Sorry RAZD, nothing short of a personal visitation from God could stop me from posting snide comments, and probably not even that.
I think a visitation from God would guarantee a snide reply from you.
It would certainly tap the vast life-time store of snark I've set aside for that eventuality.
Frankly, I don't see dog-piling as a problem here. My recollection is that most newbies are advised fairly soon to take their time, make a general reply to the salient points from multiple posters, etc.
Truly rabid dog-piling only occurs here when someone arrives, loins pre-girded, determined to show you, show you all with lame rehashes of material seen a thousand times: that's true on any long established forum, and it ought to be. I lurked here for weeks before registering and participating; any newbie with much to contribute will scout the ground before joining the fray. If they don't, they earn a free educational experience.
