    I personally know that I come here to make posts and have my own views on things. Usually my goal is to post about 10 posts a day and I know that no post or thread will influence me in anywayfor the rest of the day. Once you leave this forum, just focus on what you want to get done and don't let anything ruin your day.

    JUST STAY focused.

      Besides staying focused, how do you get by the part of needs of human contact? I mean, IM is pretty much a lonely work without anyone else. That itself would be quite distracting.

      Developing a mental filter can be very useful. Yes, there are some useless, negative posts, bogus offers and drivel out there, but at most all they get from me is a cursory glance.

      But for whatever reasons, some folk get caught up in the dross and carried away with the dis-information and negativity. It's simply a choice one has to make; is it useful or is it a waste of time? Ask yourself this question often enough and it's like developing a muscle, a BS filter muscle, the more you use it, the stronger it gets.

    I am a ballroom dance competitor and teacher outside of this, so I get a lot of good interaction to keep me sane. I don't think I would enjoy this nearly as much if I didn't get away from it every day.

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.
