: Woah, Josh, now, I dont think you're a jerk or overreacting, and I know youre serious. And I am the last person to be calling people strange or prejeudicing because they are strange. (if you've ever met me, you would know)...

: But. Everyone at one point has a valid question (or two, or a dozen ) to post on the forum, and it should be answered. But, with totally OT posts that look serious, people are going to skip over your posts and glean out the stuff they know is serious, and read only those. Its human nature.

: So, what happens when you have something serious to say?

: I agree that this forum should be used to get to know eachother, but it should totally be on a FIRST-related basis. And using that as a basis, we are growing stronger bonds with eachother. There is one thing that ties all of us together: we are passionate enough about FIRST to spend hours in front of a computer reading posts and answering questions for people.

: I like the links, the links show character, and I am now way trying to curtail anything that you do (trust me, I've been in your shoes, last month I was yelled at by the principal for making the morning announcements too "personal" and "informal", even though I was reading them word for word).

: :If you think i'm overreacting, then i'm sorry, but i do tend to get a little sickened when i see pots that say "I skip lunch because then i don't have to be with kids who talk about non-first topics" (paraphrased of course). and i would hope that at least a few of you feel it too...

: I agree, that is a tad sickening, but...there are different ways to go about it.

: : But seriously, we're engineers, not librarians, and i for one am not going to sit around being boring all day.

: Trust me on this one too, have you ever met anyone on these forums in real life besides the people on your team? The last word I would use for anyone that posts here is boring. Even you. All I am trying to do is make a case for efficiency around here.

: Because after all, don't we all have a robot to build?

/a tear dribbles down me cheak

Wow, I'm touched, thanks. I'll try to be a little more on topic or at least make the headers with OT if they are completely off topic.

"Wha?" -my usual question
