[wp-forums] Anyone want a go with 'None'?

[Tom Barrett]

Usually people that pay for support appreciate the value more and therefore
have a better attitude. Which is why the free open forums have a higher
proportion of bozos. Luckily, for me, I can just ignore it and spend my
time more rewardingly elsewhere.

Well done to whomever has the ability and motivation to take that deep
breath and attempt a helpful response.
