and by the powers-that-be for being "mean" and "curmudgeonly" and the like. Many of us have had enough already.
But I hope you can find what you want on CC. Good luck!
Being one of the newbies whose first reaction to FT was "Blimey I feel like I have just put my hand in a bucket full of angry hornets who are being attacked by an army of scorpions" its taken me a little while to understand how the forum works and what the dynamics and expectations of members are.
When I first joined and had that reaction I then reflected on another forum that I have been a member of for the past 5ish years and a supermod on and was reminded how snippy I get when someone jumps into an eastablished group who have communicated for a long and then .....es that the oldbies dont play nice with the n00bs.
What I am finding now is that if you have expended a modicum of effort to research your issue first, had a look on the AA site and make an effort to use appopiate speeling: grammer then the oldbies have been generally pretty helpful.
Just sharing a few thoughts on the curmugeonliness.
