Something I'd like to add in there:

Speculation can be a good thing sometimes and a bad thing other times, but please be wise and sensible when posting such things. And please, use common sense and common courtesy. +.02

Oh, I love going to sleep the night before nationals on a happy note. Very well put Jane. Lets all try to be a little more kind on CD.......remember, your grandma is always watching!!!

Just because someone appears to be callous when they leave messages, doesn't always result in negative affect. When people post these things, it is the senior members of FIRST that need to guide them in the right direction. We should try to avoid large, sweeping statements condemning all things that are not in "The FIRST Vision". JaneYoung did an excellent job bringing about the problem and reminding us what we should be doing. But also remember that that guidance for the people who are off track can also be a great tool for shaping the future.

As always, Jane has wonderful words of wisdom. One thing I have noticed however, is that as nerds, supernerds, engineers, programmers etc, we are very analytical by nature. We tend to be a lot more analytical than the general world out there and gaining a balance between that and understand people, emotions, illogical things and having fun is equally as important.
