Well, I should have spotted HCL b4, silly me.

umm, apart from now having to put my own mobo up for others to laugh at, heh heh, I was wondering is it ok to reply to said HCL post and if not whether to post here at hardware etc.

I don't like the idea of PM as I think they are intrusive and tend to lack accountability. Yep I know some big words as well.

I was going to do a post to website suggestions and questions but my fumbling brain could not figure out where the new thread button is.....I am not joking. So I wandered off to discussions and found I was probably not a guru so was locked out of posting a new thread.

This is NOT meant to inflame, I am only stating my perception of my facts. OK?

HCL is great and once we all support if even if we are using old hardware, a numbers will ensure better selections for new computer retail therapy.

But how the heck do I quiz the post without doing a PM and without, belittling the original poster into being scared? of receiving a post question or comment??

I hope you understand what I am trying to say without using private messages.

My mobo is now on, its early days yet, have just found the HCL thread feedback so can you close this one and I will post at that thankx.
