Thank you Todd. Admittedly, although I have quite a frustration factor with Mr.
Drake, I do hope to figure out how to avoid these kinds of problems.
Fact is I don't know how. I just sat down on x-mas day started building. None of
us should be so consumed or worried about what other people think as to let it
inhibit what we want to build. It is for the pure act of creativity that I
cleaned my desk off and began to build again.
To that end, I will always be encouraging of other people's efforts, no matter
what.
Oh I don't know what I'm saying, I just wish this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
I'd rather we were all closer and worked towards keeping LUGNET, "The
friendliest place on the Internet." Of course not if you have been building in
the same style for over 20 years and some people don't get it!
For the record, I am not beyond critiques. Just please have some respect for my
building choice. I have a long road to explore. The possibilities are endless.
