We are all accountable for our words. If you lie, mislead, tell 1/2 truth's or just exaggerate you must be held accountable. If you start arguments, make inflammatory posts or stalk you must be held accountable. The problem is to one person there is a problem, but to others there isn't. There lyes the rub. I think we all have to lighten up some and enhance our sense of humor.

We all must remember that we, as alumni, are skeptical of many claims and when things don't ring true we are the first to say so and to find the truth and proof. Please, no more premature posts would solve some of this. Please have a good memory so when you post something and the 3 months later say you never said that, your derriere will get bit. Smiling

I hear ya.

One of the greatest lessons I ever learned was from an old art restorer.

"Never look at the subject of the work, look at the details"

That saved my butt from being ripped off by a antique dealer selling a "old" Hebrew painting possibly from the 1930's or 40's.

The Subject was a old Hasidic man, playing a cello, the subject was very haunting and very soothing.

But, when I turned over the painting, the canvas on the back was very white, and the fibers of the canvas were fussy.

So although they claimed the painting was from that error, the fussy fibers told the true story.

This canvas was freshly stretched and framed.

Always Pay Attention To The Details,

This works in business too.

Especially with the sales guys that worked at the company I was at, They would sell a job for 1 or 2 million, and cheer, but when the job was finally done, it cost the company, on average, about one hundred thousand more then they quoted.

Stupid Sales Guys, They will get ya every time, L O L
