Re: The Patriarch-pupil

I should add, I realise it was possibly a mistake to jump into the discussion with a declaration that I don't usually do online forums. Probably came across in entirely the wrong way, and might have skewed the attitude of some people's responses - apologies there.

That said, avoiding online discussions because dealing with misunderstanding, pedantry and such like take up too much time for it to be worthwhile is an attitude that is generally understood among my friends, even if they themselves don't agree with it and spend loads of time online. It's not seen as some form of snobbery, just a valid, if debatable opinion.

Plus, in my experience of participating in discussion lists, I've personally always cut newbies a bit of slack as a rule, accepting that they're diving in to a flow they've not so far been part of. Obviously some people are a bit pricklier. I can't account for that, just put my hands up and say, "OK, that wasn't the best intro."
