I would suggest you stay away from the 'introduce myself' thread.

Its not about too much time on my hands......its about making a concerted effort to welcome newbies, and try to make this site more comfortable for them.

You may know all there is to know about it, but many do not. Ebook readers are still very new to many, and help is always appreciated.

And if you don't watch out she'll pull out her STICK!!!!

Yeah, and I'm not going to stop welcoming people wherever they decide to put their first post, either, so there~~

Well that says it all Maturity level is perhaps a tad low.
Being over 60 I am/was quite terrified of the big stick at one time.

And perhaps I was annoyed at desertgrandma repetitive boring posts due to some disparaging techno-geek remarks she made. Mea culpa.
I was mistakenly thinking this was a techno geek forum and not a social networking group like facebook.

I wish to apologise in advance for the following statement as I am sure it will annoy you.
If it looks like spam it is spam. If it is repeated again and again with no change in meaning it is spam
Welcome whoever you want but saying that you are sure someone will be along soon to help is just annoying, redundant and implies that you are arranging for these people to come along and help.
Intentional or not, you give the impression that you are the originator, moderator and overseer of these forums and other than being a friendly sort of gal with way too much time on her hands I don't see that you qualify. Not that I qualify either.

issues much? that is one of the snarkiest most undeserving posts I have ever read. you say you have some maturity, what happened to; "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!"? in this day and age when most folks would just as soon dump on you as help you, you decide to dump on a helper!? I've wondered why we were going to hell in a hand basket. people like you have been doing the parenting.

just move on down the road and find your little geeky place

Oh dear, we are full of it aren't we?

Firstly, what does age have to do with anything regarding welcoming and making people feel at home on MR? At your age I would have thought that you would have known better (since you state that you are 60yrs of age - age wise I outrank you.)

DG does on MR what a lot of us should do, but don't.
I for one am very grateful.

Methinks that there is a touch of jealousy in that little show which you have just put on. Believe me, the only one that you have disparaged is - yourself.

Socially, I would make a point of avoiding you and your ilk.

No cheers today.

Atta girl.

I like people that speak up. Whatever and young age is always a good excuse. Just over sixty is nothing.

i am so sorry KK that i am not perfectly in line with your directives.
In the future you could provide me with more explicit instructions on when, how and what to post. May be it would be better if before posting I submit to your approval my intentions.

would that be acceptable?
