I love forums. Is where you get information of what you want to know by the experts living the same situation. I belong to many forums for different things. One thing I have noticed about Expats forums is that there is so much arguing between members including Mods. Why is this? huh, got me. But what the heck. I will still be roaming Expats forums and get my info keeping a low profile. I am no longer reading what does not pertain to my needs the way I was before when I was reading every thread or posts.

Thank you for sharing that information with us papitoheadMods arguing? Wouldn't happen on this forum ......we are too friendly and easy-going. In any place where two people or more meet for discussion there will always be difference of opinion. Sometimes people are very passionate about things and can get a bit carried away but the thing to remember is that everyone has an opinion and everyone not only has the right to have their opinion but everyone has the right to dissagree with another person's opinion. It would be a very strange (and boring) world if everyone always agreed with everyone else.

I understand what you are saying Barramundi. But what I mean is that arguments get going and seems they won't stop, then they take it to a different thread. I invite all of you to visit www.dssrookie.com where we have over 300,000 members. It is a FTA forum where I have been a mod for 10 years now and we do not see anything like this. Besides FTA we also discuss Android TV boxes, but is not limited to just TV reception. There are several subforums that includes just about everything from gardening to even dogs who are men's best frineds. Of course, there are times where mods have to step in and enforce the rules with a progressive disciplinary action. If you learn your lesson you will be fine. Those who do not care end up outside looking in. I do hope to hang around here because my goal is to know all the tricks about Colombian life which, being married to a Colombiana, I have learned a lot.

dssrookie.com does not appear to have any info on how to improve the reception -- or reprogram a wife to her once loving personality--

My friend loo, OH you know what a LOO is I hope but you are getting a lesson in Colombiana 101. After 16 years with mine I have come to the conclusion that it isn't about love or the lack of with Colomiana's is is 100% about CONTROL. They can still "love you to pieces" but they all have this inbred compulsion to control you. Sometimes for good but many times not. First off they do not even come close to understanding the male Gringo psychi. They don't understand male fidelity (foreign to them) as 99% of Colombian males always have a "spare tire" or two so this automatically implies they have an INHERENT distrust in all males. Then there is the compulsion to PROVE to you how smart they are, regardless of subject they are an authority and makes NO difference what your education or background is they disregard it. IE: my wifes Dad is a retired M.D., he asked me to fix his swimming pool filter for him then sat there and TOLD me how to do it. I told him, Chepe, I don't go into an operating room and tell you how to do it. My wife's answer, "Don't Ever Tell My Papa He's Not an Engineer". hahaha, the whole family has tolerated him for over 60 years of doing this. So, I love forums also if nothing more than venting to a captive audience and I have gained a lot of good knowledge about Colombia in general.

By gosh, now I am happy I opened this thread. Everyone is being polite, staying in the subject and humor around it. Excellent. Keep it going and see who will cause a Mod to close the thread. lol
btw, My wife also wants to control me. They say a man uses only 3% of his brain and once in a comfort zone, they stay stagnated. Of all the talk in my house I only got 3% which is about right for me, then I run to my man cave.
