    This belongs in general discussion. It is not specific to the propeller.

    Dude, I understand you think that forum members don't like you, before this post I had no opinion, but now your just spamming forums with "letters" that would be better sent directly to parallax email address.

    http://www.parallax.com/Company/ContactUs/tabid/66/Default.aspx

    Do you really think that the majority of us forum users can't think of a way to Smile a bunch of people off here?

    Those ideas come easy.

    I challenge you to think of reasons to make forum posts that encourage, create, invent, design, and help the many users here.
    Some users who are just trying to learn how to make the prop blink a simple led.

    You can hurt or you can help, your choice.

    Dear Mr. Parallax Inc

    This is not a complaint, nor is a request.

    I just wanted to take time out of my busy day to tell the Parallax staff that they are doing a fantastic job! After reading all the biographies of the people that work there, I can't help but get a little jealous. They all sound so perfectly happy, and that same enthusiasm and joy shines through in everything that they do.

    Keep Up The Good Work

    Bruce

    P.S. Okay, I cannot tell a lie, I also wrote this letter to annoy the people that don't like my Dear Mr. Parallax Inc letters :) A little of my develish side shines through :tongue:

    Well, thanks Bruce. I chase them around with a stick and threaten to take their tools away. Extracting a smile for a photo and writing those bios was another trick.

    Really, I think it's true that most everybody likes working at Parallax. They're a serious bunch of troopers given the demands of the business, and every single person has an important role in making the machine run. But don't be jealous by any means - each of us have about 100,000 bosses; how many do you have?

    One can only guess about the subject of the 4th installment of Dear Mr. Parallax Inc.. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your machine control project, and thinking about whether we need to develop a Prop to Prop communication AppNote.

    I'll be sure to let the team know about this post. Thank you for sharing.

    Sincerely,

    Ken Gracey
    Parallax Inc.

    I hope I can understand Spin easier than this.

    Bruce has had two of his similar threads locked because of his behaviour. He's obviously hoping for better things with this one.

    Do to you, and the moderators taking your side, this place will no longer have my input.

    Thanks Leon

    I feel the need to chime in here, but the moderators didn't take any side on the matter. Your post was locked originally due to complaints, and this post was moved due to the topic of the post. The topic was about our staff, but it was posted in the Propeller Forums; you included some links which pointed to Propeller articles that you were the contributor of, but the original posted topic was why the post was redirected.

    Clock loop LOVE the image... That's a classic.

    Bruce, feel free to post whatever you want, but don't get mad when you are called out for it.

    I suppose you can express your opinion, but nobody else can ???

    PLEASE don't leave the forums. But don't expect us to walk on eggshells and hold our tongue either...

    Go ahead Bean, you might as well jump on the band wagon also, everyone else is. And I suppose Leon is an innocent party. :) Thats alright I will keep my posts to the utmost minimum, and on subject, but my contributions are going to be a far lot less than they have been, especially with the moderators dogging me.

    No more special effort from me.

    As an example, I was writing this when I got your message Bean:
    The only reason that I want to continue with this object is so that other beginners like me can have a simple, easy to understand, well documented, and useful object.

    Now abandoned

    Bruce,
    Okay. I think in the long run we will win back your trust and your support. Don't write us off just yet...

    As he's been told on at least one occasion, he needs to develop a thicker skin and not take umbrage when he thinks that someone is being critical.

    Exactly! This is the most chaos I have seen in a Parallax forum. Too bad, I find it quite distracting and disappointing.

    Bruce,
    I agree with everyone and Parallax is nice for not locking this thread.

    The goal of these forums is for you and everyone else to learn from each others skills, not to knock their skills. For example, I provide I/O interfacing and 21+ electrical work and control systems knowledge and someone else provides knowledge in code writing. The forum members do this has a hobby and to gain more information.

    !!POST DELEATER, BE GONE!!" there is no need for that. at all. ever.
    I am no longer interested in Your trust or support Bruce. .
    A complete lack of respect is all I have for You now. and I am now certain I dislike You.
