Subject: [CR]The folly of youth

Maybe it's because I'm one of the youngest members of the list, but at the age of 33 I've learned one really important lesson not to long ago.
    That lesson is to forgive and forget. In the past I've gone keyboard-to-keyboard with Ken, Chuck, e-richie, and a host of other folks. Sometimes I've just had to drop a subject or swallow my own pride just to make peace and it has always been worth it in the end. I think Ken's arrival back to the list put quite a few people on the defensive and both Mitzi and I noticed a certain level of nit-pickyness of Ken's posts by other members. I think a lot of folks read condescension in Ken's brusk manner. I feel he has shown a lot more restraint in answering peoples criticisms and nit-picks than the people making those criticisms and nit-picks. Again maybe I'm just too young and forgiving, but then I value information more than I value my ego or the need to be right. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Going back to being sick in bed in Santa Barbara, Calif.
