If I have caused some confusion especially on my part of forum etiquette, I apologize, I truly do. I will try to act appropriately from now on.
It is what it is now... water under the bridge as they say. Not to mention, you can only learn about these things if someone takes the time to explain them.
Just as forum etiquette ... The general "rules" on most forums is where it's a tech support type of thing ( question or other similar )... keep your own questions out of that thread unless you are looking to get additional info from the OP ( original posting user ) in order to help them. This is just so the user that originally was asking for assistance will get the help they need without the thread getting sidetracked unless it is sidetracked by the OP user themselves.
Other more discussion types of forums, it's not like that and everyone is more or less open to ask or say what they are within the forum guidelines.
Now some forums have both types of areas... this forum is one of those. So most of the forum areas are more support directed and yet there are some areas that are more discussion oriented. So in these cases, usually looking at the first post you can determine if it's someone looking for support of some type, or just asking things in general where a discussion format is more appropriate.
Heck, we've had threads that started out as strictly a support type and then once the questions or info was answered, devolved into a discussion usually along the same topic lines of the original. Just use your best judgement and typically you will be fine. Tony ( the forum owner ) doesn't want it to be too strict and certainly doesn't want each of us trolling each other ( unless is fun when it's obviously not serious )...
