Guerrilla warfare

Stay away as long as you like!

Good luck.

You guys remind me of a design group I once worked with....They would bust each others balls all day....at the end of the day they were doing high fives over beers down the street.....Next day, same ole, same ole.....What the hell....I'm having a good time!

it can be fun. sometimes it goes to OT hell or gets old.

busting on co-workers is pretty normal. it's those that take themselve too seriously that i can't work with. they can't take a joke. some kind of inferiority complex or litle dick syndrome.

i remember a designer who had a hard time listening and understanding. he worked well independently. it was interfacing with others he had trouble with. this is all pretty normal, but i thought he was harder to deal with than most. i'd have to bust his balls, show him stuff in black and white and written in stone and even draw him pictures. then we'd end up laughing, sometimes 'til our sides hurt. sometimes we'd work way late on a problem and we'd always go home feeling that we'd accomplished something whether it was a solution, or just a major landmark. there was always progress.

Sorry to disillusion you Ross, but if I met Jonny boy in a bar, I'd probably high five his nose!

An interesting one.

Who ended up implementing the problem to the solution?

DNA

Or you might invoke item m) and claim the other party is using item n).

Unfortunately you used n) first, perhaps to catch an f). But, on the other hand the other party, in response, posted another n), having avoided your original n) in response to a perceived invitatonal j), which may have been a pseudo m)

If you take some time to think about it then it all makes sense.

DNA

Hmmm,

You're a bastard of the highest quality.

Jonny boy, I've never claimed to be non violent. 12 years in the Army, remember. Bear that in mind.

This is getting better and better. A self-appointed moderator and missionary for newsgroup civility is now threatening violence.

Scary as hell... I hope its not for a hospital. :)

Nope! And come to think of it, nothing you've ever posted has.
