Steve,man if you did not care to share,let it go hope you are having a better day.

Why is it that some people believe that any blunt comment some how means that the person making the comment is somehow mad at the world? Ridiculous conclusion in my opinion.

I will admit to frustration at the often low level of communication skills evident on many internet forums. This includes both spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and paragraphs that run on for 75 lines with no Capitalization. Here is an example: "Steve,man if you did not care to share,let it go hope you are having a better day."
If it weren't so scary relative to the future of our society, it would be funny.


It's not up to you to define how list participants chose to respond to posts. I'm certainly not the first person to suggest that the person asking the question first do a search. After all, isn't that why there is a search function?

The reason that some of my responses don't provide the answer lies in my background. It's my many, many years of management experience. By the way the majority of the employees that worked with, and for me, over the years also had sub-standard writing skills. It's always been my belief that, if you know the answer, it's not good strategy to always provide it to the questioner. If you instead suggest methods for the person to find the answer, then hopefully they will learn how to find some of the answers, and reserve future questions for topics on which they are truly stumped.

Many of the threads on this forum, and others, are simply the same worn out questions over, and over again.
