I ALWAYS whine about fractions. Well, math in general actually.

The square root of negative one?! Give me a break.




Oh, wait...you said INfractions. Sorry about that.

[Ho ho, do you know I'm just the same...I remember it so well I was doing fine, adding up easy, subtracting, no problem even multiplication I can recite the tables backwards.

Then they started with the fractions :sigh: and ALGEBRA? whatever can it all mean? logarithms [can't even spell it] I never understood them, I still don't.]

...ohhh INfractions...

What about doing things like finding out who posts in my threads and how many posts they make etc?

For instance, what facts can you tell me about this particular thread? What compiled information is there and how easy is it to search or manipulate?

I know how to do a thread search with, let's say my name and that I then can count that I've posted here twice, but what other forum search tools are there and do any of them give interesting information?

As a newb don't come across as adversarial, especially if your views run counter to those of the forum--that is unless you like being hazed severely. Review the forum rules.

You're talking about me, aren't you...

What are these "Views of the forum" that you speak of, anyway? I know the forum says its biased toward the "Christian Right" but that's an incredibly vague term in any case...

Also to any newbie or oldbie--don't prevaricate or obfuscate when debating.

Rand, I am not talking specifically about you, just in general terms.

Dont assume that every newbie is new to forum culture and needs to be schooled.

Dont assume that every newbie is new to forum culture and needs to be schooled.

If you don't heed to be schooled, you don't need to assume we are talking to you.

 

[WizardofOz]

- Try not to pick a fight with everyone on the forum.

If you don't heed to be schooled, you don't need to assume we are talking to you.

That was directed at people who mistakenly presume to teach those who dont need to be schooled. (Bolded and underlined the operative word for ya.)
