I wasn't even gonna read through the other posts before I said much the same. I LOVE Purplecat posts!!! Terse and matter of fact. I always imagine someone who's seen it all... and knows that most of us have ALSO seen it all... typing the way Joe Friday speaks. I imagine that if PC keeps on posting long enough, eventually we'll see:
"Customer type 17b. Four minute verbal. Shift manager solution 6L-x."
And we'll nod our heads in agreement.
I hate to disagree with Mama Ree, but appreciation of a writing style is pretty subjective - I think the style IS deserving of adoration.
And as important as "just venting" is, this board fulfills a higher purpose as well - letting us know that we are not alone. When we see the stupid and the suck day in and day out, when a thousand customers call us names or disagree or convolute logic and occasionally the laws of physics and biology, when we start to doubt ourselves, we can go to CS and read a bit and say "Hey. That happened to me today too. And there's someone who reacted as I did. I WASN'T the crazy one, the SC was. Whew!" And everyone of us who can still function politely and sensibly in society and comes here to write about it is serving that higher purpose, no matter the style.
