watruw8ing4 - great post.
My 2 cents on everything else. The fact that this subject comes up so often in this forum should give you pause to think. This is supposed to be a forum where people that are searching for advice or recommendations can come and ask for that advice freely without worry of being ridiculed. The rules of the forum state that you shouldn't tell someone to go back and search the forums for their answers yet I see that all of the time. We are not all computer savvy people or on the same level. If you feel someone is asking a "stupid" question then you can feel free to not post on that thread. The internet has turned so many people into something they are not. If so many of these mean spirited posts truly represent the person behind the keyboard then that is very sad.
I have voiced very similar complaints in the past. I don't post on here very often but when I do I want it to be a helpful post that will save someone some trouble or point them in the right direction or a direction they may not have thought about but could be a viable solution. That is what we should all stick to on here.
It has been stated before, It is a VERY small selection of the inhabitants of the USVI that post here on a regular basis. To the people that come here looking for help, I can see how intimidating it can be. Maybe take a step back and think, Would I say out loud to this person's face what I'm about to post on this written thread?
