I spent two years in a single chatroom 
function..I saw hundreds (and Im probably not 
exagerating here) of people come and go..My 
favorite question was a/s/l (sound familiar?) 
   I went from being a little newbie to being a 
vet and then I got bored as hell..and quit. I 
dont miss it at all.
Please eric dont think I was offended by your 
comments..I wasnt..honestly..I would have emailed 
if I was angry,  to give you a chance to defend 
yourself in private..I dont believe you need to 
defend yourself at all. Your opinion is just as 
valid as mine.
  I just think that it sucks sometimes that just 
because your new to something people devalue your 
interest. they seem to say "Your not as good as 
me cause youve only been here 2 weeks and ive 
been here 2 years.."
  My pet peeve is that there is always someone 
who has some snide comment to make and when your 
new your an easy target..
I watched this forum for a little while before I 
ever posted.. and I finally got up enough courage 
to  post because this was the place where there 
was less of that bias than other places..I HATE 
to post in a place where people discount 
everything you say because you happened to show 
up later than they did..Its petty. 
  Eric..Im not saying that your petty, Im saying 
that the BIAS is petty..I think that your peeves 
are solid ones..and my outlook on them is 
different, I didnt think anyone would get too mad 
if I put in a different point of view..

Pale( Sorry its so long eheh)
