Haughty?!?

I have never ever been haughty...well apart from when I'm telling you all that I'm so much better than you.

But that is not often...only maybe once every ten posts!!!!

Haughty indeed!

Hey Jimbits... I am not calling any one person haughty. But the general tone is that of superiority. Who becomes the arbiter of what is interesting and what isn't?

I am quite sure that my interests run counter to many folks here, but I am grateful to be allowed to participate on whatever level I do, to feel free to ask questions, and I am grateful to find that my questions meet with some interest and answers.

While I am not interested by every post, I sure do enjoy the camaraderie, and a thread like this has a tendency to put a damper on it.

Yeah, I get that. Are they illegitimate? Only if the asker already knows the answer. It seems to me that any appropriate question is going to have to be regarded as legitimate as long as new members are welcome to sign on. But hey, I'm just new here myself. I think Swatty got it right, that the repetition is a necessary aspect of the surge of general creativity.
