No, we were not. Most of us QPs around here just did it. We did not have the books, the internet or this site. We signed up went through whatever training that was required at the time and came out the other end as SF - then the learning started.

Search and read. You might even find a necro-post of interest to you.

Please slow down and stop posting and read and absorb the knowledge here on this board.

So far you did not Post your 1st post as directed in the e-mail you received when you joined. Then you started posting with the English skills of a Middle school student. You will serve your self better by reading, searching and Reading more.

Do your self a favor and start reading more than posting.

You have disregarded the intro e-mail advice and I am sure you have not read all of the stickies have you.

Regards SF_BHT

PS: You do not need to reply just read for a while.

I thought the poster was DOA! He started at 11:36 and I didn't see it until 15:01. You guys must be really, really busy today.

Monday in the office. As for our poster child, he appears to be a VW. Indications are he completely missed the teaching points (and probably took them as personal attacks) so maybe it's a good thing. Everything that was pointed out to him has been forum policy since PS.com started (and a fact of life in every SF job I've ever held). There are innumerable posts explaining the principles and the whys behind them. We don't ask anything more of those who want to join us than we demand of ourselves - that's life on a Team.

For all the "aspirants" reading this ---------- "Stickies & Search". They'll save a lot of grief; both here and in real life.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Yes, I found the threads I did not take them as personal attacks. You have helped me. I erased what I wrote, for I did not search the thread thoroughly enough, and did not want my ignorance shown on here. From now on I am reading,and searching more than I post. Your corrective critism has helped.

Young Man

1st Follow Directions that QP's give you here.
2nd Quit trying to go back and erase your posts that you think make you look stupid or Ignorant. Peoples comments with quotes have all the post you erased.
3rd Nothing personal just constructive observations.
4th STOP POSTING AND READ, READ, READ.

Do your self a favor and follow these simple things and you will be OK until you step on it again. When in doubt read the 4th item above and follow Item 1 at all times.

We are here to help those that deserve our time but we only ask for a little professional courtesy and follow our simple instructions.

Back to Item 4 young man.

Still want to quit?

NDD - Dam, I didn't see them in 67. They just brought me in and watched. When I screwed up, they let me know in the normal, kindly manner, known to be the hallmark of a Camp MacKall session.
