I would like to thank all the members who do not hesitate to just answer a question, without ridicule, without debasement, without derision. Those of you who do truly get what all this is about. Unfortunately, there are not enough of you. I joined awhile back after leaving forums for many years due to the people who feel they can't be bothered with such a trivial question, or won't answer until they have harangued the op to death. Yes, I know what those people, and even some of you good people, will say, and I'm not gonna debate. I'm just going to say goodbye to this forum and all forums in general. The elitists really aren't so smart, they just need to make someone else feel stupid so they may bask in their own superiority.Spending time on a forum should be a pleasure, for the askers and the answerers. I believe if one feels answering a question without balling out someone for not looking elsewhere first is just saying they don't wish to actually help, they only wish to look like they are too high on the ladder to be bothered, and that their time is so valuable that just answering the question and moving on doesn't get them enough ROI. So, to all who love to use the term "help vampire", my hope is that you one day feel the same rejection and frustration so deeply that you either change your mind, or take steps to cleanse your attitude from the gene pool. I wish I could say it's been fun, but......

Rep:
All members give of their time & answers freely, nobody has to answer any question on this forum, but I agree, those that are having a bad day shouldn't post.
You've made three posts in the forum: One similar complaint to this one in April last year, a recent post in another member's thread offering advice on the use of code tags and this post. That's it.
You may have had some problems at other sites, but with only three posts here, with no examples of what you're referring to, it's difficult to comprehend why you're posting this here or why you're quitting the site.
There are a lot of old-timer members here who have a lot of knowledge to share, and have donated a lot of their time to helping in these forums. These same members have their own temperaments and are probably tired of incomplete or cryptic questions, and just don't really have the patience to be long-winded and nicey-nicey about it. That's ok with me, I understand. Once you learn how to ask a question in this forum, it becomes easy to find an answer.
