sorry... one other thing... in regards to this thread title: " Request for honesty and openness"
That shouldn't be something that needs to be requested. Honesty and Openness
is something that we should all be about. If you practice it a little, it
really becomes the easiest thing you can do in your whole life, really.
If someone has a problem with someone else on this forum, they should
'confront' them via PM, and not start gossip behind their backs.
I mean, even confronting someone isn't your strong point in everyday life,
look at it this way: this is the friggin internet. You'll probably never
meet any of us in the flesh. It's really not that hard. It's also a matter
of respect. I'd respect someone so much more if they'd tell me out in the
open that they didn't like me rather than talk a whole bunch of 'nocandos'
behind my back.
So, come on, everybody. Let's have 'honesty and openness' in every single
thread that we participate in, not just this one.
