[Philmont] Everyone take a deep breath and relax

I too belong to a lot of lists. Most of them are a little nastier than this
one, in fact, this one is very tame. (However I am the main protagonist on
several of those lists, stirring things up.) And I've been a protagonists on
this list, really ticking some people off, to the point that..

On this list, I do get into it, but I learned something from the other lists
that is very relative to this list and this discussion.

It is not personal!

It can't be personal; we only know each other from a 7 to 20 group of
characters we call our email address and whatever we sign at the bottom of
our emails. We don't know each other well enough to make it personal, no
matter how much it sounds like it. (Sure we have pictures in our heads of
the names attached to the email, but their wrong! Not all of you can have
the over-inflated emails I visualize!)

At the same time, there are a lot of dumb statements made on this list,
thank heavens there is more great information. Everyone has one, an opinion,
so take what you learn here with a grain of salt.

You can tell when I'm coming un-glued, I start with my experience to prove I
know what I'm talking about. Then look out because I feel that someone
really blew it.

But what really ticks me off, is none of my jokes come across well
electronically. I work hard at the jokes in my own head and when I put them
through the keyboard I know there are going to knock you guys off your
chairs. But darn it, they all seem to die.

Remember, it's not personal. It might be dumb, but it's not personal. (I
thought that was another killer joke!)
