This isn't just semantics. abill_uk IS a native English speaker and his choice of separating "community" from "us" gives the appearance of creating two audiences here. Some have asked for clarification and received none.

I see the thread title as divisive, which supports the opposite of a strong community. And you acknowledge being new, which indicates you are likely still lacking the context that would help you understand where some responders are coming from.

If abill_uk doesn't mean to create the perception of division, then I would suggest he reword the thread title so we can unwrap from that axle.

EDIT: but again, the thread has become about the poster rather than his subject. I am hovering over the Close function...
