I didn't say you or anyone. Its just the impression I get from being on an ESL site.

Say if I logged on as a one-eyed, 78 year old female pensioner with a new found zest for computers but still very much a PC-idiot, I would be getting assistance in droves. Maybe its the age group I dunno.

True. I stand corrected. I guess it's like comparing apples to oranges here. You're right, this isn't a TRUE tech. forum.

Most regular posters here are quick to give advice, but there does seem to be a little clique that exists. I have always appreciated any help or insight even though I am not in that circle.

I like to just have a little tech with my esl discussion. I don't actually like the hardcore tech sites because I don't have the time to be up-to-date on everything. I like to read about standard normal problems...and I often have some advice. I am more polite in the tech forum than in the rest of the discussion groups (some know I am a bit of a jerk)...because the people usually are trying to help people for free and I often learn something new. I am not part of the in-group but still feel most people are doing their best to help out fellow ESL people...a simple thank-you would be payment enough if they have helped you.

Hmm...cliques and in-groups?

Well, I guess there are those that know and those that don't, just like any discipline, study or hobby group. I don't see a lot of condescension or talking down to in this forum, but then, maybe I am the one doing it unknowingly and if so, unintentionally.

Anyhow, the bottom line is that this is an EFL forum with a tech add-on. Its cool that we have regulars here who all have diverse interests in the sub-groupings of tech, and that makes it quite well-rounded.


Group hug ladies. Except the conning tart.

So wait a minute, I'm confused. You complain that there is an "in-group" and people who want to join have problems b/c we're apparently selective in offering "membership." But also you say that a 78 year old woman would have no problem being "allowed to join" or get lots of assistance?

OK.

I haven't noticed any talking down on here, except maybe a few posts here and there when people start with Mac vs. PC stuff. Maybe I, like demo, just don't notice it b/c it's me!

Don't know. But I think this is a mighty fine little tech forum for what we need. Anyone on the site could post a problem here or ask a question and probably get at least a few competent and good answers. What else could we need?

I love the tech forum.

I've never felt talked down to, even though I have to get on the internets to look up half the terms I read here on The Google.

Easily the best forum on Dave's.
