From: Steve JepsonOk my first and last day of posts here -- I honestly don't get it.... people would rather spend hours searching and pouring over posts (wasting WAY more time) than helping each other in real time...

That is what this forum has been doing for years. Trust me...delete your post now to save face. If someone posts a reply you can not delete it. You can still edit it. Delete everyting except a . No body responds because we have work to do.
All I can say is WOW -- welcome back to the dark ages....
Ok, Please hear what I'm TRYING to say....
AND PLEASE IF YOU HAVE THE TIME.... READ IT COMPLETELY/CAREFULLY.
First of all and most important --
Please Forgive me for any rude, insulting remarks I made yesterday....
I have no excuses... and for whatever reason it just ticked me off
It was a very simple - very casual (at first) statement --
I was just thinking out loud (forgive me for that too-- wrong topic to
post in -- I know -- but I thought New Users could relate)...
nor was I throwing a tantrum like a little brat cause I couldn't get my candy.
To understand where I was coming from:
I was irritated and deleted the original post because I honestly wasn't expecting the
"shut up loser - delete your post idiot" to be the first response...
then I reposted and got another flame with the whole IT thing... which is what set me off...
What I was trying to put forward (and i am HORRIBLY MISUNDERSTOOD) was just a SIMPLE concept and you tell me if it deserves all the attitude:
I was just saying wouldn't it be cool if there was a place you could go....
(LIKE A 'TEXT' FORUM) only with your voice -- a 'VOICE FORUM'
A place where cool cats hung out....
sipped their coffee, tea (or beer) and were able to TALK and share ideas in real time....
A place where you can keep working AND communicate that doesn't tie up your phone, your hands, or your time
(there is no denying that forums eat up tons of time with searching/typing/reading/posting
AND (most people can talk and work at same time)
It would be just like drawing/working and asking your co-worker sitting next to you a question.
Folks with tons of knowledge (like TOM) come and go and hook up from time to time --
and help the noobs (which I am) and NOT ON DEMAND...
just like going to a virtual pub or Starbucks with your buds and saying
"Hey.. TOM.... DOOOD.... glad you're here... what do you think? or can you help? or I got a question for ya?"
Thats all -- just a simple hypothetical question/statement.... no help or attention needed...
Really, I was just sharing a cool tool -- that I have experience with....
AND I have no financial benefit from -- I don't sell the software (actually its free) -
AND I was actually offering my TS server that I personally pay for --
so you guys could check it out (and I know you would love it...)
We actually use it to communicate with designers and Architects spread out over the US....
its a great and efficient (Free) tool for communication that we have been blown away with....
and I was just sharing it with you all...
Thats it -- I honestly didnt mean to tick anyone off (or for that matter -- get ticked off).
I was sincerely trying to share and be helpful and I felt kind of like a
gentlemen who asks an old lady if he could help her cross the street and
because shes skeptical of you she plows you one in the face wit her purse.
So again, from the depth of my soul -- I mean this:
Please forgive me....

EDIT-> and NOW I WILL take my own advice and shut up..... heh heh
