318ti.org forum - why is 318ti.org Forum NOT a true forum...

Why is there a message board/forum if you are required to search previous posts for your answer.

Maybe people do not want to search for messages by keywords and have it take them 45 min before they find an answer that is close to what they are asking?

Why does it matter if someone asks the same ? It is a forum afterall and people should be able to ask what they want even if it has been asked before.

Yesterday a "moderator" , who will remain nameless (but if you do a search like he recommended) youll find it....unless he deletes all posts like mine (as he said he would - because I am asking a ? that waws already asked) I felt he was rude and talking down to me in a post because I wasnt at his level on 318ti parts....I feel just because I asked a ? I was not currently upto "speed" on, I was ridiculed and told to grow up because I got defensive after I got a cocky answer...sorry about this post but I feel as if you should be able to ask a ? when searching for help from 318ti.org from ti gurus who know more than you.

A person should be able to receive help in a kind manner instead of directed harshly back to you because you know less than them...this will be my last post in this forum because why would I want to post in a place that is ruled with a Dictatorship
