Yeah!! What Eri*K*a said!
I do the jobs of 2 seperate people at my company. I am the senior CF person
AND the network administrator. When it comes down to these jobs, I take
them very seriously and when they need my undivided attention, you don't see
me here .. Like you haven't seen me here since last Thursday because I had
too much to do at home and at the office. I remember 2 weeks ago sitting up
at 4 AM trying to get some networking services back up becuase we had some
customers down. So, don't tell me that just because I post to this list and
don't act all "professional" 100% of the time that I am not doing my job!

Again, yeah, what she said. I work for a company, so I have human contact,
but I'm probably the only CF developer in my whole stupid city. It's nice
to have a place to come chit-chat with my peers .. ya know? If it weren't
for these lists, I would have 0 contact with other developers outside of the
CFUG meetings that I often can't find time to get to.
You want unprofessional? Go over to isp-planet.com and sign up for a few of
the mailing lists and watch the flame wars rage on.
ugh .. whatever .. now I'm just in a mood.

| Since when did being professional mean one couldn't be zany and fun? Life
is
| too short to be stodgy and old and boring.
|
| CF-Community was created, if I remember correctly, and Michael D, (list
| master) can back me up on this hopefully, for off topics posts, jokes,
| banter, and what not.
|
| I can hold my own in a boardroom meeting filled with suits just as well as
| the next guy, and, believe or not, you don't even hear one single
wisecrack
| from me. When it's business, it's ALL business. And I can be VERY VERY
| serious.
|
| We have a lot of good talks here. We've hashed out several CF issues, life
| issues, offered support, etc. Understand, there are several people on this
| list who work from home. Alone most days. No human contact. This list
gives
| them a bit of interaction with their "peers". The missing water cooler
| conversation from day to day business life.
|
| I've worked in corporate America. I've been a suit. There's just as much
| idle banter and silly chit chat going on in a real office as there is in
| this virtual one. Granted we take it to the line sometimes, but we try to
| refrain from dipping the toe over the line. And if it does happen, we are
| all here to real that person back in.
|
| There is a time and a place for everything in life. This is the place for
us
| to blow of steam, share stories, flirt playfully, support each other, help
| each other, etc.
|
| Why, I even throw CF questions in here, rather than in CF-Talk, because I
| respect everyone's thoughts, opinions, and style.
|
| Quality!? This is the best list I have ever come across. Nuff said.

| The name CF Community, indicates there will be some sense of
| professionalism,I love a good joke but there's no sense of anything
| professional in here.
|
| CF means Cold Fusion, not Corn Flakes, Professionals use Cold Fusion, kids
| eat corn flakes.. yet it seems like most of you are acting like kids...
