Sorry to hurt your head. Reading can do that. Attention to detail is really a ball buster sometimes.

Drink less? Are you serious? That's what you got out of this? I don't drink much, especially at work. Too bad you were somehow led to believe that.

'Post' should not be capitalized, but I do get your point. I posted my "bottom line" up front. First sentence; as a reply to the post above mine. I appreciate your writing suggestions, but I disagree with them. There were no grammatically incorrect or inappropriate sentences. Unless you consider sentence structure beyond Subj/Verb/Obj inappropriate. I was not briefing, I was writing. HUGE difference...

But, I bet this has nothing to do with your or my command of the English language, does it?

I completely agree with your assessment of human-to-human contact. In fact, I greatly prefer it. And I'm not much of a "chatter". I don't tend to take for granted anything, really, much less information about someone online. For all I know, you are Sayid and the border you are south of has a -stan in the title, but I trust this site enough not to share much about myself or make too many assumptions about your status.

I also agree that you should never do anything to help the opposition. You may have missed that part when I said you were an idiot for sharing that kind of information on the Net (an unsecured source). You should check that part again. I was under the impression, perhaps falsely (given then initial post), that anyone being a member of any of those sites would or could be disallowed from attending courses like SFAS. So, if you *did* post on those sites, you would not be attending said course. Not following basic instructions is a pretty big disqualifier, I'd say--and not a very "smart" decision. And not posting your info online, it seems, is a pretty big basic instruction. If I am to understand the initial post.

I would hope that recruiters could deal with all levels of literacy, BHT, but I would welcome more English suggestions on your part. I always see room for improvement.

[Underlined portion.] Yes. I am quite sure. Are you?

As I stated before--rather clearly--you should never help the opposition. You should never post your personal info online. Up to and including anything and everything regarding your "[past, present and future] operational capacity". *I* do not feel so pressed to "cyber post", and therefore don't. And I am not looking for a job, but thank you.

Yes, my 4 post count (5 now, you shoulda caught that one) would show how little reading I do here and how much I run my mouth. That standard substandard reply doesn't really fit here, though I do understand you think you disagree with my post. If you actually read it--and I know it was a bit verbose--you would see that we are more or less on the same page here, BHT.

PS: Cut and paste less. Re-reading my stuff really hurt my head...

Verbal attack on a QP?

I take it that you are no longer in need of membership on this forum?

Feel free to take a few minutes and think this through before you reply.
