Later, you revealed not only the P/N and link from TigerDirect, with your concerns about the reviews. i.e., you already knew things that you didn't tell us until days later. That is withholding information. In part, I actually understand the concern w/r/t googling (as a verb), as not all searches are equal. If you had told us about your efforts to search for an answer online, then others would have been able to help more efficiently. But I count nearly 30 messages on this topic, most of which have been a waste of time, because you withheld information. > I just didn't realize the obvious about > how to get it.

In this busy world, efficiency and courtesy is appreciated everywhere. You have not shown either to us, and that is disrespectful. > I'm not the only person who has asked simple questions on here > and I do not feel that a culture of don't get our attention by asking > any obvious questions is a healthy one.

People who cry wolf too often are rightly ignored. Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
