I was indeed the person who made the comment, my internet skills being such that I have to sit back and learn the various etiquette of the various sites I frequent(my cleaning lady insists one day I shall be on facebook), so of course I was very, very confused to see a comment chastising one person for pulling out an old thread, only to find someone else doing so moments later, and then even more confusing I read the name and see it's the same person who did both. I was immensely perplexed to say the least.
Somewhat innocently, I thought being part of a forum was like watching TV or reading the newspaper; one instinctively ignores or does not read the parts which one finds irritating or uninteresting, bearing in mind of course the subjective nature of what constitutes an irritant, and so on & so forth. I see now that the policy of being a forum member is to read everything and then comment accordingly, siting everyone else as feeling the same as oneself whenever opportunity to do so presents it's self. I must suggest that finding out about the internet is no small task, but every day I learn more!
