Hi Martin,
While I fully understand your position, please take into account that the
design of these groups is for support of users having problems, not idle
chit-chat and comparisons. It is indeed fun to compare notes and share in
excitement, but it also tends to clog up a group with chatter that does not
offer help to those seeking assistance. In fact, it can detract from it and
unnecessarily tie up those trying to help, and those who might possibly have
advise to offer. Plus, those searching for assistance will not find answers
in the "my score's higher than yours" threads that inevitably result.
Just a note too that MVP's are not moderators, we are just users like
yourself that spend a lot of time here helping others. I hold no more sway
here than you do. Rather than it being a "slap on the wrist", my response
was to redirect the poster to a more appropriate forum and hopefully keep
the posts here more on track. Perhaps I could have stated it better or been
a bit more recalcitrant, but I have a habit of getting a bit short on
responses now and then. A failing on my part, but I am what I am. Thanks for
listening.
