Am interested in this...
More details please!
What & where?
Thanks!

Why did this blow up? I quoted the original question here.
He didn't ask specifically what was done. That's a general question if I ever saw one.
A few of us directed him to searches and he got all upset about it.
We tried to provide details, what & where.
Where, in his question, does he even imply that he only wants the opinion of the one person? Isn't that what a PM is for? If you don't want anyone else to respond, shouldn't it go in a PM?
So many people takes things so personally. I was legitimately trying to help.
He doesn't think that one year is 'new', I disagree. At 4 years, I may, or may not, be past 'new'. Some have been on here for, what, 15 years or more? It seems that he took most offense to that statement, that I was somehow belittling him because he was new.
How does one welcome someone to the forum?
Obviously, after being online for over 30 years, he must understand that it's hard to read the intent of something that is typed. So much of communication is through voice inflection and body language. It is truly hard to tell exactly how someone means something, with all of the sarcasm in our society.
And, yes, AFTER my initial post, I did resort to sarcasm.
If I offended, I am sorry.
(And, lurking isn't a bad thing. I lurk on different forums all the time. That is simply the term that is used when you read a forum without joining. I'm sorry that I offended you with that statement, too.)
