Why are we all diddling around in here?
More and more, of late, i'm beginning to see the futility of posting here. Initially, from some members, there was sarcasm... later it became absurdity... none of which detracts from the simple fact that these Jive ACE forums (fora) are a bunch of excreta. (One can't even do a simple cut and paste in the message box without getting into gymnastics.)
It's also quite clear that nothing is going to change or improve – very much – for the better. John C made it quite clear in his progress report when he spoke about fiddling with minor issues.
To wit:
1/ NNTP is gone. With it, i suspect, the backbone of contribution to the Adobe forums
2/ The points system is here to stay. Live with it, ignore it, lust after it, die by it... whatever... It's immaterial.
3/ The Question Answered excreta is here to stay. (For comments, please see latter half of 2/ above.)
4/ There will be no 'memory' of last visited posts in a thread. Your option will be simple and comprise of two:
a/ Start from the beginning and go down... or
b/ start from the last and go up.
5/ Moderators and hosts are freaking out and getting far more intrusive. Live with it.
6/ Whatever else someone may wish to add...
In short, i shall now try and use these fora (forums) as a resource – a selfish one albeit – rather than a kind of home... a place to cruise thru and pick up knowledge and information, while contributing what little i have to offer in return.
Cheers,
JJ
PS: For those of you hoping to see the last of me... hope in vain! I'll be around... occasionally...
