Im going to add this, even though its gonna be rude.🫤
This "quote others" thing...and then add a reply to each quote, is a very "old guy" thing.
Yes....i realize ur an old guy 🤣
Thing is....its also kinda annoying.
Its like some one is telling you what you said..... when you know exaclty what you said.
Its not amicable "conversational".
It becomes very "anylitical" like, and gets a very unfriendly feel.
People arent spreadsheets.
They arent studies to be broken down into components.
They are human.
Its a conversation, not a survey or a questionnaire 😅
Be careful how you use this. It can be a slightly visally "aggressive" way to debate.
You know, LIKE USING CAPITALS ... makes people feel like youre shouting 🤷♀
Sorry.
I understand the clarity it provides....but, well....it can come across as just plain argumentative .
Juz sayin'🤷♀

@katydidnt you can be angry all you want....its true.
There are unsaid rules to communicating peacably online with words, and these are two of them.
It took me a while to pick them up. In fact one had to be pointed out to me.
Im all for sharing useful information.
One is never too old to learn
Plus....i did apologise for being honest. Its not always easy to tell someone the truth of something when its negative 🤷♀
