I am new to this site(2 days now) and I "ragged" pretty heavily on someone there about too much "computer speak" for the older guys(the ones with
all the experience and free advice to offer).The webmaster probably had
a good chuckle with his latte from Starbutts.
Is it really necessary to use terms like "avatar" in place of the word "picture"?
We are all very impressed by the "high falootin' " terms that are used on
this site,but they confuse,obfiscate and otherwise annoy potential users.
How about just regular folks English?
A site that is easy to use (no avatar buttons or vbb and other nebulous terms) like the Flathead Ford Forum,is a info resource that everyone loves
to use.
I am into the 50's Oldsmobiles myself .
