You see, there are many of us who did not grow up in the computer age, and when you have to learn what is thrust upon you, it is different than slowly adjusting to a new technology. How many of you can drive a stick shift? I mean naturally, not "just manage" to do it? And in terms of what we discuss here, how many have come to bondage over the years vs having a partner who is just now coming to it, maybe reluctantly. How understanding are you of that person?????
Aaaaah, that makes sense!
It is a good example of the problems with written communication. No context and no visual cues (body language and knowing who's talking).
Not knowing the context, your original post really did scream "lazy juvenile".
On a forum uncommented external links or "missing links" are normally a sure sign of "not taking other people's time serious".
Had you written something along the lines of: "I found this video on youtube with XXXXX. How do I give a link to it? (Heck, I'm well past 70!)", then I don't think anyone would have been hard on you.
(And if they had, it would have been bad behaviour and Jenny and I would have buried them under a rain of whips and plungers)
..... when that is said, any 18 year old around here learns to drive with a manual transmission. Automatic transmissions are still considered a luxury for the lazy rich and/or multitaskingly challenged.
(And it is considered entertaining that North Americans can't handle them)
Wearing the moderator hat, I'll move the thread to "Everything else", since it is not really about a "True story".
