No, the post wasn't directed at anyone specifically. I read a lot of threads on other boards (including this one) and noticed that there always seems to be one person that posts in every thread and generally takes the opposite view and/or injects something completely off topic just for the sole purpose to getting a word in. It's aggravating sorting through all the "noise" when you trying hard to find a solution to a particular problem.

For example, someone wants to know how to get USB to work on Windows 98 in a hardware support forum and it turns into a "why are you using Windows 98?" thread. How does that resolve the problem? The user is obviously using USB on Windows 98 and needs help. Maybe he has no choice but to use USB on 98. If there is a solution to this problem, post it. If there isn't a solution, post it, but don't ridicule the user because what he has to work with.

The majority of the people out there are not as computer literate as some of us so they come to forums seeking help. Not to be put down or given ambiguous information that is of no use to them.

All I'm saying is that if someone wants to offer help, post something that is useful. Not something that is 3 to 4 words in length in the form of a broken sentence that nobody can understand. Step up and be the hero. Post something that not only helps that person, but helps others seeking the same advice.

Thanks MIK3. Good to see you are still alive and kicking. I didn't leave TWL because of any spats. I left because I went back to school. I was working full time during the day and going to school at night. I didn't have time to do anything but study. I graduated in August and slowly but surly getting back into the swing of things.
