[[Also, try being a little more polite. Goes along way in getting someone to help you.]]
I don't think I need to point out the irony in that statement. We have to take into consideration that the internet is our gateway to a global community, and not everyone's first language is "American". What often comes across as 'rudeness' is often just a simple lingual-misunderstanding. I've been on both ends of the semantic-stick... try giving others the benefit of the doubt. You'll be a lot happier, and they won't be afraid to ask for help the next time the need hits.
