Indeed! One of the hallmarks of this group (and the TiddlyWiki Community in general), is that we are a helpful bunch. The purpose in answering questions is to make people successful when using TiddlyWiki. No matter how simple the question (or how seemingly obvious the solution), a positive, practical response is essential. I have been moderating this group for 10 years... and there's only been a handful of instances where people (mostly noobs) have been snarky in their response to a simple question... and I promptly blocked or deleted those posts, and sent a private message to advise the contributor to change their tone. Most of the time, the person apologized (sometimes publicly) and there was only ONE instance where they argued with me that they had a right to be rude to other people because "this is the internet, get used to it". So I banned them... easy as that. The result: a forum with a reputation for being "nice, friendly, and helpful", where people can jump right in and ask questions without risk of being ridiculed. If only the rest of the internet shared the same attitude... imagine how amazing it would be! enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyWiki Classic Lead Developer TiddlyWiki Google Groups Moderator TiddlyTools: "Small Tools for Big Ideas" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
