Duh? That's not very friendly, TOF.
Duh....Ummm....Errr.......it's called a poignant pause while one considers what one really wants to say, but doesn't. It is neither friendly nor unfriendly, it's merely a literary device which expresses the consternation of the writer.
You said:
I use water, thanks.
I originally wrote:
Just an FYI for anyone who might be interested in what they are putting down their gun barrels.
So, it was a public service message that
those who do use various solutions like Windex or Fantastic could see the chemical make-up of those products.
Since you and others only use water, it is not directed at you. Therefore what is unfriendly about this is hijacking an informational thread with information not germaine to the topic. Thread hijacking is considered downright rude in netiquette and a moderator should know better.
Further, Me-too type responses are best reserved for social networking media like Twitter. Me-too postings are are also a breach of netiquette, as they add nothing to the informational database of any particular subject. They are banned by most responsible administrators of of this type of media. Me-too messages just add to the bandwidth of a board "without providing any viable content." They also take up valuable archival storage space and cause the results any serious search of any particular topic to be filled with unrelated information. This is especially relevant when pleas are being made for more funding due to increased bandwidth. Social networkers have nothing but time; and, by clogging boards with their non-informational content soon drive away those serious students who tire of wading thru pages of fluff to find a pearl. They are the direct causal influence of a site's entropy. Denial accelerates entropy; but, in spite of hard work by many serious contributors, it is happening now.
