Yes, guys, how about you please listen to what the Admin said?

This is one of the reasons why the Green Sheet Discussion Forum fell off so much, it turned from a place where guys in the industry could come discuss the industry as well as network, to childish bickering. Just agree to disagree and move on, there's no need for the personal attacks back and forth to each other.

This is supposed to be a Professional Discussion Forum.

I agree with John Tucker. But here's the way I look at it: I am waaaaayyyy too busy interviewing, underwriting and funding clients to be making thoughtless and argumentative posts on this forum or anywhere else. Same reason I never use Facebook or other social forums. I'd much rather be making money or enjoying time with my family. My perspective is that for the most part, when people choose to engage in these activities, they are either not being efficient with their time and sacrificing income or don't have a full life where they could be doing other (more worthwhile) things. Just sayin...

Great response, however, in my opinion it all comes down to Time Management.

Networking is an important aspect of your long-term growth and operational procedures, and this medium (to me at least) serves as a function of Networking. You are able to discuss, meet and chat with other players within the industry just as you would if you go to major industry conferences.

It helps in general to be "exposed" to some of the major industry players which you might be partnered with or directly work with sometime down the line.
