ho do YOU sort the wheat out from the chaff?

[MaryN]

It's really very interesting looking at everyone's style of writing. I do have sort of pictures of some of you in my head, just by the way you write.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about sorting wheat from chaff. People are always interesting and even those you might feel have nothing in common with you might have something valuable to say. I find people who won't look me straight in the eye worrying, and there are some folk who just don't "gel" with me. I don't bother to follow up anyone who makes me feel uneasy or nervous, and a straight "go away" does the job for me if they are persistent.

Stick to your instincts. If people don't stick then you're not missing much.
