I agree with some others that it's foolish to stereotype a group based on one person's actions or ideas, especially one on an anonymous message board, but I also know that how I regard groups is at least somewhat based on the people who I know in the group and how they act. Why chance the impression you're making of you and your group, over someone's reaction to the advice you gave? People will find out soon enough whether you know of what you speak. That's all I meant originally.
Just a heads up: I suspect that this might get ugly/uglier because Tom has joined the thread. I'm not trying to make you shut up, but I'd just let it go, unless you just want dramatic and hostile back and forth over not much.

Hostile towards me or other GC-ers...I don't really understand what he posted, the sentences don't make sense. But I've seen enough signatures that include his name to know that I don't want any part in the battle between him and others. Theres already enough drama/hostility over nothing in this thread.
