yea that was totally rude.

95% of my users don't know how to use FTP - they can hardly format BBCode. Are they stupid? No, because they don't care.

Most of them are writers and artists. We have a few stock brokers and many of doctors and psychologists. These people are so ++++ing smart, they don't need to learn anything more than basic internet skills. But yet, they need to learn FTP because they spare a few hours after work to come to my site for what... to interact?

They could give a ++++ less about bits & bytes, Fark, torrents, graphic design, mark up, burning their own DVDS, the latest "pwnd" picture, their upstream/downstream, FTP, GD2, Trillian Pro, SEO, Adobe acquiring Macromedia, proxys, serverside includes, 3WC, cascade style sheets, CMS, Cpanel, DNS, Apache, Star Trek and living inside their mother ++++ing box.


Now look at your memberbase and tell me how many registered users you have.
