I saw "moss" had made a moderate number of postings, and jumped to the conclusion that he was a established member and therefore in some way representative of the attitude of this forum.

Clearly he is not.

I'm sorry if my depature was curt, but I thought that I had found yet another potentially enjoyable chat forum ruined by that intellectual hauteur, nitpicking and antagonism people like "moss" seem to relish in.

I was wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the situation with "moss" to me.
