The Importance of Correct Punctuation
-unknown

Dear John:
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy--will you let me be yours?
Gloria

Just when you thought it was safe to log on to Accy Web again the "Spire Farm Development" thread rears its head once more!!! The best soap opera since Eldorado!!

Re: Spire farm development
 

hi Steve, i will not be making anymore comments with regards these type of postings, as i said to retlaw these have distracted from the initial posting. Rob

Sorry, I was being a bit of a cheeky sod when I posted that. Still trying to work out how it all got so crazy! Think we should take a leaf from the soldiers in WW1 and one of us throw a football into nomansland!!

Re: Spire farm development
 

This is an example of how threads of how threads go crazy
How to change a light bulb

One to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

Fourteeen then share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

Seven then caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

Mod moves it to the Lighting section

Two then argue to move it to the Electricals section

Seven then point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

Five go on to flame the spell checkers

Three argue to correct spelling/grammar flames

Six argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another six to condemn those six as stupid

Two industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

Fifteen know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

Nineteen then post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

Eleven try defending the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

Thirty Six to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

Seven then post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs

Four then post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

Three then post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

Thirteen link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

Five to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

Four say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"

Thirteen say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

One forum lurker responds to the original post 6 months from now and will start it all over again.


The above is a typlical example of what happens to most threads on Accy Web.

Re: Spire farm development
 

do you think i shouldnt have bothered doing my original posting? and secondly do you think i have been silly in some of my own postings? retlaw? i love constructive criticism !!! as i feel it improves my attitude.

Re: Spire farm development
 

Mate, everyone can post pretty much what they want as long as it's not offensive, demeaning or abusive & you play the game, get yourself across to other threads & don't just bury yourself in this one about your Farm.

As to the Punctuation thing from *Yerself* Think it was more aimed at your Sisters comment :-

In that depending on where you punctuate the context changes & the sentence reads differently. Basics really, but hey, on here most spelling & punctuation flies against the norm. People will either accept it, or on occasion have a prod at it or the Author. No Worries :D

You did what you thought was right, and you now have a lot of history of the site, don't let detractors bother you, they appear on most web sites, and seem to enjoy baiting people, every circus has to have its clowns, just laugh at them.
Retlaw.
