I agree that the creators post should be read. The replys should be read also. However some interesting and useful information is often presented in the mistaken or off topic replys.

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

You pretty much have to as many seem "descriptively challenged" when attempting to create an accurate title for their thread.

I've posted a reply to what I thought was the last relpy, and found that I was still a page from the end. I've heard it said that I'm a page off! That's what nice about these forums, you can mess up and nobody gets killed. Well, just an ego or two sometimes. So the old addage "buyer beware", applies. OH, we aren't paying for it. Then watch out, free might not be worth it. What site am I at, anyway? True, a game is usually more fun if most stick to the rules most of the time. So as a guy on the radio says "lighten up and live". Have fun TRAINing. FDM

I do that, too, if for no other reason than to see how many spelling mistakes one can incorporate in the "average" sentence. [}:)][}:)][:D][:D]

Some people read the subject line and assume they know what the deal is. But you should really read what the starter of the topic says before you post a message there! You might get a more thorough explaination of what the creater of the topic is talking about. [swg] [:)][:)][:)]

Gooday.
