If you're so worried about Netiquette, Gordon...then go play with the
big boys. Realize that these support groups are for ALL users...not
just those who worry about "the rules."
Many folks struggle JUST to find their way here in order to ask for
help. They're new to technology and/or the Internet...and they don't
ALL speak fluent/proper English, nor should they be expected to do so.
All they are is frustrated with something related to technology and
they are desperate for help to get rolling again.
Having some elitist goofball come back at them to chastise their
efforts because they did not ask their questions properly is just
plain ignorant.
If you want to help them...EXPLAIN the issue to them to help them
LEARN...don't blast them for not understanding what they don't know.
