my intent meaning is always clear and isn't the problem. it's your anal
interpretation and nitpicking (of everyone's posts).
but at least i've always given yours the benefit of the doubt, i.e.,
that you mean well. truce?

I'm with "cloudbait" here -- you were simply whining about "today's
amateurs" in a general way, which is by nature a negative and cynical
thing to do. If you are going to complain about this sort of thing it
should be done specifically rather than painting everyone with the same
brush.

Of course there is no comparing past observers to those today; but it is
*you* who seems to be trying to do so...

Ok, now go ahead and call me names too if it makes you feel better!

Oh, and while we are at it why not have some of our usual witless chain
pulling trolls come along and try to yank my chain again. That would be
fun (not). Stephen? Pile on.

Clear skies,
Greg
