I entirely agree. I fully support the positive intent of the statements bel= ow.=20 My belief is that this forum is extremely helpful to many people and theref= ore has great value to its members.=20 I would ask that we all strive to support each other and not be "mean to ea= ch other". I believe that each member should be respected and treated with= proactive positive support. =20 Each of us have the potential to be 'Teachers' but all of us are 'Students'= .. I would ask that we all treat others the way we would want to be treated.=20 There are so many positively presented technical topics and knowledge enhan= cing solutions presented on this forum. I want to support and thank each a= nd every positive contributor.

Subject: [OT]Our Discussion Sent: Mar 19, 2011 8:50 AM Unfortunately I feel as if Olin has driven many away from using this forum.= Discussions become about whether Olin is "right" and are hijacked by him.= His replies are condescending and seem more about "winning" the argument = to prove his vastly superior intellect than to help others and/or teach som= ething useful. Regardless of whether his statements are factually correct,= the manner in which this "advice" is given is so acidic that it has become= useless. If Olin worked for me he would either be relegated to a position= in which I could isolate him from all human interaction or fired for his i= nability to hold a discussion in a professional and adult manner (i.e.. tre= at people with respect).
