Was Dave always a CA? I never noticed that?  My recollection is that he is one of the originals. I'm blind.  |

How does one need to prove themselves worthy of that title? You help users solve problems. You do so impartially. You hold yourself to a higher standard as what you say and do reflects on WCG, its reputation and its future. You are cognizant of the tremendous challenge of communicating effectively in the limited means of the written word only, aware that cultural differences can result in your message being grossly misinterpreted from its intended meaning. You accept responsibility for your actions, strive for the high road and assume the better, not the worst. You do not seek the title. You do not poke a stick at a rattling western diamondback. I fit all of that except for the snake thing. If a snake rattles its tail and feels threatened, I will walk away. That is if I come across that snake in the desert. If that snake is in my garage and if it feels empowered by finding refuge under my car, it is my duty to the constitution of this united states to inform that snake that it has no right to my garage. With that very powerful document on my side, I will locate my floor broom and drag him out into the middle of the driveway and scoop him up with a shovel and drop him way out into the desert. The snake finds happiness in stealing a squirrel hole and I find happiness in not being bit. It's all good...

How does one need to prove themselves worthy of that title? hmm... help users solve problems. I do that for a living. I want to write a book about it someday. Look for it in a few years. The authors' name will be Chris Brown and it won't have anything to do with Rihanna. You do so impartially. That's the only way to do what I do, otherwise I would be in prison right now and not able to even respond to this. You hold yourself to a higher standard as what you say and do reflects on WCG, its reputation and its future. I have brought many people into WCG. All of them didn't even know a project like this even existed and are more than happy to help this cause. I wish I could get them to join our team. As far as that goes, I have only been successful with one person (rwgreen89). You are cognizant of the tremendous challenge of communicating effectively in the limited means of the written word only, aware that cultural differences can result in your message being grossly misinterpreted from its intended meaning. I live by the written word. I have written many of those words, so I know the value of it. People need to know how to read, though, and I have no control over that. You accept responsibility for your actions, strive for the high road and assume the better, not the worst. Of course - I stand behind everything I say and write. You do not seek the title. Well, it would be nice but I sure wouldn't be arrogant about it. I have a different way of thinking. Sometimes the answer is the obvious and sometimes it isn't. I find the not-so-obvious answers. You do not poke a stick at a rattling western diamondback. Me and snakes have a new-found understanding.

Was Dave always a CA? I never noticed that? My recollection is that he is one of the originals. The original 4 CA's were Lawrencehardin, David Autumns, Dave Bell and me. Dave Autumns requested his be removed and mine 'disappeared" after I stopped crunching for a year and a half (and that was perfectly OK with me). Lawrence and Dave B. are stilll at it. JMBollier was the last one added. Sekerob started the FAQ threads.  It is not as "fun" as you might think. Answering questions like, "Do I have to have a computer to participate?" or "How do I set up my computer to crunch while it is powered off?" get mind numbingly boring in a short time. I don't have the personality to do it day-in and day-out. EDIT: <<<<< Gold An dat's da facts, ...  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dataman at May 18, 2009 1:13:02 PM] |

Someone mentioned they and snakes have a mutual understanding. For some odd reason, I cannot stand snakes. They scare the bejesus out of me. If I was to meet a snake, I would probably ask my two friends, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson to help me understand why the snake chooses not to like me.
