| Rocketman, you seem to have misunderstood what this newsgroup is about;
| it's a user-to-user group, not an official Microsoft support channel.
|
| Yes, there are many people here who are "qualified in computers" and
| many more who are simply Windows users -- some with vast experience and
| expertise. Others may be relatively new to computers but if they've come
| across the issue you're experiencing, they may be the very person with
| the answer you need. Are you going to refuse help because it comes from
| "a secretary" rather than an IT professional? Personally I've had far
| more help from newsgroups, user forums and Google than I ever have from
| official technical support desks . . .
|
| Perhaps you are frustrated and fed up by not getting an answer to a
| problem, but you should realise that posting in such a rude and
| demanding way isn't likely to get you anywhere. Understand that nobody
| has a "right" to an answer here and people who respond are giving their
| time and knowledge free to try to help you. It can take a few days for
| the right person to see your post and reply; if no one replies, maybe
| nobody has an answer, or perhaps what you're asking wasn't clear. You
| can always re-post your question and maybe think about re-phrasing it
| and using a clear, descriptive subject line -- this group has *a lot* of
| traffic and many regulars simply skip subjects such as "Help!!!!". They
| don't have the time to read everything.
|
| Your comments about Rock are just untrue and ignorant. Instead of
| looking down your nose at Google, go to Google Groups, search for his
| posts and you'll see how he (and other group stalwarts like him) give
| hours of their time every day to help users with problems. When you do
| the same, yes, you might qualify for the title MVP.
|
| Oh, and we are not all "gentlemen" here either
