I don't dispute this. The "Boy if I had only known" comment was to suggest if I had know about the crap for asking a question. > Well, there is no link.

Could you try to define what the scope of MY query was?) As far as you telling me my reasoning is circular...huh? Do even know what you meant by using that word? I did not say that there was a link or that there even was an answer! I can see as how you might have interpreted that but I can't control your thought process. > In general we're also pretty busy. This is like saying "Oh ya! Apples are red!" totally irrelevant. What does time have to do with this? Stick to the topic. > So if you'd taken the time to properly > phrase your technical question you would have saved all of us (yourself > included a lot of time). That was my best shot at asking the question. How could I have gotten more technical with out having more knowledge of the subject. That is what circular reasoning is: Ask a more technical question of something you do not know the technical information about. > Did you read the FAQ before you posted?

Maybe I should have reworded my post. I have had problems before, where my posts did not make it through and I thought this might have been the case. On the other hand, I feel my post was stating exactly what I wanted. Could you rewrite for me to show me how it should have read? I WAS looking for some form of documentation on IMC logging, let me see it how you would have done it? > Now, if your feelings are just too hurt, there are a number of other > Exchange forums you might try.

I was just I little taken by the arrogance of the replies I received, which you seem to think are OK. What is wrong with idle curiosity? If you have a problem with asking questions as a form of learning that is ok, but it doesn't mean everyone thinks that way.

(take 2) Joe, On average you will find some of the most exchange knowledgeable people on this list.

Well, there is no link. The scope of your query wasn't limited to just a link. If it was, you'd have gotten the answer you wanted. But your reason(ing) is circular, and when complaining about our inability to think it a rational manner that's kinds funny. >I thought to myself...Hey, > these guys seem pretty smart on this list, let me ask them. > Boy, if I had only known...wow! In general we're also pretty busy. So if you'd taken the time to properly phrase your technical question you would have saved all of us (yourself included a lot of time). > Go back and read those replies that you guys wrote. They > sound kind of silly huh? I've reread mine and find a distinct lack of silliness or irrational thought. Perhaps you can enlighten me. > I was referred to this list by someone who mentioned that the > people here are a great help...he forgot to mention the > condescending comments that I you have to endure to get that help... Did you read the FAQ before you posted? If you had, you might have saved yourself from the perceived condescension you feel you've been subjected to. Based on the question you /asked/ the responses were reasonable. Perhaps the fact the question was completely ignored the first time you asked it should have served as a clue that it needed some work. Your insistence on reposting it without further revision or comment speaks volumes. Now, if your feelings are just too hurt, there are a number of other Exchange forums you might try. You'll find a heavy overlap of the top contributors in those forums as well, but who knows... You might get lucky and someone will tell you "there is no link" or do a ton of work to satisfy your seemingly idle curiosity.
