I have to say that the whole elitist attitudes and hair triggers that predominate so many forums is a BIG reason why I lurk and don't post often.
Glad you're posting here FooBar and don't be a stranger, but I understand where you're coming from with the above, but in varying degrees it's the same on all fora.
Also, well done to AB for putting the list together of who has or hasn't got silicon titays, perhaps the most informative post he's ever made, so well done to FooBar for prizing it out of him.
Don't mind Jimbo, he's much nicer in real life. Online he has to contend with posting updates on a myriad of fora for his free advertising and doesn't have much time for intricate responses.
The vast majority of the nibbles on this forum are tongue-in-cheek, so it's safe to stop lurking
