 Did you try clicking on FAQ at the bottom of your profile page, then ---> 'privacy and security' --->How do I hide my last name ??  Hope that works.

@FR W.

Thank you again.  Best wishes.  

@Jim K.

You were right.  It reached page 8 before the day ended.  

@FR W.I am going to bring my participation on this thread to a close.  We strayed too far from the original subject.  

@Jim K.  Thanks for your humorous insert at times breaking the monotony of the thread.  We had our differences but closed out respectfully.

@Dan H.  I liked your post made about 4 hrs. ago better.  It was more unbiased.  Just my opinion.

@FR W.  You came out of nowhere and saw my point of view.  Thanks for your support.

@Jonathan Greene  I thought your earlier post said you were concluding.  Anyway, you have your opinion of me and I have of yours.  It is irrelevant of each other.  This thread was part fun, part waste of time and part educational. Hint- educational was not RE....but people!

I have no desire for this thread to be the longest non-educational thread like @Jim K mentioned at one point(humor again by him :))  On second thought, if it could break that record and need a few more response from me then.....What the heck!  Why not!!  :)

Peace out!!

 "LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GUYS ARE MADE UP OF" !!   Wow...just wow!

Not sure where to even begin.  This is an entire book filled topic.  After zoom then what?  Physical meet up @ OK Corral?  Your ego knows no limits.  

You realize I ignored your last response because it was a general response with nothing personal.  But you are not happy, still.  Your ego has taken control of you. 

That starting quote of your I haven't heard since high school days(maybe middle school).  Nor have I heard from the likes of Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk.  Could you please rank yourself amongst them so at least I have an idea?   

What do you expect to get out of debate on Zoom that hasn't been discussed here already? As a matter of fact you left a 'respectable discussion' long time ago on this thread and took it to another level.  Lower.  In one of your recent comments you even resorted to calling "newbie babies".  

For those of us who choose to maintain our privacy, it is just that.  Our choice.  Everything can be discussed here.  You seem to have no trouble responding here hence I see no point otherwise.  You on the other hand have no choice but to give up that privacy since your livelihood depends on seeking clients here. We don't.  Sorry.

Do you even realized what you are doing to yourself by quoting your opening line?  I hope your potential prospects do not come across this thread. 

Come to think of it, you give seasoned pros a bad rap just like some newbies give newcomers a bad rap. So unfortunate.  Even @Jim K who hurled personal insult (I did not respond in kind) did not go beyond a few comments, has closed out respectably.  It's all good.  We all make mistakes from time to time.  It's not late for you to follow suit.  We can be friends and you get to save face.  What will it be?  

Other seasoned pros are watching...

 Gratias tibi.  

@Jim K.

I am sure it is really, really hard.  Not harder than understanding some people's impression of themselves.  Having said that it's not entirely true.  I have someone here on BP who is making it easier for me.  I am thankful to him.  

Laughing at these post?  Probably.  I couldn't disagree at this point is my honest answer.  One thing I won't be doing is laugh at another newbie's post or indicating to a newbie he/she will laugh at their own post.  

'If' is not the word.  I will be doing it.

@Jim K.

I could respond in kind to your comment but will refrain from doing that.  

If you have a disagreement? There's nothing wrong.

If you have a different opinion? That's actually good.

If you want to belittle and demean?  It's not ok.

Posting uncivilized comments?  Show some restrain.

@FR W.

I have only been defending newbies while admitting their faults at the same time but keep getting insults.  For the life of me I don't understand how some seasoned pros think it's ok to do that.  Even more baffling is watching other pros joining in on that.  Last one being Jim K. who took it another level!  Newbies are largely wrong, I get that, but for a reason.  What reason do seasoned pros has to not just be understanding of that?  

Only a couple dared to chime in and break away from the 'club' which I largely appreciate. 

@Bradley Buxton

Thank you for your thoughtful comments.  Not everyone think like you as you can very well see on this thread.
