whoa buddy, calm down a little here....we're all mature here, i hope. i understand that you want quick answers, as i do too. but most of the time, searching will give you faster results than posting and waiting for a response. also, it will not piss off the people that see the same questions over and over everyday that they might have answered willingly 2 days ago. on this subject especially, there is quicker results in searching because this question is answered very frequently. i'm not sticking up for anybody, i'm just saying when asking for help, people are more willing to help when you are 1)courteous 2)informative about your question and 3) have displayed to your "helpers" that you have done all you can do in a timely manner to solve it yourself, thus the reason you are asking for help. there are some people that go overboard with snapping on people, but telling me you are lazy does not make me want to help you when i was not lazy learning the info.....



I still have no idea where you two are getting me being lazy from, I never said that. And, no, I get much quicker answers on here than I would searching, I've tried it before. The trouble with searching, especially on such a common topic, is there's too much opinion and sidetracking, so I have to sift through so much crap, just to get to the real facts and the real info I need. If someone sees a topic that they've seen before, don't respond to it, don't open it, don't bother with it. I don't see why people are so compelled to work themselves up like that.

1) I was courteous
2) I was informative about my question
3) no

Hey, 2/3 ain't bad. And, technically, I did do all I could in a timely manner to find the answer. For ME, that's all the time I had at that moment to search for it. So yeah, I did.
