I deleted an old post today.  Frankly, I hope most of you never saw it, and none of you remember me for it.  It wasn’t really THAT bad, but it wasn’t something that I wanted to influence peoples’ impressions about what kind of person I am.

Jonathan Greene recently called this a 'virtual billboard'.  Well, if it is that, it’s a virtual billboard with an awfully long memory.  Once you put something “out there” you never know who is going to read it or where it is going to show up. 

I want to be recognized for the quality of my contributions, not the quantity.  For me, it’s really very important that I add value to this community, because I am getting so much from it that I want to show my appreciation in return.  THAT is what I want people to know about who I am. Sometimes I am too quick to type ‘guave’, and put something out that doesn’t really say what I want it to say. 

So, thank you, delete button for helping me to repair a few little mistakes along the way.
