Oh I'm not angry. I'm sorry if I've come across that way. I can only type for so long before my arm muscles give out (medical prob) so I try not to get too wordy. Unfortunately, I think my point gets across too bluntly then. Anyway...I'm not angry, just frustrated. Frustrated as a whole by how the system operates...not just to me personally. So much hurt comes from the hot20, the cliques, the disregard for other people's feelings and situations, all of it. Yet rather than compromise or offer alternatives, everything remains the same until next month when the debate starts all over again. Perhaps it can never change and we just have to live with it...but clearly it's a source of a lot of discontent because it's an ongoing discussion that resurfaces more than just about any other problem. And I feel like the ones who are unhappy aren't being heard, or at least considered because they're being drowned out by the ones who don't want to hear it. Anyway, we can talk via IM if you'd like. That's cool. I just didn't want to finish posting with the impression that I'm really angry over here ;) I have to go off-line for a while though at the moment, but I'd be happy to continue in private when I come back. BTW, thank you for your comments regarding my artwork. I appreciate your thoughtful input and for taking the time to peek at my stuff. :) Have a good day at work!
