    Wednesday and the board has two / three [ depends which day - time of day ] times the normal amount of people on it.

    A considerable number of which are previously unseen regulars of MSE who have never frequented this techie section / area of MSE.

    [Rant] I think I'll cut down on helping "post count 1" (or <10?) posters. Most of them are a bunch of unthankful people. They come here, dump their problem in the board and disappear. No feedback, let alone a click on the "Thanks" button... [/Rant]

    I started thanking the regulars for their helpful posts even though I'm not involved at all...

    Only one problem with these boards, how does a newbie tell the differance between industry-qualified, time-served posters & those who just 'think' they know about fixing problems just because they read an article in Micromart?
    I, for one, have qualifications that give me letters after my name (not that I'm self-centred enough to use them). I'm not the only one on here who can truely class themselves as an expert in one or more areas. However, there seams to be a large number of the helpful types who just repeat what others have posted in a vain effort to look usefull.
