Well man thanks for making me laugh. Your spelling is attrocious that's the only reason why you posted this... unless however you were attempting to make a point. If you were attempting to make a point of some sort, I'm insulted that you felt the need to use bad spelling to emphasize it, yet I also find humour in your post because you just showed yourself to be a complete moron. If you want someone to listen to you and respect you, you must present yourself with higher esteem than they do. You must never lower yourself to their level. Yet you didn't do that. You showed yourself to lack intelligence. You raised an argument that all newbies raise, yet you did it in a very lowbrow way. You stated yourself, if you post a reasonable question, you get a positive reply. If you are unable to post something reasonable, why should we feel the need to help you. Don't look at it so much as an attack, but as a group lecture. The same lecture you would receive from a parent, principal, or another of similar authority. We are a community for the members by the members (although Jupiter Media doesn't always see it that way) and we're here to help. We don't, however, have to deal with insults, and lack of intelligence. If you have a problem with a way AO works, then I'd suggest you leave. You've been here less than a month and you feel you have the right to criticize us? I'm really starting to get sick of all the whining that goes on here. If you want our help and to be a member of this community then stick around and quit your bitching. If you are here to bitch and say things are unfair.... well I've got news for you life is unfair. I don't know who ever told you that you'd get a free ride and life was a bowl of cherries, but they lied to you. No matter where you go, you'll always find someone who knows more, and has more authority. You can't bitch at them, you'll never get anywhere in life. If your boss corrects you, are you goign to tell him to "F*** off!" because I doubt you'll get far if you do. AO is the same way, you won't get anywhere by telling us off. You seem to be the one who is deluded and ignorant to the ways of the real world. In the real world those who are higher up are in charge. I'm not saying it's like that here, but at times it'll be close. As for this whole conformist issue. Wh0a is all I have to say. I think here on AO you'll find the most rag tag group of individuals. Gore and I are somewhat similar... We're both punks, into computers and playing instruments and stuff like that. Yet the majority of this site varies. We have HS students of all ages, I know of a member who's I believe 14. We have at least one college professor and several college/university students. Administrators of large networks, tech support associates and programmers. We also have truck drivers, construction workers and who knows what else as members. We are all equals and obviously no one is making anyone comform. Women and Men, Married and Single, Young and Old. We are all here and we are a community. Conformity isn't part of the requirements to be a member, however we do ask that you stick to the legal side of things and make your writings legible. I don't believe that is too much to ask, and I don't think it is forcing conformity. If you want to come and talk like this "We hav 2 g0 d0wn to ur h0us t0 hax0r put3rs," then we don't want you around here.


Ok I'm done my rant...

Peace
