it's really not a big problem 'tho - ya just need to have a bit of a thick skin and not take all the cr@p too seriously- just like here in C1/C2 sometimes.......

One of their passtimes is beating up on C-4's. Occasionally some n00by will take offense, and it's like piranhas! It does not bother me a bit, I even poke fun at C-4's myself if it fits in over there. I tell them mock mine all you want, just don't try to take it away from me!

But chances are that no matter what topic you need advice on, somebody - or several somebodies - there will be more than willing to help.

One neat thing happened a few years ago. Some member in Virginia (I think it was) adopted a rescue dog from Texas. Off Topic members formed a relay to transport the dog to its new owner halfway across the country, at no charge.

Another guy has a tradition of handing out, on Halloween, boxes of a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts to everybody who comes to the door. It's grown to the point it's covered on the local TV, and KK delivers the donuts on a pallet the day of the festivities. He does it just for the fun of seeing the kids get so excited. And that's covered by its own thread each October.

So it's not all bad over there!
