How am I learning her?

I know this is an open forum here.

I thought that knowledge can be shared to enhance everyone.

So why the stupid pictures and mundane comments that do nothing except to boost thread count.

I look for wisdom here not childness words.

Question come here that deserve an intelligent response.

Our hobby needs more wisdom, education and expansion of our knowledge.

Yes, I am an old coot that has less time for stupid stuff.

    I'll give you a little benefit of the doubt because you are in your 90s (if I remember correctly?). You are doing well.

    The stupid pictures and jokes are because this is the Internet. That's what the Internet does and it's fun and funny. If it's not to your taste, either ignore them or go to a library.

    The various sarcastic and cutting comments are for the rafts of newbies and alts who live in fantasy land and ask questions and refuse to accept the answers. They behave like spoiled children and get treated as such.

    Also, these various comments and pictures don't just boost post count. No one cares about post count, it's irrelevant. Those posts slap the wrists of those with bad attitude and provide entertainment for the rest while we wait for something worthwhile.

    As mentioned earlier, I think you're doing well..but grow a thicker skin if you are going to be on the Internet.

    I think the only people who care about post count are the people accusing others of caring about post count.

    Actually this forum is pretty good as far as ratio to real info vs trolls....

    If you want REAL entertainment with a minimum of actual useful knowledge go take a look at Facebook or Reddit....

    Philately will get you nowhere....

    Apply the same learning techniques as you employed while you were sitting with others distracting you in a classroom. I regret that you do not enjoy yourself with us.

    I believe most of us would like to see more informative, intelligent posts. I will admit, though that I enjoy a little harmless and amusing OT banter.

    When you ask good questions here...the answers are even gooder.

    Sometimes along with a bit of hilarity wit and wisdom, occasionally with a taste of curmudgeon and a sprinkle of indifference (even thought they took the time to respond to us here on the interwebs).

    Maybe I am not as smart as I thought, and no disrespect to anyone, but what's the learning her? is it supposed to be learning here?
    Sorry for the stupid question

    Yes, "learning here" was what he was trying to say.

    Yet he refuses (or doesn't know how?) to edit his title.

    I think, IIRC, that he is a fairly senior citizen. He also is maybe mad at us for pulling the same stuff on his thread that upset him on the other threads.

    He’s way smarter than me… I’m basically here to steal everyone’s wisdom. 😆😜
