Look what happens when I don't get the chance to read
the piclist for a while.....

About half of us are engineers working on real
projects, the other half are hobbyists (thats a
guess).  I don't have time to read the majority of
posts, let alone respond.  When someone does take the
time to respond, be it abusive or what, its taking
time from doing real work.  Now of course, some may do
it from sheer enjoyment or use it as a break from work
to think about someone elses problems for a few
minutes.  Sometimes the answers are short and terse
but what do you expect? This list has alot of traffic
on it, and honestly I sort by topic and delete the
majority.  I did read this thread because I do believe
that Olin's heart is in the right place but is brutily
honest in his replies.  I've worked with those before,
and if you cower down then it just stays as
bad....else you earn thier respect.  Olin rarely asked
questions or opinions, moreso gave answers.  Bummer he
is gone...I prefer honest over glossed.
