God I miss the veterans. This is now Bill's personal shooting ground. Please delete my account as I have lost interest and moved to creditboards.com
Socratic00: I don't know you as I am a newbie here, but please take this post as well intended and not as a sarcastic jab as it most definitely is not. I must say that, in defense of BBauer (not that he needs it) but since my finding this site and my many ensuing posts, BBauer has been right there for me every step of the way. He responds asap if he feels he can help my particular post, and even if I do not always understand exactly what he is suggesting I do or don't do (being new at all this), I have told him so and not once has he ever ignored my response or lost patience. Not intended to be a pun, but "credit must be given where credit is due," and he certainly deserves as much (along with jlynn, lbrown59, Kistmet_197 and so many others that would fill this post box). These folks make us newbies feel so welcome that I sometimes forget that they are not personal friends! I am most grateful to have found all these wonderful folks. Of course, I am sure you have your reasons for feeling as you do, but I am truly sorry you don't feel as I do.
I think Bill is a wealth of info. He responds to posts and even emails me so we can get further detailed. I appreciate him and I think many others feel the same way as I do. I guess socratic00 won't be missed near as much as bbauer would be missed. I'm not trying to offend you socratic00, because I don't know anything about you. However, I would miss bbauer very much if he left this board!
Bill is an excellent source of information, is always willing to help, and gives fast responses to your questions. The man simply has no faults...except he needs to learn how to ink the entire stamp and press down firmly (inside joke). I vote for keeping him on the board.
I always look for his posts and read them immediately. He is quick with good info. and very patient with those of us just getting started.
I feel the same as tulipchic. Yes, Bill's posts can be wordy and cryptic at times, but if you have trouble understanding them, simply copy and paste them into your word processing software and lower the Fleish-Kincaid readability to your level. )
I don't agree with everything Bill says, but I do find him entertaining and inspiring, such persistence. I especially liked the piece (more like a manifesto) on trolls......
Re: Re: Welcome to the Bill B. Foru Bill posts are kind and compassionate to newbies. We are lucky he is not snotty or obnoxious in his replys like some people here. Remember he is giving us free imfo when he has a business to profit from this imfo.
Re: Re: Welcome to the Bill B. Foru Bill is to this board as a water is to a boat. Remove the water and you are just left high and dry with no where to go! pb
Re: Re: Welcome to the Bill B. Foru If it makes anyone feel better, hes just as long winded at other forums as he is here lol. If you read between the lines, you will acutally understand his answers lol.
Re: Re: Welcome to the Bill B. Foru Personally, I think it is rude to make a post about leaving because of another CN member. Why not have some class and just leave quietly?
Re: Re: Welcome to the Bill B. Foru I'd personally like to take the time to THANK Bill, I've learned alot from him lurking around here!
