Many who've known me well over the years have told me

I have the tendency to tell peeps how to make a watch when
all they wanted to know was the time of day

Hey ... I guess I can't help it

I've taken several of those tests about what makes you tic
and
They always come back and say ... I should be teaching something

Hey ... I feel I do my friends an injustice by just answering one Q
cause
I know if I invest just a bit more time with them today
They'll be able to answer a similar Q tomorrow ... for themselves

Now having said all that ... I'm sure ya'll have seen this quoted

“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”

I'm certainly in agreement with that :Word:

H O W E V E R

I saw something similar the other day

“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today.
Teach a man to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks.”

Have we become T H A T isolated
or
Was that guy just really really busy

That's awesome. Next time I get a PM, I'm simply gonna provide a link to search engine.


It's a new era. Some folks are kinda getting isolated in terms of personal contacts. But were it not for the interweb, I'd not 'know' all you fine gents.

I kinda wondered if the same thoughts popped-up when the phone was invented (Grady, you were around back then. Thoughts? Just kiddin Oh-wise-one! ). Folks probably thought that the phone was very impersonal too.

I don't know about everybody else but I've met quite a few good people over the Internet (StangNet), sage2k and The Green GT to name a couple. The Internet is cool but I'd much rather know someone in person.

Absolutely not my friend.

I actually try to be as thorough as I can in my replies to folks - I just thought the search engine joke was funny.
