don't provide you with what you need, or fast enough.
I'm not sure how you whine over an email, but I thought that the point
of mailing lists was to talk to other people, and in part to get help
on things that you don't understand or don't know.
If I posted a question here every time I hit the most
minor of snags,
I would EXPECT some people to get annoyed with me.
I'm pretty sure that not eveyone here has the same knowledge or skill
set, so what's minor to you is probably not to other people that have
no knowledge of it.
In any case, I've learned that IT people can't communicate well, and can
be a pain in the ass to deal with because we generally have bad
interpersonal skills. You can do a lot of hard work and try to please
people here, but you still get yelled at for doing a "disservice"
or "not a good enough job". Even if you work out your differences, it
wears down on you over time.
It's dumb arguments like this one that drive people like me away from
this community.
