Hi!

I agree that everyone should search the forum so we�ll get much less messages on the same topic, but it has been this way and I fear it�ll be the same way for good. Why I can�t get my points? What software do you use to prepare your (gorgeous) worksheets? How can I download worksheets? These and other questions will be always present on the forum, even if we find them disturbing.

We�re doomed to read the same thing repeated many times not only on this forum but on every forum we visit. Why can�t people search before asking? Because there are too many threads, newbies sometimes have problems searching before they get used to the site. And because it�s easier and faster � and people prefer to save their time, even when they seem to be wasting ours�

BTW, I deeply disagree about the importance of the thread. We, human beings, have different levels of worry at different times. I know how important it is to save children from starvation, but there�s nothing I can do right now. Or I can do something but not exactly at this moment. Or I can choose to do it later. Or I can just ignore it. Or I can think that since there are plenty of people taking care of this important matter right now, and no one but me to fix the problem of my worksheet, I have to take care of it or nobody will.

I learned the hard way that things really important for me or for the humanity as a whole don�t deserve a single second of thoughts for someone else; or that something I may not consider as worthy of a second thought is a case of life and death to someone.

Whenever taking part in a community we should let our mind open not only to share but also to learn and understand the differences.
