My husband has a new job..he is now in sales. His boss has decided it would be "good press" to hop on to this industry forum and answer questions or offer opinions. So this morning he was responding to a question about cleaning procedures for pharmaceutical manufacturing.. As I looked over his shoulder..I immediately started to point out the things that he shouldn't say...and the way that he should word his answers..He looked at me like I was nuts..So I tried to explain the stuff that goes on here. �Like the "just back from class" post where in my mind, Mendo was just sharing information. But others read an entirely different message. I tired to explain that if you are trying to share information disect every word, phrase, and thought as not to let anyone feel the need to retaliate...or misinterpret your intentions. I didn't even realize that �I had become so sensitized to what people might think or take from a simple comment! �:-/ I guess that is probably why there are so many that choose to lurk in the background and enjoy the banter without getting involved.

It was your lack of use of terms such as y'all, yonder and musn't.

Funniness or tone sometimes doesn't come across as we type.

I know I have insulted people here by not using �

or �

.

Explain to your husband not to SHOUT at people and no matter how right he is (or think he is) someone will always argue a point.

Common Bill, if he had..it would be photoshopped on here somewhere and you would lose at least half of your membership!!

I was talking about the "But" that I started a sentence with...improper as it was! See, my point exactly....you misinterpreted my intention...shame on y'all!

and Vinny, I told him to start everything with ..In my experience �or The procedures that worked for me were... �and not to in any way act like he is an authority...We'll see how he makes out. I don't think that there is as much agression, but who knows when someone will slap you from behind.The bad part is they sign off with the full identifiers..Name, Title and Company..so you can't hide behind an internet ID �

That is as it should be. Too many people playing coy on forums.

Right, Term I was wrong saying it was the bad part...By completely identifying yourself there is accountability. It is a bit different because he has to site his sources..like the FDA, EMEA, USP..which are all regulatory agencies..to back up what he says. �I am sure he will find his share of goofballs who will find it interesting to engage in arguments and off beat discussions..

I can't wait to see how "Mr. �Niceguy" handles that...he is such a nice guy!

Just remeber to remind him that the best steam sterilizers are steam jacketed sterilizers, ETO is being used less and less and finally hydrogen peroxide sterilizers will destroy everything in it's path!

People use enzymes now for cleaning in instrument washers and alternate basic and acidic disinfectants to get germs not to tolerate a certain enviroment.

Hey, where's that forum ... I can be a know it all there too!

Bonibelle · « **Reply #12 on:** March 07, 2007, 10:05:22 pm »

Oh Vinny, Steve and I met in an ETO sterilizer!! Hey maybe that was why it took us so long to have kids!! Anyway the way to go now is terminal sterilizing...via radiation!!
