All forums have members who have developed friendships or whose members share a familiarity at the least. You would be wise to not be combative or argumentative when someone offers you help, even if that help comes with a side of "rude" comments.
Negative comments can and do help. They tend to limit the questions that can invariably answered by RTM. They generally suggest a way to ask appropriate questions, though perhaps not in the friendliest of terms. And then they drive off those who aren't interested in helping the community as a whole. -Jonathan On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 3:32 PM, techconnect <[email protected]>wrote: > I never expected anyone to help, I asked. > > > This is a volunteer forum.
