Spam, popups, etc

[WontTellYou]

I have been in here for a while...reading posts and learning about my
computer.That way when I do have a problem, I may be able to fix it.
But if I see one more post about spam, popups, free anti-virus, firewalls,
and free programs to rid your computer of spyware, I going to go crazy.
Don't you idiots READ? HASN'T IT OCCURRED TO YOU MORONS THAT THOSE QUESTIONS
HAVE BEEN ANSWERED...LIKE MINUTES BEFORE YOU POSTED? I swear I have seen
people give the addresses for FREE firewalls, av's, popup blockers, just
everything, explain how to use them, and 8 or 9 posts later, some
knucklehead will ask the same EXACT question. People like that really get on
my damn nerves. They are just plain lazy! So please people the next time
some dummy asks what to do about popups, firewalls, av's, or spyware, just
IGNORE them. Let the fools scroll down, because the answers are here already
in many, other posts. And don't get me started with the brainiacs who "open"
attachments from people they don't know, then wonder why they have a virus.
Cmon people, fixing a computer may require quite a bit extra...but operating
a computer is just basic common sense. Don't you have any?

you are being too critical with good people in general.
these posts come from WORLDWIDE places from people who
might not be getting ALL the other posts. not all ISP's
deliver all the posts to everyone in all formats.

besides not everyone reads every post like you do.

Most folks are unversed in newsgroup usage. They pop in, ask, leave. And
don't read other posts. Don't expect that to change.^
