Yes! Maybe this DP needs to be kept alive as an permanent example of how to do it right :)

Nice one SJC.

What'd we miss?

It was a post about Coincidence Design.

If I recall correct, SJC said:

But hang in there. Just because your first time didn't go perfectly, that's no reason to stop.

Heh. Alternate phrasing: "What dlewis said."

That's alright mattpfeff, you hang in there. Just because your last comment didn't go perfectly, that's no reason to stop ;)

What's the bar-raising part? It's not as if double posts have never been noted politely, constructively, suppotively or humorously before. I think everyone's aware that there are better and worse ways to do this.

I hate the way the "post" button is also the "reveal typos" button.

*snort* Hehe, rodii.

The bar-raising part is that it was quick, polite, and didn't make him feel stupid. I hadn't seen it before, and neither had someone else. I beleived it was noteworty.

OK. I agree with you that it's something we should promote--I guess that's the main thing, right?

Is this the right time for a fart joke?

Man, I wish I'd have asked myself that simple little question before I took the podium to deliver my Grandma's eulogy.

It's a natural, though. Cremation, methane...It's physics!

Nobody smoke!
