If you read my original post on the matter, you'd see I was merely pointing out my observations based on the various internet forums & message boards I visit/have visited - I never said whether it was right or wrong for this to be the case, whether I agreed or disagreed with it, that I knew why this happened the case, or anything else like that.Never, hm?
You don't need mods to tell you that you shouldn't post in outdated threads anyway - surely your own common sense should be enough?and,
As I said, it's simply considered good netiquette. You don't usually go to a posh dinner party and ask your hosts why it's considered good etiquette to eat your meal with the cutlery provided rather than your hands, do you?I got the idea that you agreed with the rule in question. Why I thought that is a great mystery, I daresay.

..My point was that just as you should know what is typically expected of you in polite society, you should know what's typically expected of you on internet message boards. Obviously you can feel free to go against the preconcieved expectations, just don't be suprised if you get flamed or even banned for it.You're willfully ignoring the question.
