"You never get a second chance to make a first impression". Once you're around RCU long enough, you'll realize that the people who are kind and honestly try to help are the ones that end up getting good honest info from the other members. You will also notice that it's generally the same select few people that always end up getting in flame wars. What do those people get for their efforts? They attract others just like them and end up getting in to these long, drawn out "name calling sessions" that take away from the quality of the board.
Honestly people, if you don't like a post somebody puts up or you think it's a stupid question, hit the back button and move on. It's that simple. Nobody comes here because they want to be called "stupid" or because they want to be belittled by others. the only stupid question is a question not asked. What may be common sense to you may not be to others. Don't hold it against them for not knowing something you know. This is supposed to be fun. Lets make an effort to keep it that way.
Just a thought.
Oh yeah, just so nobody sticks it to me for putting this in the MT section. How about that XTM Mammoth! Looks like a real performer.
