Hi David. Hope you're doing ok. Seems like some of the natives are getting restless again.
As for the ones that are always wanting more and more let me say this. David is the owner/operator of the forum. Like me, he has a vision of how he wants things to look and run. He, like my friend Buzz, pays the hosting. That can put a dent in your wallet for sure. Good hosting is not cheap.
As for the titles and the avatars, with a few key strokes all that can be brought to a screeching halt. Sigs too. It seems to me, and I'd bet real money a few others, that some of you want more just to want more. Sigs and avatars and titles have nothing to do with how much you can help others having a problem with their computers. It doesn't signify how smart or helpful you are. It's just something you want so you get your ego stroked. Frack that garbage. You want to get your ego stroked? Try offering help that is sound and beneifical to some one desperatly in need. When it works and they come back to say thank you then that by God should be enough.
This is a computer forum with a lively social lounge. Not a daycare center.
Be happy you have a place to go that doesn't cost you one red cent. If operators charged you to be a member then that indeed would be a differnt story. But we don't. So sit down, shut up, and admire the view.
I'm done...
