Is it just me or......
Not having spent as much time on here as previously, I tend to catch up a bit 'en masse' and have noticed an interesting trend.....
Either new members are getting gobbier, or existing members are becoming less effusive to new members. So, which is it??? |

Re: Is it just me or......
I don't think it's changed that much...
it's all to do with the way the post is worded...but generally when it looks as if the poster has not taken the trouble to do a basic forum search or a simple google it is annoying... And recently there have been some people that seem to think that 'we' are here to answer all their questions pronto, and if we don't for some reason...they get arsy...which is never a good thing either on a forum or in the 'real' world... Thing is, everybody thinks their situation is unique... |

Re: Is it just me or......
just to add that not being British and therefore not having English as the mothertongue can add to the feeling someone being a bit off as well...
I know for a fact that I have had that problem when I first started posting on a mostely British forum...I am pleased to say that those days are well behind me now...you've all adepted quite well... |

I don't think it matters where you are from if you behave in a 'British' manner. You know, negative, sarky, no patience and the odd moan. ;) - |
