Heck, we still have to get together & grab a beer
intelligent conversation is at a premium down here!
I'd say though, that writing off this place because you conflict with some personalities might be a mistake. There will be conficts in any sufficiently large group; that doesn't invalidate the value of the group itself. As to getting POed, is it really worth it to get more than annoyed by a post? I mean, it's less than a voice; you can just not read it - and that's a lot easier than ignoring a voice in a 'real' conversation. You don't even have to cover your ears...
Try setting your preferences to show one comment at a time rather than show all replies - and then ignore those posters that are irritating you... I dunno. I can't judge. I changed my posting style (and frequency) signifigantly after LAME got under my skin.
I have a feeling we'll still be here if you want to come back...
Imric's Tips for Living
- Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
- Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
- Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
