I hardly think that it was necessary to snap in that manner; which
is blatantly offensive. Marius didn't say anything insulting in the
slightest. However, people's perceptions are what turn issues into
topics of debate or offense.

It does help to at least make the attempt to solve the problem your
self. Newbies (such as myself) that take the time to at least try a
fix can then have a more complete dialog while attempting to convey
to a guru/old hat what problem they are having, what error they are
getting. This allows people that -can- help -to- help, without
asking 400 questions about "are you aware of what hardware you're
using, if so, you didn't see the first 47 entries that are spit out
of a google search on 'Linux <insert hardware here> <insert error
message>'?"

I myself have asked questions without fully researching, and felt 10
IQ points dumber for not having searched google first. As an aside I
think part of the problem with not finding help in google is the
inability of most people on the planet to effectively search it. Of
course reading helps with that too. *shrugs* Anyhow, my yen on the
matter. ^_^

Sincerely,

Alex White
