When i read this post i was very surprised at the way you complain, i thought it was us British that were good at complaining :) You joined us on BDSM-life.com when we started our site back in January this year then decided you could do a better job than us and left to set your site up and we wish you luck.

We told you while you were a member of our site that to run a site using this Fantastic software took a certain amount of knowledge and experience and that you certainly needed a basic understanding see more of php, and running and maintaining a server and mail server to run it, something after reading your post you seem to have forgotten.

Web masters are still the technical brains behind any website and certainly the web masters i know are skilled in the basics at least, myself and my wife understand the basics and more and we find the software so easy to understand ourselves. This forum is so full of information and everyone here expects people installing and using this software to at least have a basic understanding of how it works and be willing to learn from others here and as long as you do, people will only be to happy to help you.

A lot of people that offer help here haven't got the time to hold someones hand and be their mother and as "Nucca" said and i quote

"Now bitch and complain all you want, I'm sure others will agree and some will disagree, but today isn't tomorrow, or yesterday, its TODAY! Get with it, or get OUT!"

If you want help here then i certainly wouldn't have posted a post such as this. All i see in the post is your assumptions of other people and not the truths that i have seen here for a start. Everyone we have spoken to on this site have only been to happy to help us, but then we understand as you say "the one-line US-communication style?" and with all your experience and knowledge that you claim you have on the Internet, then i would have expected you to have been able to understand the basics at least ;)

Welcome to the fantastic world of Open Source and we wish you well in your search for Dolphin enlightenment and with your site as you learn how to do the basics.

Good luck
