As new rv'ers, my wife and I have eagerly perused many topics on this forum, seeking information and advice about a myriad of things. We find so many posts helpful, and written in a friendly tone.
However, there also seems to be another type of poster out there: people who seem to believe they know it all. The tone of their posts tends to be condescending, especially at times to the innocent posters who ask questions, telling them in effect how dumb they are for asking such a question!
These people seem to inhabit the tech-related or tow-vehicle related forums. I am almost afraid, as a newbie, to ask questions there, in case these people decide to make fun of my lack of knowledge.
Just a general question: when out there camping, can we expect to encounter a large number of these know-it-all, smart aleck people, just waiting to make fun of my lack of backing-up experience or my inability to fix the engine of my truck? I am definitely not a handy guy, but I'm not ashamed of it. Just asking whether people with this mentality are in the majority???
Step in to Dr. Feelgood's office, sit on the couch.......
A good rant goes a long way!.;)
But not sure *where* it will take you!..:h
(I see lots of good/bad questions with lots of GREAT info and answers)
BTW - when you see some folks sitting in their lawn chairs with bowls of popcorn when you're backing in to an adjoining campsite, they're not "smart aleck people" - just easily entertained..:W
