Re: A Timely reminder....be kind to inarticulate and new users!! For newbies and oldies alike.

"Paul" please be aware that many programs provide for a method of
blocking incoming senders.
If or when you received nasties block as many as you can find. Then
you will discover that the rest, the majority of this newsgroup
contains many devoted and helpful people. Post anything you need to
post here.

In my honest opinion and I don't think I am in error here
posting to this newsgroup could be the one action which
puts your problem into the hands of some very strange people.
One consequence of this is that you may find yourself the target
of some unedifying comments. Indeed rather than get a solution
you may well be subjected to ridicule and abuse. Any suggestion
or solution offered here should be well considered and further
advice
taken before implementing the changes suggested. The person
giving the advice may not be doing so out of malice. They may well
just be stupid. Lets face it you could be taking advice from the
usenet
equivalent of the Village Idiot!!

It might help if you grasped one very salient fact about this and
other news groups, they are now inhabited mainly by nutters who due
to care in the community (the failure of) have time on their hands
voices in their heads and no where to go. Once you have fully
grasped indeed understood this point you will post any queries
you have in moderated www groups and avoid this one. There
are of course other well meaning and well balanced posters but
sadly they tend to be in the minority.

Web groups tend to be moderated by a group of well balanced, well
informed and well meaning regulars. Adobe software, graphics and
photography www groups are well regulated and contain archived
material well worth visiting. The advice offered is generally done
so
by knowledgable individuals motivated by good intentions. There
may well be the odd nut but the moderators have a way of dealing
with the problems which they create. However, you may stand a
better chance in a moderated www discussion group.

Regarding this newsgroup, my advice would be, be kind to but
avoid the afflicted because they are so full of torture that the
only
way they can relate to others is to dish out pain. There is one
other
rather interesting observation. You will find that once a nut
identifies
a target some, not all, posters who in the past have behaved
rationally
and with great civility will join in the kicking with great panache.
I often
wonder about the pathology of this behaviour. Considered well
thought
out contributions on this phenomena would be very welcome.

What you have above is my honestly held opinions. Whilst there
are well meaning and well balanced individuals contributing to this
newsgroup, very few I grant you, others may well not fall into this
category.

Thank you for your interest.

I hope you find this information useful.
