Its true in some forums but I haven't found it here and this is one of the reasons that I bother to follow this group. My motives here are pretty simple, I've spent a lifetime gaining a bit of knowledge and I'd like to help where I can. There are a lot of smarties, this is ok, I can understand pedantics where people are buried in a topic and have a hard time understanding anyone that has a lesser level of understanding. I forgive this because I'm basically coming here for the Pedants. I just find a lot of profoundly unhappy people that basically need some therapy. I'm also a HAM and find this on the ham bands as well, tune in to 75 or 80 meters some time late at night US time. - there are just a lot of sick people out there that are making some attempt to communicate but it always seems to come out wrong. "Seek first to understand", I don't know who said it, I'm sure sure Google can tell you in a nanosecond. I think Dave with his light touched moderation and expertise has created something real here. I hope it can last. |

Yes it was a free-for-all. And the classic Rod Speed posts :-DD |

Very rough and tumble, between the ones pretending to have mental health issues, the ones with actual mental health issues, the trolls feeding off both the above, and the good information (Sometimes from the above), good times. |
