#128624 - I have to agree with Erik ... (take note ...)
Responding to: ???'s previous message
This doesn't happen often, but I believe Erik's right. It's bad enough that someone "opens the window and expects fried pigeons to fly in," but asking it be neatly packaged and delivered to his door via email rather than openly presented in the forum where everyone who wishes can benefit, is total misuse of the forum.

I don't like to abuse people, aside, perhaps, from Erik (He's a seasoned man and can handle it.), but simple improprieties such as using SMS, asking for code ("gimme code"), or otherwise expecting others to do their work and their thinking for them, is not what this forum supports, nor should it be.

When a person asks a question and subsequently asserts that the answer isn't worth his/her time and effort to read/search/understand, then I tend to go nonlinear. Why should we, the forum participants, squander our time and resources on something to which the one asking for the answers isn't willing to do the same?
