I'm going to have to stop posting on these boards before I go nuts or turn into a troll :(

I can feel myself getting more vicious with every post I make.

I don't know what it is, the long wait or all the posts by people who don't bother to read the stickies, the technical news or the server status.

Whatever it is, I'm out of here for now.

Cheers :)

Dear 5&1/2 I am sorry you are feeling this way and I certainly can share your feelings. I have read a few of your recent posts and you are genuine and even tempered. Don't go too far and a break is good although the (Crap) will still be here.

I can see what you mean and have some of the same feelings myself. You really have been positive, but yes, all this can wear one out!

Take a break, relax, recharge, and then come back, please! :-)

Congratulations on recognizing you were getting irritated and for having the self control to step away for awhile.

Any fora can be taxing to one's patience for many reasons, especially the Seti fora from my experiences (although I know there are much worse out there) and I wish more would recognize when it is time to step away for a bit to calm down and regroup one's sanity before getting too vicious with other posters even though a few probably deserve it :P



To truly explore, one must keep an open mind...

You're leaving the Cafe SETI? Woo-woo! More posting for me!

Oh, wait, that doesn't work here. I should have posted this in NC . . .
