We're all sorry that we didn't drop everything that we are doing and<br>
rush in to answer your question. Clearly any question that you have<br>
should outweigh our miserable lives and jobs.<br>
<br>
I'll give you a little lesson on etiquette here, though I know you'll<br>
only ignore it. If you want people to actually help you, for free, and<br>
at the expense of other peoples valuable time, you should try to<br>
refrain from being an asshole. Sometimes, if you ask a question no<br>
one will know the answer. Generally speaking, rather than everyone<br>
wasting time responding to your email "I don't know", if people don't<br>
know the answer they just won't respond. Unfortunately that means that<br>
sometimes your question will go unanswered. If that happens, POLITELY<br>
post again, don't just start going around calling people "prick" and<br>
"cocksucker". If after your second post you still don't get an<br>
answer, you can probably safely assume that we don't know the answer.<br>
<br>
This reasonably polite response was far more than you deserved. The<br>
advice above is recommended for use on other mailing lists in the<br>
future. I recommend that you not bother posting on this list again,<br>
since I doubt that you'll find the other list members terribly helpful<br>
towards you in the future. On the other hand, a sincere apology can<br>
sometimes go a long way. It might be worth a try.<br>
