helpful members?????

Craven tends to get a bit testy. It may be because he is the one who oversees all the hamsters in this place, and it probably gets a bit exasperating at times!

Hmmm. Well, Gbob... and welcome to a2k.

I think it takes a little bit of effort to see through that gruff exterior and Craven does not have what you might call a warm, fuzzy personality... heh.... but he is VERY HELPFUL on this site. I think most everyone here who knows how this place runs would agree.*

Not to discount Timberlandko who is a superlative giant of a man as well, helpful even when he totally disagrees with your politics.














*Note: Craven owns the site... built the site... manages the site.... fixes the problems.

i understand craven has alot to do and he is helpful but reading some of the posts it seems to come across as he feels he's better than us little guys but hey i've only read some posts, this is really a post meant to appreciate the helpful members not point out cravens gruff exterior.

Flattery will getchya nowhere with me. Jelly donuts, on the other hand ... and cash really gets my attention


Craven - often refered to as CdK - sometimes displays the patience, compassion, and social skills of an irritated junkyard dog. Don't let that bother you much; he's really much nicer than he seems, extraordinarily knowledgeable, trustworthy, loyal, brave, and dresses pretty well - for a kid


Thanks - I really appreciate seeing that sorta spontaneous, unsolicited, obviously sincere testimonial.


Oh, and could I have a receipt, please?

Sure!

Timber, you treat people very well here and seem to truly enjoy helping them with their strange & bizarre computer problems.

(I think it must be a challenge to you.)

You're funny and you're clever and you make light of many things. In fact, I like 'most everything about you...
[size=7] ... except your right-wing views... and I willingly overlook them. [/size]

Signed,

Craven doesn't have a gruff exterior, he's gruff all the way down, to the very last turkle...


Fine fella with a hamster, though.

And gaffer tape?

Hmm, the many faces of Craven.

Sometimes I feel that there are people here that can help me when I ask a question but, for some reason won't. I say this because some time later someone else asks the same question, and many post to help.

I want to take this time to thank all those that always help me I try not to forget to thank them but, just in case I have.

Thank you all *hug & kiss* :wink:

I would never let the likes of him near me with gaffer tape...the fur sticks to it, you know, and, well, naughty boys.


A wabbit could end up bald.

Angelique East -- That doesn't sound like the helpful denizens of a2k. What questions have you asked? Sometimes a question or thread gets lost in the line-up.

The threads do exist. The why of it, I don't know. It's better to leave it at that.

I dunno if it applies to the instances you mention, Angelique, but I think sometimes a question goes unanswered simply because it wasn't noticed by anyone who might have been able to answer it. Sometimes too, the way a question is asked has a lot to do with whether or how it gets answered. As I said, dunno if any of that applies, but it comes to mind.

I understand what you saying Tim.
