my late introduction

I just discovered this particular forum, where I asked a question, and saw that people introduced themselves.

so briefly - I was here a long time ago and left due to I found many posts very uncivil.

Now it seems to me the quality of the conversations is for the most part much higher. I am learning a lot, and as someone else said here, I learn also when people disagree with me.

also I have learned about internet communication (after many years - slow learner lol) that carrying on divisive, angry conversation doesn't get anywhere.
And I have learned the blessing of the "ignore" key.
so I am also more civil.

and I pick and choose who I read.

greetings
