Welcome to the forum ThinkAboutIt. A suggestion, ignore the computer greeks we have here, LOL. They would consist mostly of McCulloch, Otseng, and a few select others who know way too much about them. LOL. A humorous welcome and looking forward to see what you might add to the forum.

Confused might think that I am a computer geek (I do list JavaScript and CSharp as second languages), but I have never actually used the chat rooms. This is a debating site, and I feel that debate is better when we take the time to formulate our points rather than work in real time. I could be wrong or I could just be slow.ThinkAboutIt wrote:im having a hard time just finding out how to reply to the messages lol, please forgive my lack of computer skills. i think i figured out how to reply now anyhow. thanks for the welcome by the way. can anyone tell me how i can join 1 of the chat rooms? i clicked on channels and found a list but wasn't able to click on any of them to join either
Anyway, welcome. We'll get along just fine as long as you know the difference between there and their and know where to put an apostrophe.
