In fairness, this is a public forum. Many people read and learn from a conversation others have. Might even prompt them to ask their own questions.Considering I gave up playing about 5 years ago, there's no surprise that I don't know some of the new system rules.
Someone explained the rules had changed and I thanked them for it. Post no.8
Rulefan then got involved by explaining the old handicap system to me in
post 20
I felt it was unnecessary as I played under that system for many years, and it's not the first time he's done it.
You could be right
So, even if you do know certain things you are being told (which the other person may not know you know), others might not. Therefore, it improves their understanding.
So, no need to get offended, unless it is clear someone is being deliberately patronising (I certainly didn't get that vibe). It is a public forum, and others may answer a question you directed at someone else. I'm sure you've jumped into other people's conversations on many threads, like we all do.
The alternative is to send private messages, if you really do want to have a one to one chat.
