My favorite part about being on forums IS the people I get to meet that I would otherwise never have had a chance to get to know. One of my favorite feelings is knowing my small voice on the net MAY make someone feel better - or enlighten them ...
I remember being a newbie. The board I joined 3 years ago didn't offer the help that people offer here....I was SO lost and remember asking for help cause I had never heard of 'An Avatar" and the person who responded was like - "Uh....it's a small picture under your name". Well - duh  I found THAT info on the net....but I
WANTED one !!! Did they offer to help ? Nope. Did anyone else respond ....Nope.
Did I feel like a moron ? Yup.  (Result of that experience ...I taught myself how to make my own so I would never have to ask for help again - Which is why I make them now for anyone who asks) Mindless ??? Yes - but I get satisfaction that I will never make anyone feel as stupid as I did when I was new.
Anyway I guess my point is ......no matter HOW MANY TIMES We see a thread repeated - there is someone on the other end who has NEVER seen it....they're the ones I think of when I see the same things over and over. |
I agree and just because we stay home doesn't mean we aren't working harder than those who leaxve the house daily!
