That's civil enough. All I expect is civility, not respect. If you think I give generally useless advice, fine. I fully believe that people have been driven out by unfriendliness (for example, the person who started this thread) and maybe some of them first would have reported the comments had they known how to. A sticky about reporting posts is a reasonable request. I hope the standards set disallow the behavior I've been complaining about maybe a bit too loudly. Nobody has told me who the moderators are (i.e., if they routinely read the posts) and maybe moderators operate on sheer number of reports more than anything else.
