Yes funny that, almost as if there is a competition for how many sub-threads can be spawned off as tangents to the original.
It does seem the way some people respond that they are looking for a fight - they should just start a thread entitled: "come on - if you think you're hard enough!"This default font is sooooooooooooo boring and so are short usernamesComment

What do you make of it?
Many years ago when I was a permie (a permie civil servant at that) I went to "Conferences" and "User Groups" earnestly thinking: "This will be a good oportunity to have a deep conversation with like minded individuals and discuss the technical and administrative issues we experience with ProductX"
I fairly soon discovered that they comprised of 3 groups:
a) People schmooozing and touting for jobs (I don't mean this in a derogatory sense)..
b) People "sitting it out" until the Drink up at the end when they could get ratted at others expense...
c) The few naive ones who ticked off thier Agenda and tried to schedule in at least 4 off-line Presentations a day......Comment

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostPeople ask perfectly decent reasonable questions and yet every thread descends into farce.
Why is this?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
