Aside from the above joking around, I do think we as a group are guilty of being VERY quick to criticize each other's writings and faults and VERY slow to praise each other's writings and strengths. It contributes to negativity between all of us and a lousy "group work ethic" (substitute the word "work" with something more applicable) if that makes any sense. I think we tend to take this stuff a bit too seriously -- and I'm the first to admit that I'm just as guilty as anyone. Perhaps it's somewhat fortunate, then, that I don't have as much time to devote to the boards from now on as I used to have due to having five college courses this semester. I'm forced to treat this as more of a hobby/diversion than I did when I had more free time.
