I think there is something funny in this group, and you are not the 
first to experience it in this way. As you know news.povray.org is 
deliberately not part of the standard newsgroup system. Perhaps it is 
more than just a physical disconnection. I think on average the people 
here are somewhat older and although very involved in computers, they 
are not the rather empty showing off 'skills' type. Some of us even 
think before writing (not me of course).
You might also have noticed the continued annoyance with the lack of 
spell checking of our mascot. I think that in general you could say that 
many here appreciate it if you write good English or at least try to. If 
you are not a native speaker, use that to your advantage. Note that we 
are a friendly bunch of guys, and the occasional lady, but don't take us 
to seriously, we tend to like running gags. If you don't stop being 
taken by surprise with what goes on here, u and ur u may become one of 
those.
