If I may quote someone who has acknowledged and much better skills at writing than I, ‘Signior Antonio, many a time and oft In the Rialto you have rated me...’ etc and it appears that you too are rating us without knowing us.
Whilst I certainly endorse curiosity, enthusiasm etc, I don’t see that automatic sarcasm and general bad mannered postings – especially those using pointless American imports such as ‘weeners’ need to be the norm – especially when the original posting completely ignored the etiquette of this forum. Having made those points, I shall behave like the (mature) gentleman I am and refrain from further comment - but I shall be thinking quite a lot!
