i have learned a lot from the responses in this thread and even from the fact that it has now been deemed off-topic.

cheers.

The reason I mentioned OFF TOPIC is because General Discussion is for talking about "Yorkies". This thread was started for the sole purpose of one person to voice her "opinion" about YT after being on here for a year.

The reason I quoted your last post is because I feel like you're starting to get condescending. Please don't come on here telling us about standard writing practices when you can't even capitalize the first word in your sentences.

Bottom line is - this is a huge forum. No one is going to agree with everyone all the time. If you don't like what you're reading, hit the ignore button, contact admin, skip over that post or just move on to another thread.

Yes, some comments may seem to be harsh but that's life - on or off this forum. You have to remember how long some of these members have been here and how many questions they have answered. Sometimes it just happens.

I, for one, am thankful for finding YT. This forum has some of the most caring and knowledgable people I know. I can't even begin to say how much I've learned here. I hope you'll feel that way one day.
