There was no reason to be so condescending from anyone, for you posting here. There are plenty of experienced posters in this forum that will see their posts moved, n someone else. You should not have been talked too/treated like that...
While I don't, as a what 1 post noob, do not wish to get into an on going debate among board vet's, I was / am grateful that the person who replied gave me the info I was looking for, and the answer was timely.
Compare that to posts, not necessarily here, that get no replies from anyone and I'll take an answer anyway someone with more experience in the game, or at the board I post to, is willing to give.
I answered the question as if it were not rhetorical, because how I decided which board to post to was still fresh in my mind and I figured that if it were a real problem that description might help admin in addressing the issue. I really appreciate this site, the mods, and the info on the forums, though I obviously have little to contribute, I wanted to do what I could.

Oh, I'm sorry if I came of harsh!
I do realize there are a lot of threads and stuff on here, so it's hard to find the correct place to post. It's just that lately it seems like a lot of people just don't look good enough, even though from your reaction i can clearly see that you did look hard enough. And there is a sticky here, explaining what Anecdote Assistance is for ("What Anecdote Assistance is for.").
So yeah, I'm sorry if I sounded mean, it wasn't my intention, but I guess it came off like that because I already was a bit irritated.
I'm glad you found your solution though. ^^

It's not really so much a debate, both the ladies that posted to you have always been extremely helpful to the new people. Both are very friendly. I think that's why I was kinda shocked to see that. But, we also have to remember there are some that do accidently post in the wrong thread. Or don't realize a question has been asked over and over.

Thank you for the help, and for all the replies, a sure sign of a healthy community.
I did not feel your post was "harsh", I thought of it more in the "gentle" reminder category, and I did not read the sticky as I should have, and I know better then that, but I was frustrated, etc.
OTOH, I also appreciated where PegasusDiana was coming from so I didn't want to undercut her by saying that before, because "gentle" to me may be "harsh" to someone else. Plus there is the "have no pity on the newbie fool who gets between 2 board vets", rule.
When I started on the Net our major protocols were Telnet & Usenet, I was playing MUDs on Compuserv, Delphi, Genie and even Prodigy for awhile, and I'm a survivor of the Derek Smart flame wars, among others, may the gods of the Net not cast fire down on my unworthy head for invoking that name. So, what I define as "harsh" is likely not printable on this board.
Thanks again, between Insim and MtS I've had a real blast playing, as my daughter likes to remind me, with dolls!
