Yeah, I'd never used it, on any forum. But on an RV forum with light traffic, I decided to try it, because there are SOOO damn many sub-forums with just a message or two. So then I decided to try it here, and unfortunately read this crap which I'd avoided opening at all, considering the OP. Lesson learned.
I'd make a "your mom" joke now, but then, that would be, you know, kind of creepy.
