>>>Maria is correct in her quoting of Dan Freeman, that one of the marks of a good MVP is being able to answer not only the current question, but the next two or three that might follow - and I'll add to that, without being irritating.

>>>(And in fairness, some of Naomi's words in these posts are anything but 'taking the high road' either).

>>Had to lookup "taking the high road" on the internet and I now presume that you think negative about some words used by Naomi in these posts. So I took the time to reread the posts (as mentioned above) one more time. My personal conclusion: Not a single word, not a single thought she expresses there is offensive or negative. What was it that made you come to your conclusion?

>That's the problem with her posts sometimes - there's nothing offensive, but then the choice of words may still get the recipient in a very bad mood. Something quite hard to catch sometimes, and equally hard to imagine a bad intent behind it, but still easy to imagine the reader being rather annoyed with it.

>Come to think of it, it should be considered an art - it's an effect that isn't simple to achieve intentionally. It's a sort of negative diplomacy.

I think one thing worth pointing out is that English is not Naomi's first language. Her on-line English has *VASTLY* improved since her earliest posts here, so much so that those encountering her only occasionally may think she's a native speaker. Interpreting nuances in forum messages isn't easy at the best of time; I think Naomi deserves a little more latitude than we may give others.
