Tolerance - Thanks

[WGTP]

I was looking back at some old posts of mine and I just want to thank you all for being so tolerant.  No one ever said "you dumb ass, you haven't a clue what your talking about and you can't spell either."  Be careful if you see one of mine, chances are good I didn't really know what I was talking about.

Does this mean we should ignore this post as well? 
Just kidding....I never had any issues with you that I know of.

That's what happens when a web-forum makes its focus that of learning and sharing rather than showing off or judging.  Funny how that works, eh?

Your joking .... right ?
I found some VERY old posts when you used your "full" name, but that was a LOONG time ago
I agree with Mark on the whole !

Referencing R.G.s comments in the Fuzz Face Rant by Gus (they are 2 of the folks I'm talking about putting up with me) I think there is probably a typical cycle that people go thru when they arrive here with various levels of electicronics knowledge.  You stick around and there is a tremendous amout of information - science , secrets mojo and magic to learn and as Ms. Bailey said way back in highschool, the more you think you know, the less you probably really know.  The more you realize you don't know, the more you probably really know.

Stereotype Warning.  I notice there are lots of Bass players here, and in my experience, they seem to be slightly less flacky and more technically minded than us guitar players.  Plus they have better social skills because they don't spend as many hours in their bedrooms practicing alone.

You're one of the ones that are mostly across the bridge. It was clear a long time ago that you'd make it. You even help bring the others along.

one day i hope to cross the bridge....

and bass players, in my experience, are not a sociable as I AM 

it is true, though. the heavyweights on the board are VERY tolerant of newbs like me. I even find myself getting frustrated by seeing the the same question asked by 20 people on 20 different threads in the same week. then i have to remind myself that no one judged me when i didn't really know how to find answers without asking, why should i judge these people?

i grow impatient with myself very quickly too. i just don't know all i want to yet, and the more i learn the more i think i don't know. so maybe i'm on the right track
