Again, that depends on who you exactly address, and whether you do this in public or in PM - not all people are the same.I guess I registered under the assumption Denial was indeed a respectful, fun, open-discussion VIC-20 forum where members support one another: versus sniping at one another, or it being a "moderated-something-else" -- a "mistake" I won't make again for sure where my posting is concerned.
Taking your time to grasp the general atmosphere in a forum before getting your feet wet is also a good idea.
