Innocence Abused accidentally brings a dead thread back to life. One of the perks of anonymity I suppose.
 
What was accidental about it? How is it a perk?

Talk about non sequitur.

I guess any jumble of words will do as long as it promotes a quip?

One can learn from the discussions even if one does not post. When I read threads and develop a point of view, I don't always have to express it; and especially if my point of view has already been expressed, then I don't need to bore people with a reiteration. I post way less than brudgers, and that is not because I don't have an opinion. It's because I don't need to express my opinion. And, I am always reminded of what a friend told me about thirty years ago: opinions are like armpits, everyone has two. Carol

I like this! I've heard that opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one!

As far as posting, I just joined this forum in the past three months. I've posted questions based on situations for which I have needed assistance. I've been very grateful for what responses I have received. Since I'm no longer working for an AHJ, this forum has been a tremendous resource for me. I'm not afraid to post my opinion when others post qeustions either. I'm female and I'm not afraid to show I have a pair. I've grown some very thick skin over my nearly twenty years in this industry. You can't take things personally. Look at our code hearings. I've argued on one side of a proposed code change and sat down for a drink with my opposition later in the evening. We're all passionate about what we do, that's what makes us such great code officials/code geeks.
