When do you stop advertising?

CJ i think that if we all took a poll - most would agree that their first few posts were incredibly stupid. i am sure we all did the same thing.. we thought about it, we tried to understand what we were about to do, thought through every word, were confident that it was not a really ignorant thing to say... then posted it and got ripped apart.... and realized "oops!"

I dont get some people though... like lying to a cops "uhm... i am just holding that for a friend..." blah blah blah. I think people have to understand at some point that they are trying to bullshit someone who is hearing that same line for the 100th time today.

People really dont seem to understand messageboards before they post on them... the culture, characters and personalities, the friendships, the alliances, the hated, the loved, the good/bad/ugly and who is aligned with who, who does what, who did what, the depth of knowledge and experience they may have, the naivity of ones own lack of knowledge and experience.

Undermynuts, you may want to spend more time reading and less time posting. at least for a while. your program, your company and those around you will benefit and profit much more from knowledge gained, than the bridges burnt by making uninformed and impossible claims to impress people who know better.
