As a once new and member and still a novice, there are many subjects that I don't offer opinions or technical explanations on beacuseI simply don't have the knowledge to assist the reader. However, as with any of us, there things that I do have experience with,and I gladly will voice my opinion regardless of whether or not it differs from others, and I will do it without hesitation. I think I am willing to do this becausethe vast majority of the TDP membership is open and interested in varying opinions. I have never been reluctant to post an opinion that differs from "the more experienced forum members" and when I have done so, I haveonly met with sarcasm a couple of times and usually it was with a smiley face on the end so no harm done. On the flipside, If I was in error, I have been corrected with normally a sound explanation.
The point is, even the "demigods" are here to help and usually do so in a friendly and constructive manner.Don't be afraid to challenge them; I have, many times, and have usually rec'd a solid explanation in return from which I have learned a great deal.
Reluctance to postandto offer a differing opinion, will ultimately only be your loss and possibly a loss to someone else who needs your view on the topic.
Don't hesitate to post, even if your opinion dffers from others----Just be courteous and respectfull when doing so. I think the great majority of the forum membership will do the same for you.

Wait, wait...if the two of you don't qualify as 'demigods on this site' then no one does! [^o)]
I can't agree more with this statement. Sure, opinions differ. But no one's opinion is more valuable than anyone else's, they all have merit. As long as we're honest and act with reasonable online decorum and etiquette, it's all good! I, for one, have learned a tremendous amount from others on this forum, both from the 'regulars' and from new contributors.
Fine, you checked your internet connection. But did you make sure your computer was plugged in when you got logged off?!? [:P]
Seriously, I think there's something odd about the way some browsers handle cookies from this site that causes the issue. In another thread, people (me included), complained about that issue with Safari. I recall one morning that I got logged off about four times in a row while trying to post one reply (which I had to recreate once, then I learned to copy the text to the clipboard before clicking Post and getting logged out yet again). Then I tried turning off cookies, and I no longer get logged out.
