Do you remember this post, where you were looking for cheap suit options and I tried, in good faith, to help you:

Anyway, I hope you are a young man that is just starting out in the business world and have great success in your future. I actually just had a moment of silence and honestly prayed that if you work hard you will have much success in life. I also just gave you the benefit of the doubt, decided that you would want to apoligize, then graciously excepted that apology. Not only did I accept it, I humbly said, "Don't worry about it. This kind of shit happens all of the time on the Internet".

Ironically, my statement was based on your bizarre attacks on others who were responding, quite reasonably, to your initial bizarre post.

First post - after a bit of lurking - and this is the thread I chose to do so on..(.can I kill more than one bird with my stone?)

I skim-read the OP's post and thought it generally a good summary of what I believe has come to be SF 'Group think'.

So I was surprised to see people turn on him.

The advice of not wearing black I thought was bang on. In general, it is not a great colour to wear for all the reasons people give. There is some method behind the madness.

Good forum this! If I may, although there is some merit in SF groupthink, ie .black I do think people take all the rules a bit seriously at times. I sometimes wonder if people tend to hide beind anonymity and that there is a bit of classic internet 'nerd'/over control syndrome going on a bit and that in real life, we can slip here and there.

I like the Australian thread - people seem very grounded. I should confess - I am an Englishman living in Melbourne. Much of what I read interests me.

Thanks guys!
