Being nice is free but brings great rewards. I know it can be frustrating when peeps ask NooB questions. I remember my first time on the net. Hell, the faqs were over my head and the manuals seemed to written it Arabic.....or Greek. A lot of folks were nice enough to humor me and answer my questions. I'm just passing it on.

Thx peatmoss, I shall try. "Anger leads to the Dark Side of the Force!"

He is right.

Being "nice" does merit some rewards and is, IMO, the "right" thing to do.

Reading post-after-post of some asshole constantly displaying "search google, noob" or "google is your friend" or linking to some obscure forum FAQ just defeats the purpose and truly is nothing more than as much spam as the person asking the question to begin with.

It is one thing responding to a question that overall is just plain moronic with those responses- it is quite another to respond to legitmate inquiries of help in that manner. And often you can tell the spam apart from true ignorance (which by definition, is not an insulting term mind you).

If it were not for acts of kindness, I doubt that anyone here would have gotten so far on the net or experience with their systems than with some cretin making an attempt to prove superiority by posting :rtfaq: or :rtfm: .

It would not hurt to just answer the fucking question and be done with. Perhaps making a friend or two out of it as well and gaining alittle respect in the process.
