It's not that unusual for people to be out of touch for awhile, and it doesn't make them suddenly Web incompetent. I can still find my way around! Ha!
---------------------------------------------------------
I asked how she found this website because I was truly curious. I was running in and out yesterday and did not feel like taking the time to answer her question in depth. I figured someone else might.
I am sorry if I came off rude. As I said I am not the welcoming committee. I did not intend to come off rude. In my experience, it is not unusual on a message board for the first reponse to a question to be another question or tangentially related comment rather than an answer.
I certainly did not mean to suggest that she was web incompetent. I truly did not know if this site would come up in a web search. Her answer was a pleasant surprise.
Of course I was also suspicious that she may have come to stir things up, but I was then, as now, assuming the best.
I apologize for any real or perceived rudeness or lack of welcome.
I will point out that I am the one and only person who asked how she found the site, so, that should not lead to any broad conclusions about the members of common ground.

Ah poohlover...
(punches her on the shoulder, but not too hard)
fuggedabodit! I'm sure you didn't mean to come off as rude. I never took you as being rude anyway, but then again it would take more than a simple question to offend me.
Time has proven out that this stranger merely doesn't have any interest. How would you have felt if you'd dropped important matters to produce a summation of a James Michner (sp?) novel only to find out that the person wasn't all that interested in the first place?
The "Where did you get this link" is a valid question, but (to me) I don't really care how people got a link. I only care about how they comport themselves on a BB.
In real life, someone coming into a room and bringing up a question about an argument that happened 1/2 hour ago and has since died down (the the mutual agreement of all people in the room) is bad enough. But to barge into a room and INSIST that people re-hash the argument, then use psychology (Oh, I guess you guys DON'T know) is insulting.
For me the answer is clear: Tiggergirl has stated her priorities:
I am just not interested enough, nor do I have the time, to read the archives. Thanks anyway!
I am going to sign off and go do something I should have been doing, like finish painting my living room!
I propose we also keep our priorities straight and continue pursuing OUR lives as well. This was apparently a "smoke break" question and the person has returned from whence she came. I say write it off and keep on with our regularly scheduled programming.
As always, JMO.
