@all

Did you notice that "someone" added some new level names?

I noticed SSCoach (Gail, >15K points) and SSC-Insane (Jeff & Steve, >20K points).

@steve-2

Did I miss the announcement? Are there other new levels?

He posted it in a different thread. The new names are associated directly with your comments as you post. Will that feature be added to the "points" tally some day?

No effect here, but I know a few people that have cancelled trips to PASS Europe because they can't get flights.

Why should it? 😀 :hehe:
Why not? 😉
Wouldn't it look a little strange on the web site if you'd have
"Steve Jones - SSC-Insane, knows a few people that have cancelled trips to PASS Europe [2010] because they can't get flights"
instead of
"Steve Jones - SSC-Insane" :-D:hehe::-D
On the other side, "Insane" calls for something special... 😉

Okay, the quote bug bit me and I didn't even notice! Bad Yoda!!

This is for all of you who are perturbed with the postings that you are seeing. I have read your replies and feel that you are all out of line and unless you have developed psychic powers, have no right to question the motives or reasons of those who post. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. If you do not like the post, do not insult the inquirer an expose your arrogance, for lack of a better word... simply do not respond to the post inquirer. Above all, remember this is not your web site, so show respect for everyone. if you want to be respected. Seems to me that you should al have better things to do...like get back to work!
I would disagree with this. Many of us posting here have, in fact, made similar mistakes. We own up to them, and there are plenty of admissions that we have in fact, mis-posted, or mis-assumed something.
I do see that someone posting what appears to be a homework question or interview question, can expect someone to question them. Especially if they have not made an effort to solve it. It's not that we would refuse to help someone with homework, but that we don't want to do it for them. I would encourage people to question that motives of the poster.
I do think the mocking gets a little out of hand at times, and I try to police that a bit. If you have specific complaints, please raise them.

I have to admit I don't help with homework that doesn't appear to have some original work behind it, what I mean is posting the homework and expecting an answer is something I don't help with, if they have done some work and are stuck by particular problem.. Well then maybe. As far as interview questions, NO! We have far too many pretenders as it is, who lied their way into positions that are FAR above their skillsets and do more damage than good. I have met MANY of these people. I just can't in good consience help them get a job they aren't remotely qualified for..

If I make mistake, I admit it and move on. If an apology is warranted I give it.

But that is me..

I added some levels to the count. Didn't announce it since they really only applied to me for now. Jeff/Lynn/Gal soon.

"Soon" has been recently?
