I've always found being cranky to people who respond trying to help really goes a long way to getting what you want. And not reading help files or any FAQ's is another way to rapidly learn a new program. Then although the vendor may have product support newsgroups (usually linked to on the vendor's site) I'll never look at them before or when tryng a product to see what problems people may have or what tips may be helpful to know. I'll just post at a discussion board which is not the vendor's product support forum and tell people off if they aren't helping me in the way I think I should be helped ie, without having to read something. (I favor American sign language meself.)

"all you had to do was tell me to bug off or whatever you didnt have to be rude..."

OK then, bug off. (Does this mean I'm out a potential $20? Dang!)

hehe Koasati!
What? you expect ppl to read all the way to Question #12! are you crazy they just want the thing to work I told you! hehe
me has a hard time reading I'd rather take the lazy route and ask for a straight line to the answer I'm looking for & skip the reading so I can relate, but sooner or later you end up having to read to get your answers sometimes

With the advent of main-stream skinning popularity you get the impatient quick-fix people who will DEMAND YOU FIX THEIR DAMN COMPUTER OR ELSE!!!!

Back in skinning's origins, people were genuinely eager to actually LEARN what it was all about....RTFM was the rule, not the exception.
It was a challenge to get your head around what was happening/involved....de-consructing a skin to see just how/why it worked, etc....particularly with shell themeing/coding.

From this 'eagerness' came the 'skinner'.
Now, we have a plethora of 'users' [not skinners] who have a quaint naive interpretation of what it is all about....and we are stuck with rude, asinine comments/demands on our energy/time.


Politeness is its own reward.

Common decency is not 'common' at all.

If you haven't got a civil tongue in your head towards people who were genuinely helping then in good old Aussie slang....
"Bugger off"...

actually me never RTFM I usually ran over to another machine to post a "Help me!" after I killed the one I was experimenting on. hehe
something like: Can someone please help me cuz I know I'm gonna to do this 3 more times so is there a quick fix on how to start litestep w/o RTFM?
and someone turned me onto "LiteStep enabler" to switch shells...
