Thread Name: Can we lighten up a little?
Subject: RE: Can we lighten up a little?
Phillipa said I should come over here. I think she was suggesting I do penance for an outburst on the "Want to find a song" thread. I often wondered why Joe, who is usually quite polite, would occasionally break nasty on some poor soul.

For me, it is the feeling of wanting to control something, trying to do so nicely, and then eventually giving up, assuming stupidity or just plain onariness on the part of the hapless poster.

Well, I crossed the line, but I don't feel too guilty about it. Sometimes you work really nicely on a frustrating problem and then you just gotta take a hammer to it.
