Why Register?

I was just wondering about registering...the reason i ask..i have notice in the past few weeks...there has been one Guest who has not register...but has posted a great number of times giving and seeking advice...whats the reason then for everyone else to register

 

Thanks very much Paul and LWM...for your well informative answers and quick responce...i was only curious as to why someone would not register after being here for awhile..they obviously like the forum or they wouldn"t keep coming back ...that is just my observation..once again thanks...keep up the good work.

 

Is there a limit on how many times a guest can visit or post here?
No matter. If a member is complaining about guests. Then its time for this guest to find the way out.
Thank you admistrators and moderators.
In the future should I return it will be to read only. As in the past.

 

Shunned,
I saw no mention or inference in Mullymans' Post with regard to a complaint about you, nor was there any suggestion of complaint with regard to your Posts.

As far as I can see, it was a plain and simple question as to the difference between the advantages of being a Registered member compared to that of a Guest, I saw nothing to give you reason to think otherwise.

Long may you Post here.

Best Regards, Cochise,

 

In no way did i intend to offend anyone..i was just asking a simple question...and to which i received an intelligent and informative answer and thats all i was looking for, i always assumed a guest in a forum was just that,then they had to register...now it was explained to me...now i know

Shunned:..don"t take it personal...i have read some of your posts and you offer helpful advice...we only learn how something works if we ask...i noticed you had to ask a question to(Is there a limit on how many times a guest can visit or post here?) and thats all i did ...come on now don"t take your screen name so seriously

 

Shunned - Look, "registering" does not involve having your real, full, name/address/email addy and phone # visibly attached to every post you make or anything - it's (in addition to everything else that's been mentioned) simply a way for people to be able to "rely" on you being you (and any information you either ask for or post).

Maybe this can help
To shunned...

Its been somedays now,
We have been seeing you
and till now what I understood
people like you are few

Do NOT go like this
you are always welcome here
you do have lotsa knowledge
and we want to have a share

Mullyman did not intend
by anyway to make you hurt
It was just some enquiries
that he wanted to clear from his part

Shunned you already know me
and also know others too
Why are you thinking you are unwanted
I am NOT having any clue

your nice and polite posts
and in times informative ones
Truly, whenever I see your post
I always give a glance

All said and done
a request from one of your fan
Please do NOT leave Wilders
Guest or registered.. we need you man

 

Have the deepest respect for all those that replied......thank you.
Mullyman I was not offended by your post.
The word "guest" naturally applies to me as well. An I did not come here to offend any member....if it appears to any member here that a guest has over-stayed their welcome then its only respectful to the entire forum for the guest to peacefully leave. Thats how I see it.

LWM.., yes, your point well taken. I've no complaint in any regards.....not about the forum...administrators...moderators..or members. My willingness
as a guest to leave if a member complains is a gesture of respect. Why wait for a problem to occur or a flame...not implieing that it would happen in this case. Just being both cautuous and respectful

Spy1.....Pete, I would be the first to encourage a person to register. Can see no problem in doing so. In my case I am just passing through...which has been stated in several of my posts....its pointless for me to register if I am not going to be here.....that and that alone is why I don't register.

Sub.....it was by your invitation that I continued posting. All I am doing is rebuilding a few old computers and testing them on the internet......here is a safe place for testing....that was the logic of my being here.

Hope this clears the air. Keep in mind please that no explanation would have been given had there not been a real respect for each poster...and the forum.
Will I continue posting....no, frankly I am feeling nervous about doing so now. You tryed to put that nervousness to-rest an thats appreciated......the issue is with me....having seen many flames and rants begin just over such a question I prefer to leave the subject alone and keep peace.
