[Geysers] A little more on "rude" gazers...

[Beckykr at aol.com]

As one of the "rabble," I have stayed out of this conversation, but I just  
can't resist anymore.  I am not an expert on geysers.  Many of you go  to 
Yellowstone more times in one year than I will go in my entire life.  I  like to 
keep updated about what's going on because I'm interested in it and  because 
having a little knowledge makes my rare trips even more enjoyable. 
 
Never in my wildest dreams do I think anyone who knows more than me "owes"  
me something.  Gazers are a group of people who happen to have one  thing in 
common.  Any group of people has some that are more outgoing than  others, some 
that are friendlier, and some that may seem rude or actually be  rude to 
others.  It would not be fair of me to expect any different.   I myself am usually 
a very nice person, but catch me on a bad day and your  opinion would be 
entirely different.  When you are dealing with a stranger,  you have no right to 
expect anything.  I would consider it rude to go up  and start asking someone 
questions just because they had a notebook.  But  now it's rude if that person 
doesn't drop everything and spend their valuable  time educating people?  
 
It was way out of line for someone to write that letter anonymously.   Fine, 
say your piece, but have the guts to sign your name to it.
