Someting I need to say

Just had a thought about many of the posts with responses. :dontknow:

If you feel you must click on the quote buttion to respond to someones statement. Please clean out the rest of the junk. Remove all the text except what you are responding to. click in the quote and backspace over all the text you don't want or delete it by highlighting it and than right click with your mouse and select delete it. It's not too hard to figure out. Play with it a little.

Better yet start you responce by using the persons name and refer to to the subject you are responding to. :hello:

It gets kind of annoying seeing 3 pages of quoted text to put a one line answer. I think most of us can follow the line of thinking / subject. :icon_study:

Case in point. There is a 4 page quote in here.........

http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.php/topic,168116.0.html

Another annoying thing. If you really haven't anything to add other than....... :thumbsup: ......don't bother. :protest:

Also use spell check. ??? :icon_scratch:

I just had to get this off my chest. Sorry if it sounds offensive. I mean none. Just not finding much silver these days and have been reading a lot of post's....... Who am I kidding I read all the post every day..... :tard:

Which I do enjoy........ Mostly :icon_sunny:

Oh and on the side below some people's avatar. There is so much useless information posted there, that a simple 1 line answer turns into a page and a half of plain white screen on my screen, and I have to scroll 2 pages to get to the next responce. :BangHead: :angry3:

Oh and a Half dollar is singular. More than one is Halves. :sign12:

Don't get mad. Just clean it up a little. Just a little constructive criticism. :violent1: :angel5:

Use spell check? So you don't like errors? But you have been reading a lot of "post's"? FYI, it is "posts" in that usage. It is a plural word, not a possessive one. That is follwoed by the fact that you read "all the post" every day. Again, it is "posts". Plural.

Granted, I type terribly, and my posts have errors in them. But I'm not the one stating how it irritates me to read posts with errors and then following it up with two sentences in a row with ... errors. ::)

And no I didn't just need to get that off my chest. I'm still FINE with your errors. Just don't think you should be casting stones within that glass house you (and I) live in.

:-)

Now back to searching boxes and finding no silver. LOL. have a great night, and don't take this OR yourself too seriously. ;D

Classic.... :)

Until there is a decent rating system for giving posts positive or negative feedback, there is nothing wrong with posting a thumbs up (or thumbs down as needed).

As for the spell check, grammar, etc... Everyone should be looking at these posts as practice for the big day you need to sue Experian for $1000 because they keep screwing up your credit report, or McDonald's because they accidentally put onions on your hamburger, or whatever the situation may warrant. Dispute resolution requires a strong ability to communicate and posting in forums like these provides ample opportunity to refine that type of skill.

I don't use spell check on my posts because this is just a hobby. It is fun for me, and I enjoy posting and also reading posts. I write them, normally pretty fast, and then post. I think my message gets across, even if I spell follow as follwo sometimes.

But when I write articles about CRH'ing and publish them in magazines? Yeah, then I use spell check. And I check my grammar, and I even check my sentence structure. ;D
