    In a 12 step program I was involved in new guys frequently asked many people the question until they got the answer they were looking for in the first place. Not so new guys too .........
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    When I was on vacation in South Carolina as a young man, three guys used to slap me around until I gave them the right answer.

    I have pondered this once or twice before. I think that few people look at the post and thanked count as well as the relative membership age of those who respond and question everyone as though we were all new members. I think If we all took the time not only to read the original question and the previously posted responses a lot less confusion would also be added in the post, my point being less confusions would lead to less argumentative appearing posts in response. In text format we do not get our regular cues of body language and tone, so it is often read as we perceive it as well. My two cents to ad to the already good responses and not meant to confuse anyone.
