Re: Iron Sharpening Iron
So far, this thread has made me aware of the need to improve in some areas, such as implementing spelling check and shortening sentences, etc.
Perhaps, Hooah will gain something from it as well. There's been a significant amount of constructive criticism here, well worth airing. Perhaps in time Hooah will upgrade Buzsaw from feces to turnip or something like that.
As I've noted in the past, Abraham Lincoln, at a White House ball, said to a guest, something like "See that fellow over there, I don't like him. Maybe I should get to know him." A long time ago I recall reading that in a book about Lincoln. Of course, that can work both ways. Some who leave a good first impression turn out to be devilish.
Some have chided Hooah for never contributing anything to EvC. I don't totally agree. It was Hooah who motivated me to propose this topic. Without him what some of us have learned by this discussion would have remained unlearned. I think of the old adage, "iron sharpens iron."

I had a friend who had a friend who would introduce himself: "Hi my name is Jim, but my friends call me Turbo." Once at a party, making fun of this friend he introduced himself: "Hi my name is Brian, but my friends call me Turbo." To his chagrin the nick name stuck for several years.
I'll see what I can do for ya'.
Oh man, thanks a whole bunch, Lyx2no. Mind you, I'm not changing my avatar to accommodate some imposed nickname.
