[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 61545, member: 198"] As technical people and problem solvers, we tend to be very particular about how things are worded and exactly what is meant by the words that are used. Many of us that use "words" for a living are very particular about the precision of what is said. Lawyers, expert witnesses, etc. understand that no two words have the exact meaning and that the choice of verbiage can be very important to meaning and inference. I think we tend to fall into two groups on this board, one group is a little lazy in their choice of words or phraseology (we're here for entertainment, so who cares), while the other group is razor-sharp in the interpretation of the wording. If we have an opinion that differs, even slightly, we try to convince each other that our slight variation is the more accurate opinion. For the group that is interested in the precision of the verbiage, the dialogue back-and-forth isn't typically an issue. They enjoy the banter. For those who don't think this way, it's frustrating and irritating. When there is no movement either way or others get involved in the discussion it can devolve to a more personal discussion/argument. I'd say it's important for us to recognize the type of member we're conversing with and approach the conversation in an appropriate manner. Those that are serious about the exact meaning of what is said (I'd put AE 87, DCS, ATL1, Techster, and probably me in this category) need to understand that not everyone is interested in being that careful with how they post to a message board. We should also be careful to not read too much into what's posted. Not everything has a deeper meaning or agenda. I'd say the majority of members of this board enjoy the depth and breadth of knowledge that is provided. I know I love the technical discussions and non-technical information about the team. I don't really enjoy the "splitting of hairs" that these conversations tend to devolve into. As everyone has stated, we're all fans of GT and want it to be highly successful. Many times we differ in opinion on not only how to get there, but what "there" represents. I really enjoy the interaction with people who may or may not know more than me, but definitely have the same passion of GT as I do. [/QUOTE]
