| I have a friend who moved from England to Vancover to start a new life with his familiy. He's a Chartered Environmentalist also a qualified life coach. Does anyone know how he could network more effectively - I suggested meetup.com. Looking for more ideas to help in integrate and find employment that matches his qualifications. Any pointers would be very much welcome as he's a good friend and starting out in a new country. Many Thanks |

| Go to places where a lot of people are. Joining Toastmaster can for example bring you in touch with a nice group of people.

| Hi Brutha I am not off topic - career is mentioned in the Buisness & Financial Section of this site- you click on forums. So why have you trashed my request? What is your purpose in highlighting the words ( users who lack posting skills ) ? I dont want to send you a personal message but if you would like to bring up the topic of (users who lack posting skills ) then add it as a new topic and explain to Steve Pavlina why users are lacking. |

(Now, it would perhaps be a good idea if Brutha made the font smaller, so you can spot the difference between content and signature better... but then the size tag is no longer allowed in sigs

| What Jim said. That's just Brutha's general signature -- it's not part of his reply to your question. I think you're taking it out of context. He certainly wasn't trying to insult you. Brutha's actual reply was only the first two sentences. The signature is the part below the line and shouldn't be construed as being part of the post/reply. The signature is automatically appended to every post by the forum software.

One feature of an internet forum is that every user can have a signature.

Furthermore Brutha, this forum is an English-Only forum. Yet you make so many obvious mistake when you write in English. Does that mean since this is a forum for "smart people", we need to exclude you because you make so many mistake writing in English? Does it mean you're not smart because you can't write english properly? I'm very suprise that you respond to a user misunderstanding your posts by implying that the person who misunderstood your post is too dumb to come on this forum. Especially considering you're a mod. ps. Also, it's "Smart", not "Small". |

My comment wasn't meant as criticism on your signature in particular, but rather about signatures on this forum in general. I would love to make mine smaller, but I can't, because size is disallowed in signatures for some reason. (I should have perhaps done better to omit your name from the comment...)

| My signature has a smaller font size in it. How was I able to do it and you can't?

I'd previously disabled the size feature to prevent obnoxiously large signatures, but making it smaller should be no problem. I re-enabled it with a size limit of 1, so let me know if that works.

Setting high (depending how you look at it) standards, can lead to good result even, when from time to time someone doesn't reach them. Quote:

A goal is a direction. I rather have an atmosphere were people improve or help other improve (learn how to use a forum), than one with a lower standard. Quote:
If I can't do that without the collateral damage that someone read it as my saying "xzy" is dumb, that is okay. On the other hand it isn't the intent of the post. Having heard the feedback about my signature from multiple sources, I will also use a smaller font. Quote:

| Wow, that smaller font looks so much better on you Brutha! And Robert, sorry for hijacking your thread for a discussion about font sizes! I hope you do consider passing on Brutha's actual advice (Go places, join toastmasters) to your friend, 'cause those are some solid suggestions. I'd add my own to the list, but I have never been to Vancouver, so I can't give any specific hints. From what I've heard, it's a beautiful place... so he'd best keep his eyes peeled!

| I agree with Brutha, at least on the On Topic Portion. Join a local Toastmasters, a BNI or the CHamber of Commerce. Join up on Myspace, Facebook and especially, LinkedIN. Go out and about. Network.
