:: By the way, the "stress" that you said that I have been enduring is not from the Calmosoft user, &nbsp; but the characterizations &nbsp; (by others) &nbsp; of his actions and the summarily actions taking ''against'' that user and some of his draft tasks, &nbsp; especially with the lack of communication to/from that said user. &nbsp; Maybe he has other time or health issues, or whatever. &nbsp; I know I was out-of-pocket more than once (away from Rosetta Code) for various reasons and/or for lengthy time periods. &nbsp; Or maybe some other kind of communication breakdown or difficulty is the culprit. &nbsp; But who knows what's happening "over there" at the other end. &nbsp; I know for certain that -I- don't know. &nbsp; I'm not that quick to judge when there isn't two-way communications. &nbsp; I was on that same side of that fence once myself, &nbsp; so I guess I sympathize more with guy being hanged then most people. &nbsp; This is why I was helping out with those draft tasks and added verbiage to Calmosoft's draft tasks &nbsp; (as well as others, here and there). &nbsp; Once Calmosoft saw how to include URL's and my somewhat more verbose way of asking for task requirements, &nbsp; he was adding the "extra" stuff (wording) on his own. &nbsp; A little bit of help here and there &nbsp; (and there and here) &nbsp; goes a long way instead of beating the poor guy over the head with a large stick. &nbsp; I believe that is (or should be) one of the core beliefs at Rosetta Code. &nbsp; Treat others like you'd like to be treated yourself. &nbsp; Sorry to quote Biblical. &nbsp; But sometimes, &nbsp; ya gotta do what ya gotta do. &nbsp; (Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when maybe you were that inexperienced &nbsp; --- &nbsp; I know I certainly was. &nbsp; --- &nbsp; It was Michael Mol who helped me out &nbsp; (there were a lot of arrows stuck in my back at the time, &nbsp; but I didn't know it as "they" were leaving messages on "my" talk page which I never knew that there was such a thing), &nbsp; &nbsp; without Mol's kindness and time spent, &nbsp; I wouldn't go on to enter over a thousand examples). &nbsp; &nbsp; Ha! &nbsp; &nbsp; I hope that that experience won't stop Mol from helping others out. &nbsp; Meanwhile, back at the ranch &nbsp;...&nbsp; the earth's horizon keeps lowering and I must get some sleep. &nbsp; &nbsp; <big> &nbsp; <br>So, &nbsp; the beatings shall continue until moral improves! </big> &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 12:59, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
