My thoughts exactly.
Also he felt the need to come HERE to advertise.

It's no different to many groups. There is only so much tech talk that can
occur befroe it becomes repetitive. So it evolves into discussions which
evolve into disagreements. To avoid the nasty bitch-fights that can and do
occur some chose to instead get into friendly banter and chatter so as to
remain in the group and garner the occasional sliver of helpful information
that they've not already aquired

I've participated in another group for the past seven years. As a result
I've made many lasting friendships and have frequently travelled
internationally to meet with many of those friends that I would never have
known existed had I not participated.

I'm happy for folk to vent if that's what spins their wheels and maybe I'll
vent back if I feel so inclined but mostly I'll just clock in each day,
gather what I can, offer what I can and enjoy the company until it gets such
that I'm unwelcome or something more interesting enters my life
