All noobs, whose 1st post is a blog post, get 'the treatment'.
It could have been worst, you were not identified as a 'troll' and 'zotted' back to who-knows-where.
I don't speak for the boss, but Welcome Aboard.
PS. ...I even checked out your blog. :)
Thank you! I can understand someone dropping in like an alien ... I'm definitely not a troll. Honestly, I had never hear of blog pimping, that is pretty funny but I understand it is not the way these forums are meant to work. I developed software for 25 years but I know next to nothing about all the rules at these community sites.
My son is a real geek but I can't ask him for help and tell him I have started to spend time online because I am on his case to limit his internet use. He knows some people online who live alone and don't have any human contacts. This is like Las Vegas - something happening all the time so when do you stop? My son has friends in Japan and he is fluent in Japanese and he hangs out with them and with his family and friends in Finland and in USA, so he could go on 24 /7. That scares me. I know people can get addicted.
