What I don't get is if certain people are so jaded, why so they stick around? Like another person said, this is all done for free. Its not like people here are stuck to answerin questions 40 hours a week. If questions upset you, then hit the road. There's no reason for angry/jaded people to stick around here. It makes no sense.
