[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 455981, member: 11791"] This is probably the one place in the world where people actually understand the degree of complexity of problems we deal with every day. Each situation is different - but the intensity, the insanity of it all... we all relate to. So if on some really bad day you end up DUMPING... we kinda understand. But you do get better answers if the questions are more focused. Just because its hard when responding to cover all the bases. I find it helps when people differentiate between "venting" and "requests". Venting is the brain-dump rant, when we're so upset we just can't hold it in. Many on the board will start the post with "This is a vent" or "Just venting...". This tells the rest of us that we're not expected to consume the details and come up with answers - the person needs a soft shoulder right now. Everything else is a "request" - a question, a situation, where others can share their experiences and maybe help us come up with answers. (It took me a while to figure out the difference.) Welcome to the board! [/QUOTE]
