BP, I value your opinion. I was trying to impart that philosophy to another poster last week, that he should filter a little because some threads were simply not his area and he didn’t need to post on every one. I didn’t mean to offend him, just to make him realize that he needed to filter a bit like most of us “older” folks do.
IMHO, many of us who join a blog, get so excited and into it, we just let our fingers take over without realizing that we are sharing too much or maybe even helping too much when it is not warranted and doing more harm than good. So I myself decided to go on the Eclipse diet and learned from her to filter and choose my battles. Say what is important and what might be helpful and useful to others, but that’s it. What’s the point of arguing your points to death? I don’t have to be right, my point is just to be helpful to anyone who might gain something from my perspective.
I hope to be able to live by this rule and not be dragged into battle again. It is just not worth the outcome.
