I don't think it's the "regulars" on this newsgroup who complain. Yes, we regulars do see [*over and over*] the same posts. However, it's those who come here once or twice, thinking they'll get some help and instead are (often rudely) told to look it up for themself. Sure, that's the "right" answer ... but there's a *big* difference between "encouragement" and a written "slap in the face."

What's wrong with saying something like: it's a question that has been answered before ... check google groups. If you think about it, it hardly takes more keystrokes to be nice than to be a smart alec (you can insert your own stronger statement).

But hey, some people are considerate ... some aren't ... and I ain't gonna try to change the world today. It ain't my watch. Received on Mon Oct 07 2002 - 10:53:27 CDT
