Political Correctness

What was in that ?

Not a peace and love ingredient certainly Ana.

That is not a rephrasing of your original post. It's something else entirely.

So the consensus is, exactly what you call us doesn't matter, but whatever you choose, it will not be relevant (or acceptable) to everyone.

And whatever image you have of the interests, ability and attitude of a person of an older generation using a computer, there will probably be more who do not fit that generalisation than do fit it. There are as many variations as there are varieties of younger person online. There is not a magic transformation as 50 or 60 or 70 or 80 or 90 are reached.

Vive la difference.

If it is just a discussion topic, I will stop offering advice. If it is research, then you need to sharpen up the way in which you express yourself, your grammar and your spelling.

Please note the "if"!

I think you're floggin' a dead horse here Adam

If you read through the forum subjects, I think you will find quite a few relevant comments to your questions.

Pardon Absent?

I am only wondering why the thread this morning was deleted.

Damn! How do I get the red pen off my tablet?

He posted one on Ask a Gran and one on Ask a Grandad.

You could try bleach, rosequartz!

jingl Clearly the cake did not contain anything unconventional. I must say that this thread has certainly livened up my morning. Must go and eat and eat some breakfast, but not cake.

thatsbags - I am trying to comply with the law of Gransnet but it's like the wild west in this place.

I think you have cracked it, Adam. Gransnetters are a scary lot.

Elegran if you could point me in the right direction then I will leave you all in peace.

Thank you.

Just thought - do you need to address us as a community at all? If you have anything to say, just say it.

Queen Victoria detested Gladstone because he always "addressed me as if I were a public meeting".

Which direction do you want pointing in, Adam?

I think Adam, that you need to think about exactly what you want to know and why. Then work on developing targeted, specific questions that will give answers to what you are trying to find out and enable you to process, analyse, synthesise and use the data.
As others have said, many people on here have been using computers and developing systems and applications for over forty years. There is a lot of expertise, but you won't draw it out unless you ask the right questions.
I hope this helps.

Poor Adam, I don't think GN is quite what he was expecting! Or perhaps it is and we have fallen into the trap . . . . .

Well, this thread's generated 71 posts since 5.30-ish so it's served some purpose!

Well said Cari
I resent being a GP (guinea pig) not medical sort unless I'm paid for it!
In fact my late husband was a founder member of the Institute of data processing managers, as well as a Bsc (eng) M. Tech. C Eng, MIDPM.
That's why I never wrote to him! Took too long to address the envelope.

Btw, Adam. My hair is silver.
