Or worse, expects someone to provide the solution *for* them, with absolutely *no* expenditure of effort or even interest on their part. > Competent computer people simply don't get it.

Asking questions that she could have *easily* found the answer to herself is a *pattern* with her. It would be one thing if this behavior were being repeated ad nauseum by a twiffy, clueless teenager. One makes allowances for that. When it's become a pattern in a twiffy, often clueless 64-year-old, some "course correction" might be in order. > A description like 'the little thingy went away' > provides zero information to a solution provider. Share's the kind of "user" that make computer support people and computer developers consider "user" a four-letter word, and a derogatory one. > Turq is brusque anyway. And apologizeth not for it. :-) At least I *provided* useful information -- RTFM. ALL that Feste did was to crap on somebody he already didn't like (moi), while doing absolutely NOTHING to help Share himself. That's why I challenged him to do so. He won't.
