The thing that strikes me about all of this is that in this day and
age nothing disappears, everything is searchable (including email
addresses) and it’s not unknown of for potential employers to Google
potential hires.
This of course works both ways in that if there’s a bunch of posts
from a potential hire for a networking job asking “What is an IP
address?” it doesn’t look great, it also doesn’t look great when you
have a bunch of so-called professionals acting like a bunch of bitchy
little girls in a school playground.
It seems a little sad and unnessecary tbh.

I’m astounded that you think personal name-calling is an acceptable
way to behave.
Do you treat peers and customers the same way when they ask you
questions that you think are incomplete or naïve?
Cheers

"Acceptable" is a relative term. Knowing Gary as well as I do I can
assure you it was acceptable to him. Knowing others here as well I can
safely say it's acceptable to them as well.
Honestly Gary's response is pretty spot on, the function of a
professional list typically is for peers of an expected experience
level, and part of that expectation is to do some of your own work as
this is not a place for "could you please do my thinking for me?"
The correlation to "Carpet Boy" is apropos as a good known reference
point for repeated offenses of this type of generally agreed upon
unacceptable behavior.
That said, given my record here, I expect to be summarily ignored.

Calling someone as “asshole” is acceptable, simply because they asked

That’s ad hominem, unnecessary and unprofessional. Whilst we might
have disagreements, let’s keep the conversation civil, and talking
about the topic and not the man/woman.

On the otherhand, a bitch-slap can be a healthy and needed aspect of
Apprenticeship. It makes people think - about thinking for themselves
and to make greater considerations of the details involved with
whatever their question may be - before they ask an incomplete
question, or try to move forward with an incomplete thought again.
This list, while very friendly, has been more tolerating than recently
than in the past of such things. Not necessarily a bad thing, but also
something notably annoying to many more experienced professionals. And
there is the rub; this is a bitch-slap, not an act of unprofessional -
because this is not a professional forum. This forum is highly social,
and a bitch-slap is a social adjustment.

I would think a solution would include such a capability. If you are
rolling your own then I suggest testing as I have had false positives
with robocopy.
