I really like the quirky side-roads often taken by our posters. In fact I
often find them more interesting than the straight bulb stuff. Really,
nobody needs to read these off-topic posts; their subject headings provide
clear warnings, so that the pure bulbophiles will not waste the ten seconds
it takes to read the post. I hope that none of our more expansive
contributors self-censor themselves to keep the list "pure".
I also urge people not to be offended by bluster. So what if somebody
goes ballistic about a spelling error? Learn from it if you want, ignore it
if you prefer, but don't take it personally. When something like this
happens, he or she is actually blustering about some abstract principle
that really has very little to do with you. After all, the person really
doesn't know you. Be brave. The internet can't hurt you, rather it is a
refreshing place where people can criticize and learn from each other
openly and safely. It is ok to make a fool of ourselves now and then. Who
cares??
