Even though there are times when we don't hear back from posters, I believe we've helped them and that's why they don't show up again.:rolleyes:

It's like I told a boss, years ago: Doing a good job here is like wetting your pants in a dark suit... you get that nice warm feeling but nobody notices.:eek:

Great thread you have started,
Aye aye captain!!

:D Yes the warm feeling is what we work for... :eek:

But I do believe a bit of constructive criticism from the senior members will help me more...

Well, you are seldom at a loss for something to do. Seriously, even though it is very frustrating at times, I know sharing what I know with their owners has made life better for many dogs. Earlier I helped in several other areas. As we added people that knew more than me in those areas, I have done less and less. I certainly have more to do than get in the way of those that know more than me in those areas.

Honestly... it has to be the people there are some pretty amazing members here :D

The best part of being a member is that I have "met" some incredible people on here. Have learned one than one thing also in the process.

CaptainRich · Aug 13, 2007, 03:01 PM

Help you more than what? I've watched some of your posts, and I think you're doing fine. We can frequently be our own worst critics.

Well, the members here make it worth it more than anything else.

But really... I like helping people. If I could help ONE person, it makes it worth the frustrations.

Helping others is its own reward.

CaptainRich · Aug 13, 2007, 03:09 PM

We are blessed with a great variety of brilliant minds.

And I truly believe we're taking time from our own lives to help others. I've never been to any other help site and, frankly, I don't think I ever will.

I know this is pretty much a repeat, but I agree about the people here. There are some wonderful people here and I feel priviledged to know them (well, know them online of course :p)

It also makes me feel go to know that I possibly helped someone. :)

Maybe its being called a bully and some of the other (worse) things I've been called here, and the chance to show such people up. <EG>

firmbeliever · Aug 13, 2007, 03:17 PM

Aye captainRich,
We could be our worst critic
And I do not know of any other Help site
I linked,I read, I am here to stay...

Thank you all members for welcoming me to this great family of helpers!!

startover22 · Aug 13, 2007, 04:56 PM

I feel thankful to have met some of the members here and honored to be accepted as their friend...
The feeling I get from helping one person out does anything in the world for me. Bringing people together or just helping them with a small problem is a sure good feeling.
Not to mention all the fun we have chatting about.
Oh I love this place!
Thank you, ALL of you!

Yeah, same here. Is there anybody that doesn't admire the finesse Tom displays handling bad answers in plumbing?

nicespringgirl · Aug 13, 2007, 06:20 PM

We learn from everybody!:)

Absolutely. Sharing what we know actually reinforces our own understanding of the subject.

Skell · Aug 13, 2007, 08:31 PM

I like the fact that this site and the wonderful friends I have made here helped me so much in a time when no one seemed able to help. And now I like to think that I'm putting back in what I took from the site by helping people where I can.

But if the people here weren't so good I wouldn't bother.

worthbeads · Aug 13, 2007, 09:07 PM

I know it sounds bad, but I like arguing with people. I always like a challenge! :D

Arguments are good in a way, those like me who read threads find it interesting to see both sides of a story...
Sometimes a good argument where each one is giving well informed answers are the best threads!! :D

That's why I seem to be at the PC any free minute I get!!

It is enjoyable to see the diversity of opinions showing up here.

No matter the thread, we've got life experiences from around the world. And everybody has an opportunity to comment. I think it's more open at the Desk than if we were all milling around the same room having cocktails or something.:cool:

But I'd like for Scott and the Admin's to arrange a cookout for us! :D We could check out Rick's new patio! :p
