Why is that ?

They said it is going to snow here on Saturday.

On one hand we have the situation where folks don't answer the question being asked.

On the other hand, we have countless threads where 27 people repeat the same answer.

It's not like you are texting where you may mispel a word and hit send to keep up with whom you are texting with. You have all the time in the world to ensure you are communicating what you need meant to.

I don't understand you because I don't know what mispel means .

I like the way one guy starts his posts with "I haven't read all the posts" and goes on to state his opinion in isolation of everyone else's posts. Then there's the guy that has to be a right-fighter and has to correct everyone and defend his position on everything.
There's some that cannot accept posts that include facts and truth no matter what supporting links and info. are provided. There's the guy that does looong posts all in one paragraph. I could go on. OTOH, there are some folks that are extremely knowledgeable and reliable and after a while you get to know who they are. The truth is out there (Fox & Dana, circa 1990s). :)



Hey, what are ya'll watching on TV these days? There's plenty of hockey for sports fans, Survivor is getting close to the merge, last week was a good episode of Criminal Minds, lotsa car shows on Velocity channel (I love Wheeler Dealers) and Anderson Cooper is gonna be on 60 minutes this weekend.

I sometimes start a post with " I haven't read the whole thread" because I have slow internet speed and I have other things in my life going on. I sometimes don't get to this site more then once a week. If I find a thread where I think I can help and it is 7 to 10 pages long I don't always have the time to read every single post !! So I will make that known and then post what I think may help. Why should I keep a answer to myself if it may help someone in need ?

This bugs me more than anything else. Thanks for all the out of date links or links that don’t pertain to exactly what I’m looking for!

Posts like this bug me too. Possibly it's just me, but, there is an understated demand in your post which says to me, "I'm too lazy to find the information I need myself and all the rest of you (who aren't lazy) are expected to spend your spare time and knowledge finding it for me, then tell me where to find it."

If you go through life like that, expect doors to be slammed in your face (or the other end) regularly. Maybe, eventually, you'll figure out that the world (and/or this website) is not here just to serve you!

Oooooh, you want ANSWERS! Why didn't you say so in the first place!

OTOH there have been several times when there were more than one thread running at the same time about the same topic. I distinctly remember 3 threads on the front page of RV Parks and Campground about the Outer Banks. I understand people not willing to do the research, but a topic on the page you're looking at?
