<HTML>Hi Jack,
As most of us here have never met before and many of us here don\'t know much about each other\'s background, so I really don\'t see any reasons why someone here would be intentionally hostile to you and have \"shots\" at you.
The first time I was here, what impressed me most, besides the demonstrated knowledge of the forum members, was the friendliness showed toward each other. People here are so ready to help that even if you ask a real basic question (may well be a \"silly\" one in your opinion), you will not be laughed at but get plenty of replies and help. Thus a warm feeling for this forum is instantly generated.
I have read somewhere that the relationship between people is just like looking into a mirror--how you treat others, you\'ll get the same treatment in return. Exactly! So if you find yourself receive Wabos constantly, it may be high time for you to check your Schussmeldung to see whether you have launched any topedoes to the others.
Regarding \"silly\" postings, after all, none of us are Saints, don\'t we all do something silly at some point!? Moreover, I guess different people will have different views as to whether a posting is \"silly\"--at least I don\'t think a message of self-introduction is a silly posting--thus you\'d better keep such opinion to yourself. If you do have the urge to speak it out, please say it in a manner that shows some basic respect to the others. I\'m sure that in this way, you\'ll be secured from depth-charges.
Best regards,
