The title of your post is misleading: when I first read it I thought you meant the users on the forum were unfriendly. This is the friendliest forum I belong to.
Your issue seems to be with the nature of the modern internet. I agree: 90% of what the modern internet is being used for is rubbish and unnecessary: pictures, animations, videos (mostly porn and pirated movies)-flash advertising, music theft, stupid online fantasy games, idiots buying virtual properties with virtual personas and real money.
Governments are spending billions upon billions co-developing internet infrastructure so that I can see a video of somebody's cat lifting up the toilet seat before it pees.
Our Australian government has recently caved-in to the fear campaign that unless we spend billions on internet infrastructure we'll be left in the technological stone age. Meanwhile I had to wait 5 1/2 hours for my son to be seen by a doctor at a public hospital where a diagnosis of bacterial meningitis had to be ruled out because we don't have enough money to pay enough doctors to work in the hospital to to treat our kids.
You can apply the same logic to mobile phones: eavesdrop and you'll see most of the conversations are inane: "Hi, what are you doing?" "Nothing, you?" "Not much". "OK see ya"
I only recently got a PC with broadband, before that used an A4000 on dial-up with Ibrowse. Did everything i need to with it including this site which was the fastest to view, but it got so cheap that broadband was worth it. But then I don't give a rats about pictures/porn/movies/music.
