Well, I read every single post and I only can say that, I'm very disappointed and saddened that situations like this still happen. There is not the first time that I offer my thoughts on people being sent to the library, which I call, "the dark room".
Libraries are like Google searches, can be most frustration if one is not much in tune with the correct questions to ask or to phrase the questions, some do it very naturally, others find it an absolute nightmare. I have also made known, what I think when I go to a forum with a question and I'm sent packing to the library, that is certainly the best way to make me not to want to ever have anything to do with that forum, period...!
I have said also a thousand times, if people asking questions such as this, bother you, please do not say/type anything, you will making a big favor to everyone, including to the name and principals/reputation of IAP, and allowing someone else that doesn't mind to take the time to answer direct questions, to do so...!
The thing is, I spend a considerable amount of my time, recommending people to visit and join IAP, the very first thing I say is that, "there is a good bunch of people always willing to help with any questions you may have...!" and with all due respect to everyone, sending someone packing to the library, is not the help I want them to have...!
Sure, we all get tired to answer the same questions all the time however, you will do a much better job by, ignoring the question/post if you are not in the mood for typing, or you are having a bad day, ( we all have those and we all know what comes out of our mouth's/heads, then) so, let it be, someone will come along and interact with this member and will try to assist him/her.
Sometimes, we all tend to forget how it all started for us, and how we went about it, I sure remember well those that jumped in to grab my hand and help across the street, even with the electronic madness of today's society, there are some of us that still appreciate the one to one interaction, the day forums such as this becomes an electronic bank of "general" answers, I will, stop my membership...!
Now, I don't need anyone to agree with me however, I don't need anyone to go off on me, just because then don't, I really would prefer that people be a little more generous with other members with these issues, I spend hours typing and take the time to be as detailed as I possible can to anyone, no exceptions, I don't expect that everyone has the time/willingness as I do to respond to answers or provide information as I do however, It makes me wonder if that is what makes certain people to put me on their "ignore" list...! with all due respect, your loss...!:wink::biggrin:
Putting someone off like that, is that really needed...???
Cheers
