I am not familiar with internet discussions other than this group. I am amazed at the carelessness of the dialogue. I could never talk with an acquaintance with the tone and egging on that has occurred here. It has the emotion of a prelude to a fist fight.
I have been to only one meeting, but I can?t imagine how this kind of conversation is conducive to a support group. I hope Allan doesn?t unsubscribe because his understanding of the Mac has added to my knowledge. I appreciated the first responses to ?Al Gore invented the internet.? Discussion of web sites and their validity is useful to me as a novice. The statement was repeated so many times during the campaign, I never knew its basis although everyone understood it was to demean. I appreciated gaining a resource to check out the sound bites.
