Rob, I have to admit that I abolutely don't see your point. You'll notice that I asked, and so did Bill, about which part of the first post was harsh or a cause for disagreement.
No response, just generalities about people who know it all etc., which doesn't sound like anyone I know here, and has absolutely no relation to the issue at hand.
On the other hand, I personally avoid some members, who will never accept answer they don't want to hear. And in many cases, you can tell by the way the question was asked.
It's an absolute no-win situation. If you answer their questions, they bark at you that you're a "know it all". If you don't answer their questions, they bark at you any way "how come no one answerd my question".
If you really want only a specific range of acceptable answers, the best way is to ask multiple choice questions, and leave an option for "none of the above" to be on the safe side. This way you won't find specific answers harsh.
I'm fully aware my above statement will be written off by many as another "know it all" answer, but that's how I feel towards members who will not let you support them, even if you want to.
I have no grudge against such newbies, and I know of many who came back later (after driving themselves nutts and giving up for a few months) once they realised it's not a quick fix, and you can't notice losses within the day, let alone on daily bases.
Wa'il
