Chats are at the same time/day every single time and every single time MA puts up an announcement, there are posts asking what time that is where they live, so you can understand the frustration. MA has tried in the past to figure it out for those who seem incapable of doing it for themselves. Google is a good solution. YOU know where you live and what time it is there, so if you wish to come to chat, figure out when it is and join us. Why do you believe MA or your fellow posters should have to hand-feed you that info? We know what time it is where we are and we figure it out from there. Is it too much to ask you to do the same? And now we're being asked to figure out international time zones too? Sorry, but we have lives too outside of this board...

There has been an influx of 'help me' posts to the board lately and it's getting a little old to be constantly asked to resolve the IT, time, IP, etc. questions we are being asked on a near-daily basis. Especially since we are now being asked to figure out global internet issues! We are posters just like you are. We shouldn't be asked to provide you with knowledge you should be able to find for yourself through a little clicking with your mouse!

A little courtesy is in order, people! Show a little respect for your fellow posters and THINK before you post. Thank you.

Carolyn...I dont beleive I deserve this from YOU...I was just asking a simple question...I wont bother with this anymore...I know WE all have lives outside this board but you dont have to put this up on this board for everyone to see.....this was uncalled for with my name on it......I dont think I did anything wrong here....sorry I asked a simple question!

While yes it was a "simple" question, it was a question that you could have easily figured out for yourself. But instead of thinking it through or googling, you asked someone else to do the work for you. It should have taken you less than a minute to figure it out.

I'm in total agreement with Carolyn on this point - your fellow posters are not here to handle every IT, time, weird website question people have. If there is an issue HERE, I can handle it. But when it's youtube or ABC or some other place, we're not here to hold your hands. Figure it out yourself!!!

Maybe I'm just bitchy today but the "neediness" has gotten out of hand. I need to nip it in the bud.

I am done with this I guess I am getting the blunt of your "bitchy" as you say. I guess you and Carolyn had to take this and answer me on the board instead of emailing me about it...thanks!

I wont be posting anything anymore cause of what has happen here today....thanks for embarrassing me on the board and making me feel like a fool.

I can't believe that's all it will take to make you leave. Whatever.... I won't beg you to stay or try and make you change your mind. As I said before - we're all big girls and boys that can make life choices for ourselves.

Even if I had your e-mail address, I would have posted these responses. They weren't directed just at you. Honestly - you were the straw that broke the camel's back. It's not just you. This past two weeks have been FULL of posters whining about stuff, asking for things, wanting people to do everything for them. I got sick of it. And obviously others have as well.

MA, the post I am talking about had my name on it...thats all I have to say.....I understand about all the rest of it but you know when there is a post with your name on it and it has all this stuff put into it...the post should of had a different title to it MA, thats all! Sorry for creating a problem here on the board!!! I didnt say I was leaving this board, I will still come here to read about my favorite couple, without a doubt but I think I will be a lurker for awhile......

Bo and Nora FOREVER

I'm sorry you're insulted but it was YOUR question that prompted my response - not that you're alone but you can't figure the time from CA to MN? Seriously? And that's not asking to hold your hand? Really?

I stand by my point - the purpose of this board is to post about B/N, not to solve everyone's IT, time zone, 'I can't see the show here fast enough', I need clips up NOW, etc. issues. If it's asking too much of you to think before you post - and not DEMAND things of your fellow posters - then maybe this isn't the board for you - that goes for ALL the newbies who seem to think we exist to serve them. I understand there are other B/N boards out there. Perhaps they would be happy to cater to you. See ya!

Carolyn, just leave this alone OK? You have made your point and now let's just move on...no need to carry this on anymore.....like you said this is a Bo and Nora board just leave it at!

Enough said here for me, please!

Someone who has been here a lot longer than you and at least has the guts to use my own name. If you don't like what I say, don't read it.

Ok, everyone just chill!
Carolyn has a point, you may not like they she put it, but she makes a good point.
The people who run this board do a fantastic job, but they are not here to serve us. And they should not be expected to answer questions that you can figure out yourself. This is Bo and Nora board, not tech a help board.

P.S. Carolyn are you a computer tech, because I am one, and you sound just like me. LOL
