Evidently there's a thing called netiquette. Forum manners are included within that.
For an example of forum netiquette, I discovered by researching forum etiquette online that ALL CAPS ARE CONSIDERED SCREAMING. Interesting. It does sound like SCREAMING when you read it.
Anyway, further consideration of various forms of forum etiquette, and since I don't want to flame anyone, I'll be vague. But sometimes I've read a retort post like the following, antagonizingly second-guessing an already difficult and personal decision that's already been explained in great detail: "SO, I can't help but wonder what it is about [insert whatever type] valves themselves that concern you."
And I always think, "Huh? What?" I would never think to ask such a question. Nor in such a challenging or condescending manner.
Afterall, we're all as different as snow flakes, as our fingerprints, as our DNA. And we all have different reasons for making our decisions.
Maybe there's a more polite way to word the question. Or maybe it doesn't need to be asked. Anyway, it bugs me.
Any thoughts? On any particular forum netiquette issue?
