<pre wrap="">I would suggest that you ask better questions. Most people will just
ignore
a message that says nothing more than "help me please" - especially with
multiple exclamations.
And if you don't get a response after 4 days, you should probably
assume you
didn't ask a very good question.

them a while to mature to where you are mentally. we need to be more
nurturing towards them

I agree with some of that. However, 'help me' doesn't /begin/ to cover
what may or may not be the problem. How many times have we been asked
'what's wrong?' and get back 'it don't work'?
Surely, even the n00bs should know the minimum requirements for asking a
question about a problem. I mean, Derek has quite a valid point. We
don't KNOW what the problem is becuase we don't know /anything/ about
his setup and what he's tried.

I agree, but at the same time, I have seen time and time again where
the n00bs think that is kinda snobish. I do tech support for a software
company and i have to be carefull about how my tone and the way my
questions some accross to the customer. <br>
