Good Morning, Rager
I saw your message yesterday and apologize for not responding more quickly. Perhaps you'll forgive my lapse when I tell you I was delightfully diverted by dainty, darling damsels in dire difficulty.
Some years ago I had the honor of preceding you in the role of warden, so I have a little familiarity with the rigors of the job. In time, I learned how much fun it was. It turns out it's a double-winner game.
The first move is to recognize the clowns. They provide one of the wins because they're so much fun to laugh at, boxed up, with a gag in their nasty mouths. You can't improve them, they're beyond that, but you can keep them from infecting others.
The second move is to sense the arrival in your domain of a valuable person. These people provide the other, even greater, win because they become a source of pride when you guide them to be more productive.
The easy part is the clowns. There are so many of them ... and they're so ridiculous. And it's reassuring that your peers at iHub know what they are. We've seen them behind sinks and in back-alleys. They're as abhorrent to us as they are to you. Herding them can be a drag unless you smile at their bleating ... baaaahhhhh ... baaaahhhhh.
The gems are rare ... but more rewarding. It's a real pleasure to reclaim an RB'r who was a little slow learning acceptable behavior on iHub. When they get it, they blossom. For the most part, they'll never acknowledge your help ... but you'll know ... and that's even more important.
I haven't mentioned the idiots. These are the iHub members who can't tie their own shoes but, like the cowards they are, hide behind their anonymity and take pot-shots at the people with the energy to actually contribute. It's best to consider the source and ignore them, although I can't say I always had the wit and wisdom to do that myself.
Ultimately, I had to give the job up because I couldn't devote the necessary time. You may have the same problem, but I hope not. You've done a nice job and I'd like to see you reap some of the rewards.
Don't go away ... we need you.
