Too many threads being dragged off topic and sarcastic answers.

I'm all for a bit of a laugh but I think too many threads here are attracting people to put the boot in for innocent, misguided posts, too early and too much noise stopping the real answer getting out. I dont want to get on anyones case but putting the boot in doesnt make you look big or clever. All I'm saying is perhaps…

So what you are saying is the stong should let the weak become stong also, I dunno that sounds like communisum.

What I'm actually saying is that there are those who came on here as newbs, got to know the place and became regulars. Those people either figured it out themselves or had help from other people or both.

DeVore is right, there is a problem with this forum. But we seem to differ on what is causing it and how to fix it. I say help people help themselves, he seems to favour removing a symptom rather than finding a cure.

But hey, what do I know? I'm just a jester
