First of all - deleting a discussion that deals with how the "barons" behave and treat newcomers, is imo not very democratic and could be compared to pissing in your pants. Its warm in the beginning but thereafter its not very pleasant. In other words - you can erase from now on till new years eve, but it doesn´t change the fact that some people on this forum are treating newcomers like shit.
In DW´s case. he sighs when someones ask a Q - and he doesn´t apologize....

Would you like it if someone shook their head everytime YOU made an enquery?
... and yes... it used to be a friendly place... apparently its not... still you learn how to get along even in a hostile environment... Luckily there are plenty who wil take their time to help us newcomers... ... the barons... will just be ignored... i hope....
also... I don´t expect you to answer this, as you - apparantly - are somewhat biased...
I find your lack of faith, disturbing...
