If nobody whined, would everything be assumed that everything was ok and nothing needed improvement? Just wondering...

Nope. If nobody whined... normal, logical, people would be discussing how to better a device in a sane, calm, decent discussion.

Saying "Damn... email's not working. What can we do?" != Whine

Saying "WHY WON'T MY EMAIL WORK!?! THIS SUCKS! YOU ALL SUCKS! I HATE YOU!!!" and then repeating it about 5 times.. == Whine.

but like Texrat I should bow out.. it appears he and I are the only two that seem to be thinking of "whine" in the same light.

I think that some people who are labeled as winers are no such thing, and it's better to give people the benefit of the doubt. There are several cultures mixing here, not all comprehensible to the others. People have different styles of communication. The nice thing about these threads is that one has the option to not respond to threads one doesn't like. Maybe those who choose to participate in it will get something out of it. Those who choose not to participate will not be done much damage.

Re: Stop negativity- Most of u here are temporary

Some threads get too much attention and others not enough. I think it would be a good idea to single out threads that are seen as models and highlight them somehow. Like, instead of carping about wining, how about focusing on the outstanding threads out there. I was interested in one example mentioned in this thread and would be interested in seeing more. The problem with Thanks is that they are focused on individual messages. That is good, but it's not enough. I would like to see something like Thanks for an entire thread, to all the participants.
