[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 357678, member: 7185"] Sorry, folks but I couldn't resist responding to this one publicly..... Not really puzzling. A poster questioned why somebody with education would continue to post here. That was the point I was trying to make, Bell. I have an education but it doesn't mean one can not express an interest in some other areas or opinions. In this context, I'm referring to BrownCafe. And as I've stated several times, I enjoy the banter here. I can also honestly say that I will never forget the sense of camaraderie I had while a UPS employee. I've looked for that in employment situations since but haven't been able to find it. Regret? No! Just a thing I miss. True that I don't have any clue about the educational level of any one on this forum unless they've told me. Did I say--even suggest--that I know everyone's educational background on this board??? From reading many posts over the last several years, I know several posters have either received a college degree or put in substantial work towards one before deciding on UPS as a full-time gig. To each his own on that decision. And I'm a 'bright' enough bulb to know when I've been beat. Are you? I'm also bright enough of a bulb to read hostility and some other emotions in many posts.
