Replies in chronological order, and sorry for the delay
A and C
nothing to do with ego or personality or ANYTHING to do with ANY PERSON, I just didn't (more on that "didn't" instead of "don't" later) think it should be asked here.
STP
there's no such thing as a stupid question, more on that later too.

I almost agree with your last sentence, except this quote I found on the entry to the Instructor's Forum,
"A place for instructors to communicate with one another "
That's pretty much what I quoted, no need to get personal at me if you don't read the notice on the door.
Tallbloke
there are no closed forums for instructors.

I'm not discouraging anyone with my post, just questioning the group whether it is appropriate to have it HERE (sorry about the caps, i can't do italics)
rolling circle
my post was related by appropriateness to the forum. Would you as a student walk into a teachers conference and ask how to write an essay?
A and C again
I wasn't critical of the person, just the place they posted that particular question. More on that later (read "at the end")
New Bloke
thankyou (I think)
BurningKeroNow
no derision in my post.
now here's "that later". i think I've found where the misunderstandings are coming from. That bit I quoted IS at the front door to the forum, however, after seeing R+N and wannabes I fully concur with STP's choice of here to ask the question. Maybe (new idea coming up) we should either rename this forum to "school" or something like that, or we could all frequent Tech Log a bit more (although it does say on their front door, "for airline pilots..."). I go to Tech Log and look for the posts I know something about but there just aren't many there. Why should it be limited to airline pilots?
STP, there's no such thing as a dumb question and I'm not happy with you feeling sorry towards anyone for asking it. If you've got any more, you might as well bring them in if this is your best field of responses.
