Can we PLEASE stop this ????  Putting an end the "smart ass remarks" starts at your 
own keyboard.

Rod's answer was sufficient and appropriate.  I would be damn grateful (and always 
am!) when someone suffixes a "check the KB" with actual search terms to use, AND even 
a link to the KB.  He offered a solution, instead of just bitching about the person 
asking a question that is in fact answered in the KB.  And, he didn't have to waste 
his time re-typing what is clearly already in the KB.

Jeez guys -- if you don't like how someone's posted a question, and it's something 
that's been asked a zillion times... HEY, it's GOING to happen.  We all wish it 
wouldn't... but then again, we were all newbies once.  It would seem a lot easier, and 
a lot better use of YOUR time, to hit your DELETE key, instead of taking time to tear 
the person a new butt hole over it.  And then, start a whiny-ass thread about it.  And 
refer back to that thread regularly.  And then get jerks like me to take an extra two 
minutes out of our day to post a response when we've finally had enough of this crap 
coming down to us.

The delete key is faster and easier than griping.  Be helpful, or shut up.  Rod was 
helpful.  Many others have been helpful.  The damn link to "How to properly ask a 
question" is useful.  Beyond that, just face it -- there are ALWAYS newcomers, and it 
would seem much more wise to guide them gently but firmly rather than piss them off 
and have them say "well, I wanted to use iMail, but xxx problem, compounded by the 
arrogance of their support list, kinda pushed me towards product xxx".

Oh yeah, don't forget to mention how *I* could have used my delete key in this case, 
and make sure to use some word like "hypocrite"... let's not break the cycle or 
anything.
