    Nope. Dead on, especially since he was wrong in the first place.

    Listkeeper, you get a freebie this time for undermining me in the help desk due to what I did last time, but next time its your head.

    :bergman:

    Borgs like policy decision my ass. More like I was turning it off because it was a problem until I figured out how to get it fixed, policy my ass.

    Ain't no freebie to it. You made an absolutely unnecessary policy call without consultation and in doing so started a wholly unnecessary shitstorm. You fucked up. Get over it.

    It wasn't a policy call, it was a technical call. And that doesn't have anything to do with you saying something you shouldnt' have.

    And the board was at risk how? You didn't have time to consult and find out whether this was something to be handled by policy instead making a unilateral change and starting a shitstorm? It's not like we haven't been aware that this happens for a while now, with many knowing how to prevent such things.

    So whether or not its okay to say something publically depends on whether or not you think you're right.

    Glad you could help me to this understanding.

    I'm not the one who started the shitstorm, but if my statement causes problems, then I apologize to Elwood for making it.

    This is completely uncalled for, not to mention not your decision to make...at least not alone. Elwood makes those sorts of decisions not you or even me.

    You are certainly not making his wrong any more right with this sort of threat.

    While he certainly should not have said that in the Help Desk, I can't say that I didn't have the same reaction. And the way you turned off and stated it in that thread did not sound like a temporary state of affairs while you looked for an answer...it looked like it was off and it was over and done.

    Either way, it's back now...thank you. Let's not go to war over such things or throw around threats and innuendos..it makes for an unhappy place. :(

    Let's just ban Packard, make MrsA give Eliteforge lapdances and have some drinks...make mine a virgin Pina Colada, please! :drunkfriends:

    Originally it wasn't going to be temporary, I had no idea so many people used it, but once I did I put it back.

    And this is why we don't make unilateral decisions about features the board has. We wait, and we ask questions.

    I'll keep that in mind the next time you need something done respective to your job and put it up to a committee vote.

    Just let it die.

    Funny story.

    We got a letter a week ago at work about us switching over to recycled plastic bags because customers were clamoring for them.

    So we switched over yesterday, and now all the customers are complaining because they have a light odor if you stick your nose up to them, and they want the old ones back.

    Yes, it should...and shall die.

    But....this was not an emergency and it was as much a policy issue as a technical one that could have used some discussion before a decision needed to be made. Things like this is what the Shelter is about.

    There is no doubt there are times for unilateral decision-making, but there are also times more information is needed and more input before an action should be taken.

    Please try to keep that in mind.

    Listkeeper...we see your point and I can't disagree with it...but continuing to hound him about it isn't going to help anything. Let's not cause a lot of bad feelings over minutia that was quickly reversed.

    Now....dance Mrs. A...or else!! :tamar:
