Please log in for more thread options Tracy,
I noticed that with his/her first response. I mostly lurk but every once in a
while a question pops up where I
feel I can offer an alternative. I don't try to force it down anyone's throat as
there's always more than one way
to accomplish almost any task. Hell, I've even changed some of the things I do
because John or RC offer a reasoned
approach.
Don't agree, that's fine. Do it constructively. Offer another idea. Just don't
regurgitate a previous idea while
trashing someone else. And please, at least be more creative with the insults.
It's amazing how the supposed anonymity of the Internet brings out the dark side
of people's personalities, things
they'd never say in face-to-face conversations. There's a small group here who
seem to relish being argumentative
just for the "fun" of being obnoxious. I've killfiled them as their rants aren't
worth the time to cycle through.
Thanks though to all the thoughtful, respectful participants, however. I've been
a Quicken user for years and I
still learn new things every week due to their participation and willingness to
share ideas. That's the real
reason for this forum.
