I'll admit that the way the original post was written got my back up a little but hey not everyone is great at the way they write things - me included.

But none of us know the person who has taken the time to come here and post a message. Perhaps they are overwhelmed by the technology - that doesn't make them stupid. We're all newbies once. Some people are lucky that they are great with gadgets and computers but that is not the norm at all. Most people I know in the real world do not understand how these things work.

So I guess I'll make myself unpopular with this post but that's ok as I've got a very tough skin. Being spiteful, sarcastic or poking fun at newbies does not give mobileread a good reputation. That's all.
Exactly, and karma and kudos to you, Kindleworm, for speaking up. I have reported the rude posts in this thread, and I am ashamed of y'all. This is not how we want Mobile Read to be perceived.
