Perhaps I was a bit unfair in my questioning,
perhaps I should quit clicking on links that have horrible subject lines,

But in all honesty I try to help out where I can and when I see a subject like this, I answer it if I can, and usually gently remind someone that there is a better way of posting queries.

However, when someone has been around for a few dozen posts, and are still doing such things I find a healthy dash of scarcasm appropriate at times, as subtler methods might not have worked.

How long is it before a grade school teacher places the name of a student on a paper who forgot to do so before handing it in, and just starts throwing said paper away?

*Perhaps I was out of line, it was the end of the day on friday of a week of torture at work, however I still stand behind the principle if not my method of response.
