Hi All, Every once in a while some rude, thoughtless person like Jonathan shows up. And yeah, he was rude on at least three counts, and we could easily enumerate them. I agree that at least one post to tell the offender that, "hey, that was rude," is important. Sometimes, the offending party shows themselves to be unworthy of the effort, like this guy. And for all the hostile flem he flung, he did have one point that was right on target: If you don't feel like helping him, just don't reply. That's my plan. If my eyeballs are so unfortunate as to see another post from this -ahem- individual, and if my poor unfortunate brain cells are so unlucky as to remember him, my course of action will be .... <delete>. Remember, stuff like this is worthy of neither our time nor our aggravation.

It's a forum for exchange questions and helping each other for christ sake... If you feel that you will only answer question if you get paid, it's fine, I'm _NOT_ forcing you to answer my qustions. > 3. Maybe I have been doing research before/after the posts, it's just that I was hoping I might get a quick answer in case my research on my own failed? Have you not tried something like this before? > peace out please, for christ sake, don't make us software engineers/techies look BAD than it already seems.
