Because you only ever post to the effect that people should not post here ! The reason varies slightly but the result is always the same : "do a search", "if you have to ask that you're not cut out to be a contractor", etc etc.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostWhy does asking someone to do a search need a chill pill.
If you don't want to answer newbie questions you're not obliged to reply to them, if you do choose to reply why not be helpful ? I was far more interested in the OP's question than in your crass reply then self-justification in this thread. I repeat : take a break, or take a chill pill.
