| 340573 | 2005-04-02 03:19:00 | Could anyone give me the names of a few overseas sites, similar to Press F1 & computer chat type forums? Am interested mainly in Great Britain and South Africa. Also India perhaps, and Malaya and China and Japan. If some kind person can help, thanks. :o |

| 340574 | 2005-04-02 03:29:00 | So you can ask folks there if they want to swap CD-ROMs, perchance? | Biggles (121) | ||

| 340576 | 2005-04-03 02:43:00 | I feel Mr Buckman is being unfriendly in his comment, which I took as being unreasonably sarcastic. However I am interested in getting hold of CDroms on those countries, which I consider to be a perfectly legitimate aim. If anyone can give me the names of some computer chat type sites, that may be able to help me, I would be grateful. :stare: |

Anyway I have no idea where you can go - why not try Google? Also I have a really great recipe for rhubarb sorbet... |

| 340579 | 2005-04-03 03:01:00 | sssss: Bruce made a little joke in the form of a question. If you take it as being sarcastic or unfriendly, you might be seriously at risk of taking things too seriously. ;) Your original posting was really a bit misplaced here and unneccesary, although you should still feel welcome. Try using "computer forum" as a search string to Google (http://www.google.co.nz/). That will give some sites immediately. Try adding various other keywords such as the sort of topic you are interested in. You could try the "site:<country>" modifier using the 2-letter country abbreviations for "<country>" (e.g. uk for Britain, za for South Africa). |

| 340580 | 2005-04-03 03:11:00 | I was a bit touchy about Bruce's comments, because I was just banned for a week by moderator Jen on World Forum, when my posting was well-intentioned, apparently violating PressF1's rule though, which I hadn't thought about. I feel that Bruce Buckman was rubbing this in, which is why I called his comment unfriendly. |

| 340581 | 2005-04-03 03:26:00 | It's a good policy to be a bit more relaxed about anything you read . You were sensitive and took it as unfriendly; the rest of us saw it as a mild joke . If someone becomes unfriendly and abusive to you, you will notice it, but even then it's usually best to "treat it with ignore"; others see it for what it is . Their opinion of the detractor is lowered, not of the victim . |
