Re: [RC] re: 100 milers - Jo Ann KnightBravo!!!!!!!!! Well said and I'm with you on that. Sometimes what a person says doesn't always reflect their nature, but the trouble is the reader isn't able to be inside their head and hearts to know. So they must go by the syntax, sentence structure and tone, words etc.. So for the likes of us Liz, though I am not even in your class, some people can set a tone that can truely put off the newbies, snivelers (waht is that anyway! someone who doesn't want to do a 100? someone an old pro hasn't tested and judged yet!). Also, in some schools of thought, a person taht needs to reinforce to others what their experience and knowledge is sounds more like a person actually trying to convince themselve. But again, that isn't saying that is what taking place here. Just food for thought. Just thinking that maybe people can learn to communicate with respect on all sides. I don't see that yet unfortunately. Of course some, like myself can flap their keyboard and not really "listen" to how they said things and how it may "feel/sound" on the other end. But then again, I am making judgements based on my reaction to how some posts sound. Oh well........... ..Jo Ann You can't make a person learn. You also cannot take away the knowledge one gains through their own efforts. It can change, bemodified but never taken away. -------Original Message------- From: Ibiteraaarr@xxxxxxx I know who I respect for their years in endurance, and they aren't the ones flashing their AERC records every couple posts.
