Nice post Gr...Forum fools...Hello did you call me?<br /><br />Nice post Greta, I think some folks do that because they fall back into the childhood bully syndrome. It makes them feel superior as they poke you with a stick and they wish to have what you have....

Poor Hamburger Helper...oh how you suckled me through those lean college years. How you kept me going in the early days of minimum wage.

In doing so, they trip over the false impression that their critique somehow demonstrates their understanding.<br /><br />Those same critics would do well to remember a little critique etiquette: Praise as well as Crit. And keeping those two in that order goes a long way IMO.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04753736809917062955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560998983662708651.post-18332423088162162922009-06-22T21:38:08.981-07:002009-06-22T21:38:08.981-07:00Everyone is different and that’s a good thing.
