Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 oh yes, indeed, it has helped me spend tons of time on the phone (which I hate!) to actually getting stuff done and quietly at that. Mac's are wonderful for quiet computers, too... thanks for doing this, if you find a stream of patterns in your research that you'd like to share with us, go for it?

I'm going to be compiling data onto floppy disks and going through it MS Wordpad to pick out whatever concepts/common denominators I can. Also, I am going to categorize posts by member. If I am overlooking this [as it might be an]already shortcuted feature-- feel free, anyone, to interject. I have, in notepad, so far created a members list which I can update easily. So far, I have 450 messages logged in wordpad, unedited. I have them in groups of thirty for each file. The files are generally 30-80 pages long. Now that's, keeping in mind, with replies inserted into each post as well. The repetition I don't see as a bad thing though.This is a project I really need to do, less as a service to the group than to get to the source of my pain and understand. I've never taken on a project like this. Much of my life has been spent sitting at a desk with my head down hoping responsibility would walk by w/out noticing me. Anyway..I see no one's yet used the database feature on the left margin. Seems perfect for what I'm about to do. Yes, I have alot of free time. I generally only leave the house to take a walk or an occasional drive. It's scary out there! Thank God some genius invented the internet! Thank God. Quote
