But another site. I get bated to answer questions, but never are the solutions considered. NO MORE! They could be drowning in stupidity, I shall not throw a life-ring.

I know when to shut up. I almost died of starvation as a child. I wouldn't tell my folks I was hungry.

I got on a site where the ladies were the most awful people. They constantly picked on anyone who didn't think exactly like they did. Didn't take me long to say adios and and find another, more friendly group. I don't need that type of people around me.

I think answering* questions is integral to having a worthwhile exchange** of info/opinions/etc.  [I also think that that puts me in a fairly small minority.]

* actually "answering" ... not just "replying/responding," or using it as an opening to tell me what you [the royal you] want me to hear or to impress me with how smart/accomplished you [the royal you] are.

** but I do concede that tossing insults [sadly] seems to be the default setting of a l-o-t of people ... thankfully it's not as pronounced in-person as it is online.

Oh I get it. If I had a nickel for every time someone says " for 750 years" to brag on their seniority.  My naked arse is out there on my YT channel. There's no hiding what I can and can't do or know.  There's far better. There's far worse. But I feel I put rubber on the road. It's not idle b.s. 

I don't know how many times I've crafted responses to where the server times out. It makes me wonder how these verbose folks respond with pages upon pages? Then there is A.I. isn't there? Makes it so obvious. 

No more. There's plenty more forums. Funny how the big bass forum broke down for awhile until the trolls found other bridges. Huge forum. 4 to 5 pages erupt before you can say huh?

If you need to type a long response, do it on Word Perfect or some such software, save it and then copy and paste it to your text. That way, the server can't time out.

Somebody posted a picture and said
"If you can count the squares, you're a genius"
I replied with
"I am too important to count the squares. Have some peasant do it for me."

I also hate where they say that, out of respect, they're not posting the details of some famous person's tragic childhood, or sad secret life, or horrible death, and offer "Details in the link below."
