time to say good bye

Had some laughs,smiles and some I can't believe people are the way they are. I really hope that some of the people who are here realize that I believe that this forum was started for people who have questions, concerns and to find out how other people were doing with their sleeve. There are just too many negative people on this site. I will say some want to help and some want to make you look and feel stupid. And as for the vets who are sick and tired of the newbies asking questions. Remember you were a newbie once and I 'm pretty sure no one was a smart azz to you like you are to some of the posters here. Good luck,keep your faith newbies it will all get better. Please always remember treat others the way you want to be treated.

When I was brand spanking new I ran into some of that, but I will say that it is important to use the search function and use it often, because so many things have been covered so many times that a lot of people just don't care to get into it in much of a helpful capacity I do wish that the search function was improved a little because a lot of times I KNOW there are 100s of posts on a topic and sometimes I can only find a few but I still always review what I come up with before making a new thread.

The search button searches titles & posts for key words. If people would title threads appropriately the search feature would be more effective. I guarantee if you search the word "help" or "tomorrow" you'd get a bazillion threads.

:D I've been guilty of many thread titles that I look back on as being pretty much unsearchable.

If the god people give up, the negative people win, and we all loose...

If the good people give up... there will only be 5 people left on the site! It only takes a few to add a rotten flavor...just let it roll of your back if you can.
