Extract head from /dev/ass
Consider that anything you post to Norm and Norm alone should be done via email.
RIGHT NOW you're being self-absorbed. Just drop it, go "Got it." and move on to something *interesting*.
Exercise for Brenda: Count the number of times you use the word "I" in your posts.
Then count the number of times J. Random User - say, for example, me - uses the word "I".
Compare and contrast.

Noted.
Only thing not understood is how it is being self-asorbed to be trying to change my behavior to be a better member of iwethey.
Thanks for the honesty.

I think the issue is
that most folks want you to stop talking about how to change your behaviour and just do so.
You know, I think most people here like you (with the obvious exception). They'd just rather you do things like play the song game, yak about andre (your PC, iirc), wacked out weather in St. Louis, etc, without going into the psychology of it all...

Thank you
That helps too.
Like I said, this thread is ending today, I just was giving everyone else a chance to speak their minds before ending it.

Key words: "drop it".
Stop trying to obtain a recipe for zIWETHEY doubleplusgood newthink and just take on board what's been said, and move on.
Between BeeP, Gryge and myself, you have all the information you need. Take it forward, and start by posting about stuff, instead of introspective internet touchy-feely tree-hugging hippie crap like the rubbish you and Norm have been posting to each other.
Go yak about cars. Go yak about hockey. That's STUFF.

Thank you!
Much better explanation.

P.S. You see, telling me to get my head out of my ass means absolutely nothing to me, I have no idea what it means. So this was better. :)
