I was only stating that it is a polite thing to do.
When it comes to chatting in talk back, it doesn't matter. IMHO it means a lot when people are giving advice in the "real" forums. You don't know if the person giving advice has the experience or the qualifications to do so. Yeah, for most jumpers, they can see if the advice being given is valid or not, but take your average AFF student. Will they know? Will they take the time to ask one of their instructors?
Honestly, the only folks I've seen get truely pissy about stuff like that (while trying to post in the "real" forums) are folks who don't have the jumps or experience to truely be able to give out that sort of advice.
edit:
How can I create any sort of culture on this site? This is a moderated site that curbs many "cultures" that may have started (like the culture of wreck-dot), but a culture needs a group of people. Basically, I'm a fucking no body in skydiving, thus what I say really doesn't matter.

QuoteWhat's your DZ.com pet peeve?
People that don't know how to use the "reply" and "quote" functions. You don't have to copy the whole post in order to reply to a few lines.
People that don't separate their signature from their post. I'll be reading along, it's the end of the post, and I read right into their signature at the bottom.
Dave, I like how you separate yours.
Get a hint people.

Yes she is. How the hell would you know anyway? Do you know her? Ever jumped with her? Well, I have and I happen to know that she is always right.
Except when she disagrees with me.
Flaming out for no real reason. That's another of my pet peeves.

Lisa... cap on me if you will but actually READ the post and UNDERSTAND the post before slamming me.
She said she was just kidding... I said she wasn't... there fore I said she was always right. That means I actually agree with you that she is always right miss know it all.

But it's more fun to cut and paste out of context and then slam you based on that.

Mine is when a person builds themselves up to be what they are not in real life, be it in regards to skydiving or anything else.

Mine is when a user doesn't enter any info into their profile. A first name and general location would be nice, atleast. Never mind jumper numbers, etc.
Oh this is a good one. My biggest pet peeve on DZ.com are self appointed advice givers!

I hate when people start a thread with a subject I want to click on, but dare not, lest I set off triggers that will draw attention from the internet gestapo.
Or when folks fail to tag attachments and links as NSFW.
'K, thassit.
you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?
There's this crazy idea called privacy, which apparently you disagree with.
The forum rules don't require anyone to post ANY public information about themselves. Your post is a flagrant attempt to create a culture whereby people are ostracized for not posting their info - which they are NOT required to do by the rules of the forum.
It saddens me to see people's opinions being shot down on these forums over and over again because they "only" have say, 100 jumps. To propogate and to attempt to institutionalize the idea that everyone should post their jump numbers and other information out of "politeness" only contributes to that viscious cycle.
