Thank you for proving a small part of my point. In the rest of the post I mentioned my love for this site. To be more specific, I see many examples of people being very giving and helpful (and this seems to be overwhelmingly the majority). But a few misplaced brush off comments or incidental labeling of people ("noob") can be discouraging enough to those that are new that many will never hit their 50. The risk of getting flamed is too high for some people. I have chosen to be a lurker until I felt I had a good understanding of the community before I made myself public (and an open target). But I also waited until I felt I could contribute in a more meaningful way.
I am sorry to any who felt like my comments were bashing the café or its fantastic members, it was only meant to express how hard it can be to learn to navigate the forum. I should choose my words more carefully. |

Friend Tree........
I think that Joey_Z has made some humorous comments, and, I don't think, especially in his January 4th post that he wrote a "big piece of trash". He writes in sentences, which is a lot more than many who post comments here, do! In the circus, we use a term: "First o' May", to "identify" a "tenderfoot" who joined on after May 1, when the weather gets nicer. The term is not a sarcastic expression, and it is also not a disparaging one. Back in 1945, I was a "First o' May". I was "green". I remember an old "proverb": "When you are green, you can get ripe, When you are ripe, you just get rotten!" After 70 years "on the boards", perhaps, I've become rotten??? In the two years plus since I "joined this show", I've read more than a few comments, from "old timers" that showed their total lack of understanding. I'm sure that they meant well, but......... I think that most of the "active" posters seem to me to be most sincere. Enough! it's time for coffee. O May I suggest that you read Joey Z's reply (January 20) just above..

Thanks for the defense Dick, but it is a good reminder that the light tone in my head while writing does not necessarily translate into a light tone in the reader's head. We all have enough experience with written communication to know this, but I sometimes forget in the heat of the moment.
Bowers - yikes! It took me just shy of 12 years to hit my 50 posts. At that rate I can look forward to inner circle status at the age of 271. I guess that Wizard is right...I will really hear the angels sing at that point. ![]() |

Joey_Z........Where in the Badger state, do you live? PM me. Just curious. Occasionally, I venture forth (or fifth, even) from Escanaba. Maybe we can meet for lunch? (Does McDlonald's take reservations?
Angels singing! That's how, as a little boy, I learned what God's name is. (His name is Harold. --"Hark the Harold angels sing!") Qui bene csntat, bis orat!!! O

I wasn't even aware of this '50 posts' thing. I just clicked on the thread because it was recent. But good to know.

There are already too many forums to keep up with in the Café ha ha. There is more? First I have about them too. I wish there was a "show new posts" button like many other forums have.... suree would make it easier to keep up.

I've been coming to this site for years but hardly said a word til recently. Mainly been adding to my collection of collectible magic, so when I come here, I search for "mikame" and "magic wagon" and try to help out in whatever threads pop up. Then skim the remaining (there really are way too many here) and try to find a few more threads to be helpful in.

As of this post, I'm at 31 posts in the 2 years since I joined the Café. At this rate, I'll be 'downstairs' in late 2016.

I'm trying to be more active, but I don't like to post just for the sake of posting (unless that's exactly what I'm doing here!)
