Congrats to Jeff.

Funny year to win, when he was overseas the whole summer!

Excellent work Jeff.

Mr. Mucci:  This is a great example of how terrible your thread titles are.  Many members here probably don't have the patience or time for such uninformative thread titles.  And hence they would never become aware of Jeff's well deserved honor.

Why deny Jeff the attention just to be cute?  And why not just put "Congratulations Jeff Warne -- Met Teacher of the Year" in the thread title?

Jason, I've got your back. The green ink is a terrible thing and you might end up questioning your soul, your equipment choices and your third-grade teacher's grammar skills. Be brave and you'll survive the onslaught.

Onward...into battle!!!!!!!

The thread's title needs to be clear regarding what someone can expect when they click on it; people are busy and they should not have to aimlessly click on threads to glean their content.

Brilliant stuff Jeff and, from what I've seen, richly deserved.

PS: Pat, who know what Ran was talking about with these titles.

First of all Tom, I was present at the ribbon cuttings ;)

Geez Pat

2.failure to follow moderator instructions even a moron could follow ;)
Thank You (and the thread title is perfect in this case ;))

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Bob,
We're going to get it done eventually (though I suspect I would glean far more from the session)-Thanks

So I'll assume there are a large number of weekend golfers in the Metro area using their putters from just off the green rather than trying to chip with a 5-wood using a stroke they never practice. Well done.

Jason,

If you see my name under "author" there's a good chance that he thread will be worthwhile.

Speaking of seeing names under "author", in a quick review of the last ten (10) pages I didn't see your name once.
You haven't contributed a single thread to this site.

Then I looked under "contributions" to see if you had helped to support this site.
And again, your name wasn't there.

You haven't contributed anything to this site, in intelligent topics and well constructed threads or financially, so until you do, just be content to lurk  until you have something meaningful to contribute.

Why deny Jeff the attention just to be cute?  And why not just put "Congratulations Jeff Warne -- Met Teacher of the Year" in the thread title?

The reason for the title was that I've been away from the site, didn't review the pages of recent threads, and was apologizing in advance in the event that someone had already given Jeff the accolades he deserved.

Perhaps, you and Ron should create a new website strictly for whiners.
I'm sure that you'd both be big contributors to that site.

P.S.    F.O.

Really raising the standards.

Yes, you're right - by looking at the author, you can certainly make some informed guesses on the content. 

If your name's there, the content will often have some substance.

Of course, it's equally likely that there will be some over-sensitive, over-the-top reaction to someone questioning your self-image of infallibility (justified, in your mind by monetary contributions).

PS - Have a nice day.

It's Ran's website.  We need to play by his rules.

Kevin,

Evidently you, Jason and Ron missed the part about "Thread jacking", along with the part about the posting of inane excessive photo threads

Judging by the quantity and quality of the threads you've initiated, or lack thereof, perhaps you should devote more time to trying to be creative, rather than being a nit picking whiner.   You've proven that you're good at being a nit picking whiner, you've yet to prove that you're capable of being a valued creative contributor.   I question your ability to do so.

Pat,
Relax, I've read a lot of your posts and enjoyed them. The thread about your fathers golfing stories was fascinating. I also read a thread that mentions that you are a cancer survivor. Truly remarkable and inspirational, winning a fight that many of our loved one have lost. Lighten up, enjoy the day.

Now THAT would make a good book title-(with the content the stuff in between)

Thanks Chuck-you might be the only one besides me to have played both ;)
