Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Dear Group, I'm sure that there are more people who have complaints than the few who wrote to me, so I will direct my answer to all who may be of a like mind. The messages go something like the rabbit and squirrel story that we learned or should have learned as kids. ( actually, I cannot remember what the respective animals were, so I used a rabbit and a squirrel.) The rabbit didn't want to help the squirrel work to have a food supply and at each stage of the crop demurred from helping the squirrel. But after the harvest came and it was time for benefits. " No, I didn't help plant the corn, and I didn't help hoe the corn, I didn't help water the corn and I didn't help harvest the corn, but I want to eat the corn " . Whaaat???? Huh, you say, " I don't get it " . Actually the messages went something like... I don't want to read certain things on certain subjects. I want you to do or post xxxxxx or not do xxxxx, I want this xxxxx. Well, did you start this group? Did you nurture it? Did you reasearch stuff? Did you post lots of information? Did you moderate it? Did you edit the output? Did you contribute to it's growth, knowledge, or any of the work involved in any appreciable amount? Probably not. So,... you want to just eat the corn with no work on your part? And maybe above and beyond that, you go the rabbit one step better. You now want to tell me what kind of corn that you want and what kind of corn you don't want and that I should only get that kind of corn that you like and not that other corn and whatever else I should do and not do to please you? And the saddest of all is that you think that is normal, allright thinking. And you are so enlightened that you know best what should or shouldn't be done or posted here. Sounds to me that you may need to grow your own corn or your own group. Probably the part that may surprise you is that you may have to do something other than just tell people what you want. But who knows, if you are as knowledgable as you think that you are, I just might shut this group down and come over there. And then,.... I can tell you ...what I like and don't like and can you do it this way or that way to please me. my 2 cents, Frank Frank P.S. What were the " real " animals in the story?
