Let us look at my very first post on FT (was on AA), 3 years back -- link here. See who replied ? It is the now persona non grata He-who-shall-not-be-named-or-else-thread-will-be-deleted.

Let us take my 2nd thread -- this time on the MR forum. Again, notice the replies. Also notice how helpful they were to every serious question I asked. :-:

You get out of FT (and also life but that's a different discussion ), as much as you put into it. Ask a stupid question, and get a nasty reply. Show that you respect others' time/efforts, and get some back in return.
