Again, it gets back to the reciprocal responsibility.

Someone wanting help, especially free help, should have the courtesy to make it as easy as possible for that help to be given.

There is a sometimes a certain arrogent expectation that the people who give their time, energy and expertise to help are servants. This expectation is typically expressed either by words or formatting. This attitude is unacceptable.

I have sometmies been sorely tempted to close posts that display this attitude (as well as giving an infraction of course), with a concluding post of my own requiring the user to show more respect to the Forum members.


Edit: As a sidenote to this, it really annoys me when I see users who only ask questions and never say a word of thanks or click the Thanks button. All you see is the next thread with another question .....
