The world is a big and not-always-nice place, and so too goes the Net. There aren't a whole lotta places out here for would-be formatters to learn how to fix their books, so if they're going to bail out just because someone might sound a bit harsh...well. This forum and many of the subforums are fairly well moderated. While on occasion someone might be a bit enthusiastic in saying "why the hades did you do THAT," compared to most forums on the Net, I mean...come on. This is like comparing Kiddygarten to college, in terms of "derogatory or belittling" terms.
Sure, there are terms of art. That's why we have the wiki and the REST of the Internet. When I first started here, I too was intimidated but I didn't expect everyone else to lose their brain cells to explain things to me. If I didn't understand an answer, GASP!, I search-engined for info until I did.
You're saying that you're getting PMs, out of the blue, uninvited and unsolicited by you, from people that are seeking YOU out, because other posters are too mean??? Is that what I understand here?
