As a "newbie" I'll just add that the major turnoff I've experienced on other forums is hostility and intolerance. (The one thing I can't tolerate is intolerance. LOL)

But I'll also note that if a post sounds like it was written by a kid, I tend to treat it as such. That may mean run, that may mean be "fatherly."

My bottom line is that we don't have the right to expect others to conform to our standards, at least in open forums such as this. I do not, however, think it's wrong to expect a little patience and courtesy.

Just the way I see it.

Wally
