hahaha, your posts never fail to make me chuckle...
I give you points for trying and I can see you are slowly learning.
If you would like some advice though.... Stop the scaremongering, stop
the generalisations and incorrect information. Stick to specifics and
correct, verifiable information. In short, if you really want to be
helpful check your facts and information before dishing out instructions
to other people.
You may find people start to treat you all a little better.
