and "Read books", OK, but THEY'RE sitting there at their computer too!

That is very true.
I think it's a fine line we walk. I LOVE Yahoo Answers, and another chat spot or two, but it's important to remember the real life always takes precedent over cyber life.
On the other hand, sometimes being here is a great temporary escape from real life, y'know. You also have to pick and choose who you reply to. If someone write you a note, that does not obligate you to answer. I only write back to the ones I want to.
It's all a balance. This can be a hobby like any other. What's wrong with that. It's also incredibly cheap for the amount of enjoyment I get from it.
As for those others. It's just a case of "Do as I say, not as I do". Basically, they are turds. Now understand....I mean that kindly, I mean that caringly.....

Sometimes they have read some books on the subject and, or, have experienced the difficulty themselves and KNOW what they are talking about. If it works on one system why wouldn't it work on another? If turning off the computer (NOT restart) and starting it back up will solve a problem wouldn't that be the way to go?

I just gave someone that same bit of advice, wanna know why? because it looked like they took something that was going on here on the internet and their PC a lot more personal and seriously than they should take it, I would imagine that is why people give that advice, at least that;s why I do

Ironic, isn't it? Kinda like the Christians who tell you that you're going straight to hell but they're the first ones in line there. (Not to start a big religious pissing war, I'm not talking about all Christians, just the hypocritical ones.)

I use this as a rest period. I am VERY active and by golly I need to sit down and rest, so if someone were to tell me to get out and live life, I already have for the day, and they should mind their own business. PPPPPBBBBHHTT!!!

It depends on how long you're sitting at your computer. 1 hour a day is ok, 16 hours is not.

Yeah I agree totally.
Similarly, I used to have a lot of arguments (given up on this since) with people saying that science is bogus and they reject it. And how would they be telling me this - using the Internet !!!
