As you will agree with me, WG is a great site. Hank has volunteered much time, money, and energy to get (and keep) WG running smoothly. Others have volunteered their time, money, and energy. At various times, Hank has asked for volunteers and many have stepped up to assist. I would guess that Hank will solicit more assistance in the future. I hope you will available to help. And yes, I too appreciate everything that each person contributes to make WG a better place (including refraining from actions and attitudes that would make WG a worse place). *smile*
Team Aqua did not request the color change. Hank offered it. Believe me, Hank's reason for the color change is not create a 'gap' between Georgers, but is to possibly make it easier for others to locate items.
A true volunteer or gift giver releases freely, with no desire for compensation.
: they and many people answer questions on the forums
You bring up a great point that I would like to elaborate on. Firstly, thank you to everyone who helps. Secondly, I would like to reiterate the desired process of locating Answers to WG Questions:
1) Read the FAQs and Guidelines, and User Links (most answers are there)
2) Review forum posts utilizing the Google search engine
3) Contact Us / Contact Form (should be the last resort)
As you have noticed, instead of just giving answers, I try to steer people with directions to locate items, links to the items, and suggest that they bookmark for future reference.
Question Asker's time vs. Hank's time:
If the question asker does a little research, this will free up so much more time for Hank (and his assistants). Instead of researching and answering questions, more time can be allocated to developing more enhancements to WG – the site we love so much. *smile*
: yes i am a bit jealous about the color
I am truly sorry. I hope the feeling soon passes.
I promise not to inundate you with aqua colors.
Hopefully, if you take 24 hours, you will see our point of view.
Good Luck & Happy Georgering!
HMG in MAss,
: Team Aqua is just a group of good Georgers helping Hank answer the Where's George email...they and many people answer questions on the forums...why should they get special colorful forums names for doing things that many Georgers already willingly do??? yes i am a bit jealous about the color, but i think if you just take a second you'll see my point.
