“I was trying to say that you should ‘respect’ the fact that they’re comfortable with the place “

My mistake, I misunderstood.

Yes, as a software designer... the interface that is most efficient usually has a higher learning curve.

Often it can be good to have an “intutive” interface to make the sale, and then an efficient interface for folks who know what they are doing.

If we get the lurkers to register & make just ONE post... and maybe if we do not pour gasoline on them... maybe more will stick around.

If that is what we want....

One promising thing about you: You stuck around and participated in the thread you started.

That’s a step in the right direction. Participating in other threads, I doubt if anyone will even notice, most of the time, that you’re new.

Hang in there! ;-D

There used to be a thread called, “HTML Bootcamp” that would pop up from time to time. Basic HTML commands were posted to encourage intimidated lurkers to register and post. I’ll do a search to see if one’s been done lately...

I've found the 3 easiest ways to gain respect on FR and fit in without upsetting anyone are best described in 3 phrases of 3 words each:

1) Support Mitt Romney

2) Quote Alex Jones

3) Pimp your blog

Try it, you'll see.

Smiling takes 6.

Here's one from 2003. It'll give you the general idea.

I'm not as involved as I used to be here, so if someone is currently doing something similar, speak up!

I won’t let you down.

I’ve got some insight, I can admit mistakes once I see them, I’ve been around the block...I can connect the dots, some people eventually learn to decode my odd humor...

I’ve left comments on other threads in case anyone wants to see me being more civil that I’ve been here. But hey - they started it! jk

Do we want to keep more visitors, or not?

We? Have you donated?

I see your colors up now.

Some of the best material and amusement are peoples about page.

Some are still blank since 1998 or so, but they are the old timers.
