Years ago when I joined this list, I found it to be very supportive,
especially of newbies. There was very little slamming of anyone and
while the Mac versus PC opinions were out there, the wars had yet to
begin. Now it appears that some of the regular posters have no trouble
bashing anyone's post, even ones with legitimate tech questions. It
would be great if we could get back to computer
questions/solutions/discussions without the ridicule. The list has
been a great help in the past and hopefully it will continue in the
future.
Just my opinion,
