Years ago, I went in and was disappointed. I ran an experiment and was even more surprised. No longer would I be but I tried to get help in the chat stuff and everyone pretty much told me to RTFM. Then I noticed the women got more attention - so I created a profile (lynn something if I remember correctly) and went in to chat as a female. Boy oh boy, I couldn't believe the help I got! I concluded it's much easier to get things done as a girl because the guys practically fell over their feet trying to give me private assistance. I learned all I needed to know in 1/100th the time it would take me to learn it on my own. I've extended this to the Internet, always asking questions as a female and getting the answers so very much easier than if I were a guy. It's amazing. Lucky women. Help is only a keyboard away. Still, as the "real me" on CM, chat is, sad to say, back to boring and uneventful and I quickly gave it up. Even these message boards, which I enjoy, I give up once a month or so because it's sooooo one way. There's almost no two-way communication.
