I know I am repeating myself but maybe I didn't SHOUT LOUDLY ENOUGH before <g>. Why would a newbie (are there really any left?) who wanders into a forum named Chatter be surprised to see more chatter than tech content? Personally I would be surprised if it was the other way around.

>I understand that, but a newbie wandering in here may not realize it's chatter or see more chatter than tech content and feel it isn't worth their time. Additionally, many of the negative posts are in the technical sections.

>>I was only responding to the part of your post about chatter threads "cluttering up" the forum and outnumbering threads with technical content. It's a chatter forum. Anyone who wants just, or primarily, technical content should visit the VFP, .NET, etc. forums.
