Some one from a different culture than the mainstream American culture so rampant here on the forum starts a thread here, asking a relatively simple question, which does impact the way business, hobbies, and information are transacted here, and to which perhaps most should pay rapt attention. The next time you get burned on a long distance deal, remember this- Nomenclature is important, especially when doing transactions with the written word. Ask any lawyer, they'll tell you the same thing. You might not like the fact that they are a lawyer, but they are right.
Those who teach here are mostly not professional teachers- just professional Dodge enthusiasts. If they are an un-pampered ass in their manner of speaking to an individual through the web, consistently, the masses won't listen to them. And if you are the one being chastised, just ignore it. There are greater slights out there to be concerned about.
For those with thin skin being oppressed, don't worry. After the whipping, skin grows thicker.
