I keep investigating new ways to connect; the Tether is a good example, but I am limited to 5GB per month with that...And GB will suspend my account [again!] if I use it on their site...



Sorry...It was my feeble attempt at humor...

Edit: Here's an interesting thread on the webmaster's forum about percentage of users still on dial-up and why...

http://www.webmasterworld.com/webmaster/4087174.htm

It's still not clear how many aren't on broadband connections (or can't get it) or where these numbers come from...Is it 35% of the general population??? 35% of telephone users??? Or 35% of the surveyed households extrapolated to the general populace???

I understand

On this forum it is not a big deal, on Jan's forum, he wants all members to have state or if out of the USA their country. I have been tempted more than once to ban (temp) everyone who insists on putting in USA

Sometimes I just want to be bad and play by the rules, weird I know ....

To be frank, I sometimes wonder why you don't smack down the more annoying posters here...(besides me, I mean)...

There's not a day go by that a question isn't asked that would take maybe 15 seconds tops by reading the FAQ...

And there seems to be only a few of us able to use the Search function...

And no matter how many times it is mentioned, even long time users persist in linking pics via PhotoBucket/SmugMug/TinyPic/Google...Even though they know that the very people that could answer their questions can't see them while at work...

And real names and locations [Guilty!] seem to be something new members feel is unnecessary invasion of privacy...

I'm sure there are other annoyances that I've missed...And I'm guilty sometimes too...(Like discussions in the For Sale forum)...

Who can think of some I've missed???

(Excuse me while I check my profile at Jan's to see what I filled in...)

Ah! It's OK, but I updated my work history...BTW, I'm 'sonnyboy' over there...
