IS-IT--Management
Let me start this thread in response to some complaints that I have been seeing. First of all, You guys make this forum. I hope this helps in getting this forum back on track.
This (the cabling forum) has changed a lot from where I first joined. But I cant say that’s it all bad changes that has happened. When I joined we had several RCDD’s that were in here (their still on the top of the cabling tip master MVP list). It seems that we have slipped away from “this is the proper way to do it” to “you can do it like this and it will work“.
I have learned a lot here after being thrown into the data side of the house. I was at one time way in over my head and several people here bailed me out on more than one occasion. How thankful I was ( I still am) to have some place to turn to for professional help. Now I try to give back and help others with the patience I was given as a “newbie”.
I am not saying in the least that there is only one way to do anything, but there are better and approved ways to do things. Especially in the data cabling side of the house.
I think I am like most of you in the fact the most of my work is from someone else’s mess that I have now got to fix. If they knew the “right” way to layout and design a closet or cabling paths, I would have a lot less to do.
As for a moderator, don’t look for it. Management would like for us to be adult enough to keep our threads on a “technical nature”. It is healthy to not necessarily agree with everything that everyone has to say, but if it gets to the point of arguing the point from the OP and technical nature has been lost.
Arguing has lost (IMHO)some of our most valued members. Please keep this forum and your answers technical and help others. That’s what we are all here for. And occasionally get help from others. If we all work together on this here and now we can make this forum better than it has ever been.
Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.
