or does not come from the company...we are all willing to talk it over... but, think about it jhild...what else can we do about it...it is out of our hands...we try to communicate on a one to one basis with the company...we try to tell them what we think and what our concerns are...we are not the ones who are doing it...we do not have their specific visions as to what they are confronted with, and do not find ourselves in a position to help with their decision making processes...we dont know why certain things are not happening...we do not know specifically what they are trying to accomplish... we all wish we did know these things...but we dont...we are doing the best we can with the given circumstances... the intelligence on this thread is remarkable...the talent is as good of a mix of people as can possibly be found anywhere...we have accountants, lawyers, professional business people of every kind, teachers, managers, company owners, financial executives...and plain old fuds like me who have nothing really to add except a clear thought occasionally and a minimal capacity to really find anything worthwhile...but we do try...we give it our best...we communicate with each other, and with them as best as we possibly can...they are not obligated to conduct their business as we see fit...they have their own directions for reasons that are not apparant to us...somewhere along the line, some things just have to be taken for granted...some faith has to be displayed sometime, because that is all that is available, barring meaningful information... now, please, back up just a very few posts, and read what rosario just had to say....do you see anything worthwhile or of a cooperative spirit about that post at all...i am absolutely certain that you do not...objectively speaking, it would be impossible to see any good in it...it is disrespectful, meaningless, redundant, and mean...surely you can see that....this is the sort of thing i am pleading with you to understand...it is not necessary to conduct our business in this fashion...there is nothing good in this sort of communication...the mans name is not JOHNNY BOY...etc...i am sure you can see my point... PLEASE, jhild, go back and read my post of this evening to you, with an open mind...you will see that i am not pouting...i am extremely frustrated that i cannot get a valid point across to you...i am trying over and over to tell you that it is not what you wish to talk about...it is simply the way you treat people along the way...it is not necessary...popularity has nothing to do with it...i have never seen the face of a single person here...if i bumped into you on the street i would not know who you are...but that does not mean that i have to talk down to you, or treat you in a condescending manner over some dumb issue... true enough, there are those who are going to scoff at you no matter what you say....are you not smart enough to recognize that to some people bygones will never be bygones...can you not let their insults go in one ear and out the other and ignore them...most of these people are pretty level headed and know what is happening around them...we can be spoken to in a decent manner, and we can respond in kind...it is not a hard thing...just pretend like you are looking at that person in real life...you would never attack that person just because you didnt think like he did...if you had a difference, you would talk it over in a friendly manner...or, i guess you would...i would...i think most people would... so here i am again with a long text, which is also not my intent...i swear i am honestly trying to clean up this terrible unnecessary mess...do you agree it needs to be done... look jhild, my intentions are not to fight with you...if you wish to engage me into an educational confrontation, you will win hands down...i did not finish high school...i used to be ashamed of that, but there were reasons...i cannot possibly hope to compete with your ability to research things out...facts...specifics...you gottem...but i have learned some of the most valuable things that a human being can learn...i am trying to teach you one of the most important ones...so, if you need to laugh at me, please do, but please also listen to me
