Boys (most of the girls in here are more polite), this UT seems (lately) to be not much different than NGs (if you don't know what a NG is, it's NewsGroups, by Al Gore). OTs (Off Topic) are amoung the LONGEST threads in any discussions. People are fighting over their pride? I simply ask questions and yes, some of them may be a simple thing that I could be totally overlooking. In spite of those comments (with pictures of members) in the home page saying that "UT is the BEST ever...", "UT helped me so much", "UT < you fill in whatever you desire >", when I first came in here in some yearS ago, this WAS that way (a very, VERY friendly place) and I was little more involved back then (yet never as a paid member) with this UT. What has happened to some of the MEMBERS today (not the UT since UT is only a website)!? Sad that you "superior", MVP, "holier-than-thou" are now at a stage that the word "humble" does not apply to you anymore (of course, this does not apply to Mark McCasland, Michel Fournier, and many others that deserved to be named in right here) ? Indeed bad enough that a gentleman even have to say the following below:

> < snip > and I'll ignore all his messages from now on.

I am not even thinking about UT being split into two parts (NEWBIES (if thats what you want to call it) and SUPERIORS). you know it's funny that when a business opens up for the very first time, everyone is friendly and happy, until ... I am sure you can figure the rest out (since you indeed are the supposed SUPERIOR ones, correct?). I KNOW I could and should not type all this, but I am trying to point out the attitude problem in here. Jesus Christ was correct that when a member of the body is sick, ALL of the body is affected (yet functional but still bothersomed by a sick part of the body). Must the SUPERIORS laugh along with other SUPERIORS and when a HUMBLE wants to laugh along with the SUPERIORS, the SUPERIORS then laughs AT the HUMBLE(S)?

Don't worry about me, I am OK, I am fine, just experancing the same directions from elsewhere, becoming a common grounds for the "America, the beautiful". Maybe there is such thing as "TOO MUCH FREEDOM" (and for that, I indeed include myself, amen).

Today's Friday, YEAR 2001, who cares what year it is, it's the same yesterday, today, and forever? LOL (as in Loads Of Love)
