as you are all aware, i have been posting in here since boonex revamped the site and also since they posted the rules for the use of this site. we all agreed to the rules when we signed up so this should not be new to anybody with a login name and password. i do not intend to come across crass or indignant, but what i would like to see happen is that those who are unfamiliar with the etiquette of posting in a blog. so i took the liberty to ask my friend "google" to define:blog for me. it was no surprise what i got as a return. here is it for those of you who need to understand. those of you who know, and choose to continue to post in the blog what should be posted in the forum, you are a sad character.

    I think i have a post exactly like this! heh definition of a blog day 2
    DosDawg
    mrpowless,
    its annoying to know that they get that splash page in their face, and still choose to post issues that should be in the forum on the blog. i dig blogging, been doing it from way back when you used CLI to post, so it just gets me that these guys have a GUI and cant seem to get it figured out.

    later,
    DosDawg
    sammie
    i think its a case of do not reply to any of them if it should be in the forum and give them a thumbs down
    DosDawg
    i tried that, but there are a few who just refuse to even just poin them in the right direction. i tried that approach and got scolded. so i thought i would post the definition of a blog. but good idea sammie.

    later,

    Hey dawg I see you are still on your quest. Any chance some of these folks can't read or cant read english. Probably not but it was just a thought. Probably more used to the warning that we all hate to read and don't really read, so we just click next or ok when signing up maybe.

    Maybe a reminder of what they agreed to when they clicked next or ok is a thought. Unless you already covered this as well.
