On another board, a member had complaints about me sharing with friends here some thoughts that I shared with friends there as well. This is my response as I don't want the same issue to rise here. This was my open letter to that board.
------
Subject: sharing the same info with different friends at different places.
The reason for this is not everyone that is on this board knows about the other boards or even goes to them.
There are people here that don't go to DVinfo or DVX and vice versa.
It's no different then going to 3 different coffee shops and telling three separate groups of friends who don't know each other a story or some thoughts.
To believe that if i told one group of friends at one coffee shop what I believed were important thoughts, would prevent me from sharing with other friends at the next coffee shop would make this a tough environment to communicate to all your friends.
To live by this imposed standard If you want to make a public announcement, share thoughts or have a garage sale you would only be allowed to put one sign up on one tree in entire neighborhood. Doing this you would never reach anyone other then those that pass that one tree among thousands of trees in a neighborhood. How would anyone know about it.
These three boards are my favorite and I like everyone on all of them. I like sharing my thoughts and concerns about the business and it's technologies.
I see this as a neighborhood of people I know and like. Many of them don't know of each other, but I know a bunch of the people, and I am going to their homes to tell them something that may be of interest to them. Now does this mean because i went to one of my friends home and told them something I believed to be important, I can't go to another friends house around the corner two blocks over and tell them my thoughts either?
I didn't post this in different forums on the same board, any more then I would walk room to room in a friends house a yell out what i believed to be important info. As I said, I went to separate friends at different homes on others streets and shared some thoughts.
I didn't mean this to be rude, or harmful in anyway as suggested. if this is how it's coming across i am sorry for that. I am only trying to help here, not throw fire bombs at anyone.
Many of you know that I have been on theses boards many many years. I never intend to cause problems but only share my thoughts and hope for a meaningful exchange among friends.
Thank you!
