OK, we're generally nice people over here at tehgeekery(OMFGLOL11!!!) but I for one don't appreciate people who drop in, don't introduce themselves, expect us to solve all their problems and then leave. If you are looking for tech support, perhaps you should try posting your problems in a tech support forum.

We're not a help desk. Do not be surprised if you get rude answers or no answers at all.

Unplug your computer. It's the only cure.

Woah! Isn't that a little drastic? All Dc wanted was COMPUTER help... is that the slang you kids use today?

"Yeah, mom, Billy asked me if I could help fix his computer."

"Alright dear, just make sure if he asks to check your plumbing to come straight home."

"Mom you are so last century..."

 You use "?" twice in your comment, yet you fail to ask an actual question.  Why is that?

Boy, I wish I knew of this technique last week, when I was struggling with another HN questions-only thread? Rather than tortuously rephrase everything I wanted to say in the form of a question, all I needed to do was add a question mark on the end of whatever I'm posting? Brilliant? I'll have to remember that for next time?

Why, in an environment where you are represented only by the letters that you type into a text box, an avatar that you can pick form a limited list, and perhaps a signature quote/image, would you want to use anything other than proper English?

We aren't going to love you because we're related. We aren't going to love you because you are hung like a horse. We aren't even going to love you because we agree with you. But, we'll hate you less if you give us the respect of proper punctuation, sentence structure and clearly thought out comments.

This isn't a chat room. This isn't high-speed stuff, here. You have the entire world at your fingertips; why not use it? We'll wait while you spell check your comments. We'll even forgive the occasional mistake. We all make errors sometimes.


Type; Spell check, Read; Think; Reread; Think some more, click submit. Anything less and you're not likely to last.

In all seriousness, enough already. Levy, please ead your step-by-step guide to salvation here for your benefit. I'm really hoping you're able to accomplish several of those tasks, if not all, in short order.
