Seems like an ongoing pattern of complaints I see from lay people, such as
myself, with us not so knowledgeable folks getting 'slammed' for being
stupid, ignorant etc by certain 'Professionals' on here.

The whole purpose of newsgroups such is this, is to help those that do not
have a desire to become an MVP or whatever it is you guys/gals go through to
obtain your skills/certificates.

It almost makes us not want to ask a question for fear of what the come back
will be. As a NonTech person, I found the newsgroups to be somewhat
reassuring that someone out there could help me. Thank God some of you are
not Teachers, or you would certainly be fired.

Remember, if you don't have patience for us asking something you think we
should know, then you should not be on here.
What is important to us, will be simple to you. Again, speaking for myself,
I could care less about learning all this stuff, it is why I ask on the
boards.

You must understand from where we sit, the average person who works in a non
technical environment, isn't going to know what you know. I.E....... a pif
file.

I don't recall who made the comment about ' how many people didn't know what
it was', how the hell are we going to know? We don't bury our heads in tech
stuff 24/7, we have other interests. WE obviously value/respect all of you
who have the passion for computers, or we wouldn't be coming here, as we
should be respected for not having or sharing that same passion.

And if you will notice, those that have been slammed with condescending
advice/remarks, never reply back or even post again.

Take it for what it's worth.
