He signed on in April, tho you signed on in January. Make your own analysis pequadude, look at the number of posts that TJ has issued, compare his rep points
to the number of posts and make your own deduction as to the big difference between the two of you. For some of the people about here, it's more a matter
of striving to put out quality posts, that isn't to say or to intimate that you are devoid of merit, it's closer to making the differentiation between thoughtful and
enlightening posts and "bulk filler". Sometimes, it's just as simple as entertaining others, complimenting them where you feel it is in order and not being contentious
where it isn't necessary. I see and appreciate your eagerness to continue posting but I clearly understand your reason for struggling so hard to succeed, but not
really cutting the muster, and as always, I want to give you my candid advice, moreso, my honest opinion, tighten up your game, dude...

I'm showing this love...not because of the kind words he directed towards me. Not because of his sage advice to pequadude...but because for the first time in I don't know how long, being on multiple message boards and speaking to scores of people daily....someone said "cutting the muster" instead of "cutting the mustard".


I actually have a glimmer of hope in my heart having read those three little words.

Please, kind sir, point me to one rumor I've spread. I may poke fun at your beloved Cablevision, but those are in fact based on my own (not isolated based on others posts) experiences. So even they are not misinformation.

Adding to that, without pointing fingers: some posters are all over CD amassing rep from a larger population. Not that all their posts are quality; they might be amusing and a more generous member gave a rep instead of an LOL.

I was talking to LIEddie with regard to someone's rep not always being a reliable indicator of the quality of one's posts.

No crossfire. Some posts do get repped for humor -- something funny isn't always a quality post. Some C-D forums have members who are more generous with their rep, too. Your rep to post ratio is good -- which is what LIE was pointing out. What I wrote was not intended toward you at all -- hence no pointing fingers -- but was a general comment.

Oh, I actually thought you were casting aspersions to LIE. And I was confused because, with a name like that, I can't imagine him going onto other C-D forums to get rep.

Oh, my...I am so befuddled.
