why do we have to keep fielding the same questions on where they can post from the five percent who seem to either be too stupid to look around and read the directions or think that they are so special that they deserve preferential treatment.
Hi doug444,
No, no, no--that absolutely
was my fault, 100%. No mas. I didn't study the rules before re-registering and I should have.

Preferential treatment is in fact a big thing here in the Village. BUT - guess what? YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELF WORTHY OF IT. You don't do that by coming in and asking questions that the vast majority of people have no trouble figuring out.
I neither expect nor seek any preferential treatment; I really am just a lurker sort. My quip about "newbies" really wasn't intended as anything more than a quip: if it became more than that in mods' minds, I'm certainly sorry for that.

Seriously, if you REALLY think that the management around here is so stupid that they will require you to make five posts and then not leave you somewhere to put them, have a good hard think about if this is the board for you to be on, because if that's what you think of us, I'm not too sure we want you here either.
Right--that's 100% legitimate. Just to clarify, though,
in no way do I or did I ever believe anything so snooty and snotty about you guys; had I, I would not have re-registered after the bot-cleansing purge. It really was a simple matter of me not knowing where else to post besides the introductions thread because I didn't think to read the rules first (which, I realize, is a constant problem on web forums). That's all it was.
