atw: Re: meltdowns, inspiration and motivation

Something perhaps you do not realise is that they are "names" on this list -
people who may never have met, but who have gotten to know one another very
well over a lot of years.  Steve is easily the most generous person on this
list and he does not deserve your arrogance and sarcasm - I have no doubt he
could wipe the floor with you in the skills department.  He deserves loyalty
and support - and that is most certainly one of the functions of this list.

 
Please take Mary's advice.

Given that Steve had trouble maintaining a working computer I presented what
I thought to be some factual information about one way of maintaining
effective hardware for technical writing.  
 
I had thought that there might be some people on this list that might have
found the information of benefit.
 
What is the function of this list?  Is it to provide resources and
information to technical writers or is it for whinging and personal abuse?

Steve could be caustic, opinionated, bull-headed and prickly - traits with
which you can identify, I do not doubt (Damian Forlani-Brennan).  He was
also the first in line to help a mate and offer assistance to anyone on this
list.  He frequently contributed to the discussion and his advise and
counsel will be missed, as will his unorthodox sense of humor.

There was no “hidden” message - the evolution to meltdown was glaringly
obvious to anyone capable of more than skimming across the surface like a
water spider. Your inability to decipher cause and effect, even when it is
pointed out to you, may not serve you well in the long run and I
enthusiastically recommend sudoku to stimulate your skill at connecting the
dots in more than one narrow direction.  Empathy is another matter
altogether, and short of a strong dose of clinically administered ecstasy, I
doubt there is much that can be done in that quarter.  Assuming that you may
need help with a bona fide cryptic reference, see  HYPERLINK

 I am well familiar with the landscape in which we work (thank you very much
Christine Kent) and re-reading Steve's post failed to reveal any hidden
messages.  I don't often have much to add to the discussion, but there are
times you just have to respond.  I stand by my previous post.  
 
Looking forward to my time finally coming :)
 
sincerely
