Well actually - previously some people did get frustrated - it seems the coment bit is still available - oops. HAsn´t Victor done a magnificent job of upgrading the moderators section!
Most insulting comments were from reporters - which is the bit he has limited.
I do take my head off - I hardly ever to make it through all th reported worksheets without shaking my head at the lengths peopple will go to, to get free downloads!
Welcome to the 1000 club.
I much prefer the 100 club I am a part of - but that is another story!

I �m happy �down under 1000 pts � and will keep it that way as long as possible. I don �t want to �grow up � yet!

I actually totally agree with Ivona. I �m really happy to be under 1,000 and yet I feel a bit ashamed for the time being because I haven �t been able to contribute lately because I do most of my work during the holidays. Good luck. |

To be truthful it can be stressful sometimes... and not with the copying or taking from others but the senseless reporting of things because others haven �t taken the time to read the description. I have actually had to take time outs from the reported section.. especially when I start getting irritated by such things.
It �s sort of like... "I think I am going to say something nasty... so I �d better step away from the keyboard..."

Wellll, I have to admit something. Gulp. I �ve had 1000 points for a while now but just don �t feel I can be �a moderator �. Is that a problem?
I mean I can hardly create a decent ws myself, does that give me the right to judge others �? Also, I �m a nincomputerpoop and know nothing of the www so I find it impossible to search for original sources even if I know sth has been copied.
I DID try once a while ago and found a PPT I know I have seen before - also the technical information in it was both WRONG + MISLEADING but I couldn �t for the life of me find the original source so I couldn �t report it. I spent two days trying to search for it.
I gave up. I don �t think I can do it.
Am I going to get kicked out for it? Or have smelly cabbages thrown at me? Or what?! |

there must be many moderators who by nature are much more hot-blooded than I am with my moderate Central European temper .
