<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 3049930, member: 36230"]Context is everything. While you may answer questions and try to be helpful, you sure as hell do not spend your time here answering <i><u>this</u></i> type of question, nor do you make regular attempts to assist the constant flow of newbies coming here. In fact, I do not recall ever seeing you regularly go out of your way to do so, nor do I see you trying to prod others into showing fair patience or not making a joke out of the questions they ask. Perhaps if YOU would instead spend your time doing so instead of attacking me for the very thing YOU refuse to do, well, perhaps it would then be worth taking you seriously.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, if YOU stopped playing hero long enough to actually look, perhaps you'd know that I was one of the relative few still willing to try to help this kid, or better yet, maybe you would see where the frustration comes from and/or why his threads are often avoided. It's okay, though; next time he can't do even the most simple thing for himself, I'm sure you'll be right there to help.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like it or not, I tossed the ball into the OP's court.

You're literally crying over the fact that I made an effort to help this kid while expecting him to do his part.

Considering you fault me for not simply providing the fruits of my effort, you shouldn't have any issue with providing him with yours. If you want to spoon feed him, that's great; either hop to it or get off my back.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
