Holy Cow! Our local newspaper calls teabaggers "terrorists"

24. Not trying to be nasty--just wondering why you didn't give us a link, since that is standard

operating procedure.

Your later post explained why, and I suddenly realized that, like me, you are not as comfortable with computer technology as a lot of other people (especially young ones!) are these days.

I have been where you were--not knowing that I could just copy-paste a URL as a link.

And I am guessing you are from my generation, since all kids learn typing/keyboarding in school these days, as well as learning general computer skills.

When I was in school, we didn't learn to type. Only kids who went to the "commercial" or "trades" high school learned typing. Those in the college prep track didn't (because, I suppose, they assumed we would all have a secretary with a commercial high school diploma to do our typing for us).

That's why your comment about your typing skills made me think you must be in my generation--that and your not knowing how to copy-paste a URL to create a link.

Also, that is why I spelled out the steps for copy-pasting in another post, because when I didn't know how to do that with a URL from a browser bar, being told to "just cut and paste" it would have been incomprehensible to me, since at the time I didn't know what "cut and paste" or "copy-paste" meant. (If in fact you did know how to copy-paste, I absolutely did not mean my directions as an insult. I was just giving you the steps I would have needed if someone had told me to "cut and paste" as that poster had told you to do. I wouldn't have had a clue what he meant!)

By the way, neither did my deaf sister I refer to in that post, so once when I told her to do that to a URL that she wanted to send to me (since she also can't type and kept making errors that invalidated the link when she tried to type it and send it to me)
