I wasn't saying you were lonely either. It was merely a joke perhaps taken the wrong way. I guess it's another good example of what you said in the first post.

These new members must not have much experience in forums or on the internet. One of the biggest drawbacks of communicating to strangers on-line is that we can not hear them. All we do is read what they say then in our head we add the tone of voice. Most of the time, it seems, we add a negative tone to anything that doesn't come across clearly. Even when a smiley face is added to the comment, some take that as someone making fun of them.

Most people who make comments are not trying to be insulting or make themselves seem "better" than the other person, so if the receiver of the comment "feels" he/she is being insulted then ....((that wasn't my intention))
It's not only new members...
