Cyber Banking
Ever stop long enough to notice and reflect on the defined pattern of rhythms and transactions evident daily in this passing cyber scene...
The emotionally destitute, character poverty stricken and ignorant pseudo intellectuals account for a good 90-95% of the borrowing.
All of the capital in terms of usable information, genuine humor and worthwhile ideas are brought to the GF storehouse by the stable and
balanced, principled salt of the earth and genuinely informed common people who are only too happy to lend and ask nothing in return.
Let's make no mistake about it... the wisest and most fulfilled of all within the overall RHP Site have no need to either borrow or lend.

Wordy writing slows down the training process for several
reasons. One, because it takes the student longer to read
the material. Also, because wordy writing is boring; thus the
training may have great graphics but lose the student because
the writing is poor. Most people want training to give them the
facts quickly -- to get to the point right away. This way,
students (particularly employees) can get finished and move
onto other time-demanding tasks. This is where "tight writing"
helps the trainer get the point across to the student in such a
way that everyone is satisfied.
One of the most common signs of wordy writing
(the opposite of 'tight writing'😉 is the overuse of prepositional
phrases, using "of the" and "in the" when rearrangement of
words in the sentence eliminates these phrases, which
reduces word count while conveying the same message.
Tight writing is unemcumbered by "dead weight." It moves
the reader along with efficiency and grace. My favorite book
on this subject is Write Tight by William Brohaugh. Most style
guides, writing books and grammar texts contain chapters
about eliminating excess words and phrases. A good Technical
Writer has years of experience "writing tight."

This thread's been up for just seven hours, and now I've found it I'll hijack it while still staying on-topic ...
I've been doing it since 1997, through several versions of the software, and I have to say the banks are slowly getting the idea, although they still don't have it quite right. I have to deal with three different sets of software, and all of them lack a significant necessary feature or two.
The other snag I've found is that I don't have a way of depositing or withdrawing cash on my PC, I actually have to go somewhere! I need an ATM on my desk, with a card reader...

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI suspect it was bypassed (if it was read at all) for the same reason I almost bypassed it. The truth the post contains and opines on is one of those clear truths where any reply is rhetorical. Sort of like, "Nice weather today, isn't it?"
Thread read and bypassed for about five hours now. Not a single courageous post of either agreement or dissent. Unsurprised
as I did sort of anticipate it might be totally ignored... because it cut to the quick along a few exposed and jagged nerves.

I only have one word to offer up as reply to your original post.
DUH!

"Tight writing" could help you both in more ways than one.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyWrong. I can only speak for myself, but I ignored it because I can't stand it when people write in parables and analogies instead of saying what they mean, not "because it cut to the quick along a few exposed and jagged nerves." I'm a well-educated native English speaker and I tend to have to read your posts twice. I imagine that your posting style may be a barrier to non-native speakers who haven't been exposed to this style of writing as well as those who don't really care what's inside the package if it's wrapped in twenty layers of popping paper, burlap, string, and cotton batting. There may be solid gold inside the box, but it's too much effort to find out.
