I just need to get this off of my chest because it is something that continuously bothers me. I think I have even started a thread on this same subject... or a variation thereof... somewhere in the past. The subject is rudeness.
First, let me clarify something. When anyone sends an email to [email protected] , I am the one who gets it and may answer it. Keyword there? "may".
Second, I am not "Yo" or "Dood" or "hey" or any other such familiar slang name that you want to come up with. I am either "webmaster" or Sasha. Take your pick.
Third, if you want an answer from me, then it might be a good idea to give me some information. An email that says simply, "I can't login" doesn't help me at all. Like I'm suppose to know who the hell you are or something. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Then there are the endless, "how do I... ?" emails. There are equally endless FAQ pages and links and posts in the Questions Forum etc etc adnauseum that will probably answer your question. Don't be so lazy.
I do try to be polite and helpful when I answer emails to the webmaster but I'll admit that it is sometimes quite the challenge for me and more often than not, I will simply just delete the email if I can't bring myself to say something nice. I don't feel one ounce of remorse over that.
I will say that for the most part, the members of CPF are a very polite and educated group. As with everything else, it only takes a few to really turn things sour. And that is how I am right now... sour. Because frankly, I'm just fed up with the rudeness and laziness of some.
And lastly... I've addressed this before also... if I take the time to try to help you in an email, the very least you can do is acknowledge it. Again... the whole politeness thing. I know that your Moms probably tried to teach you these basics while you were growing up. Try to remember them now... this is one of those instances that she was trying to teach you for.
Thanks to all of you who have taken the time to be polite and respectful. In case I have been remiss in acknowledging you, I apologize deeply and will definately make it a point from here on to try to practice more of what I preach.
