Eh some people are just not technologically able. Simple as that. I've got a mate that I work with in his 60's. Poor bloke has no idea about the Internet, I set up a pinside account for him and you know what? He never uses it, it's too difficult for him. He's only just mastered using Skype with his family back in NZ. Not that age is the issue I guess, some of my mates in their early 20s hate the Internet they don't "get" it. I think that answers (2) on your bs rant.

Oh and (3) on your list, I have been a member for almost a year now and I rarely post. I'm sure some guys have been members for many more years and have half the karma points I have. I've seen some join more recent than me and just smash the forums in turn gaining many more karma points than me. I honestly spend 2hrs+ on pinside a day, I just read posts. Just because I don't say GLWTS or AWESOME MOD MAN! On every post doesn't mean I'm not trustworthy...
