Selective and misleading quotation - what some people specialize in, eh?
Selective? Oh yes, seems pointless to copy and paste George's entire article when you yourself referenced the link as something you think backs up your opinion. Misleading quotation? Only if as I suspect of you John, you have difficulty reading and comprehending English. The text George wrote that I pasted from two areas in his article stand on their own. George is saying what I said pages and pages ago, post #2 in fact (exact quote):
So my point is, build your organization based on what works best for you.George is a good friend and wine drinking buddy, maybe I have to pull an Annie Hall moment on you (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wWUc8BZgWE). The two sentences he wrote are as clear as the noise on your face and I really doubt he'll say he doesn't mean:
the folder organization you use doesn’t matter, as long as you can find what you’re looking for. And that truly is the heart of the matter.
That George's writing backs up what I and other's have said, indicates you should treat him like you did Matt (dismiss him out of hand). But since
you linked the article as recommended reading, the hypocrisy of your POV is pretty clear.
Bob, here's the bottom line. As the OP you can close down the thread. John will never agree with what Matt, I, George and other's have said here. In fact, what he's stupidly proposing is the opposite: use a system even if it doesn't make sense to you. Just look and read his last few posts? He dismisses Matt outright because he doesn't agree with him. He then stupidly references an expert who's piece he appears not to have read or understood. Then when in that piece, the expert he wishes he were states clearly that the folder organization you use doesn’t matter, as long as you can find what you’re looking for, he's got the balls to suggest that
isn't what George meant and it's misleading!
Again, don't do what makes sense to you as most have suggested, do what John says. They '
you'll be right' in his eyes. The data points he just provided backs up what you have been saying all along! Maybe John can scour the web and find some '
expert' with his chops that writes "
don't use folders to organize, and build your organization based on what doesn't works best for you".
Selective and misleading quotation - what some people specialize in, eh?
What an utterly foolish thing to write John.
