Are we toyless kids or adults ?

Are we toyless kids or adults ?
 

Dear colleagues,

I will play the bad role of a quarrelling mother, I am afraid.
 
Have you counted the posts dealing with the computing problem we have ALL been meeting ?
 
Are we only capricious toyless kids or adults whose job includes to be patient ?
 
Can someone else than Victor know better the COMPLEX task that computing is ? Isn �t  Victor an excellent webmaster spending energy to please us ? Will someone else be ready to spend as much time as he actually does to fix this "stubborn" technical system ?
 
Don �t you think that ESL knows all these problems linked with the changing of server because it is a GREAT SUCCESS and that we are more and more to want to benefit from these very useful and rich resources ?
 
So, please, BE AWARE of the fact that adding pressure on Victor will not help him at all ! Let him properly focuse his mind on the ACTUAL problem, NOT ON OUR CHILDISH IMPATIENCE :
 
Let me be clear : I am not perfect and I am perfectly aware of the fact that I am now as addicted as you are with ESL. But I TRUST Victor and his knowledge and I am actually GRATEFUL to him to let us share such a wonderful site !
 
So please, DO NOT PUT USELESS PRESSURE on Victor ! Let him work. He will fix the problem ! He is good in computing and dealing with a website. How many are we to be able to do so ?
 
I TRUST you Victor ! Your 1st family is the people you love. Then only comes ESL ! As impatient as we are ! I know too well how we can be blocked on the wrong idea if we are asked to hurry when the task is too complex.
 
You are great and generous dear friend. You deserve our respect and OUR PATIENCE !
 
So dear colleagues the best we can do to honor Victor �s present (our site) is to RESPECT him being patient.
 
Thanks for your reading my post.
 
Maryse.

Marysa, I definitely agree with your comment.  Thanks to Victor �s initiative and hard work during all these years, we have been able to learn and share in this community.  Thanks to his idea, we got the chance to meet people, make friends, and be able to have access to first class material.   Thanks, Victor. :)
