I have to say that this group encourages not only exploration, but EXTREME
exploration, I asked the list for help with my "Klingon Paintball" concept,
and had LOTS of help. When I first started reading the list, I got into a
quick little tiff with one person, and it was over mis-understanding, and me
jumping to conclusions. I've been reading the list for QUITE sometime now
(along with practicing tlhIngan-Hol) and I continue to ask very basic
questions, aside from a little ribbing from people I have become more
familiar with, every question is answered quickly and without any
"attitude" from anyone.
Basically, I think that you seem a little mad, and I think you're mad
because you took something in a way that it wasn't meant, you might want to
re-read some of the messages..
