Words I have lived by:
It's not what you know
It's not what you don't know
It's what you don't know you don't know
That can ruin your day
Over the years I have visited numerous Forum sites seeking answers and help. I noticed many have a sticky at the top of the Home Page and Search Result Page to help the forum infants help themselves, if they will read it. As I have just registered here, I am asking if this is something that has already been given consideration? Valuable or not?
Some infant behavior I have observed is "Help Me" as a heading; non-descriptive. Expecting someone else to do all their research for them; although the forum search engine does seem to find nothing or everything. Not including the steps already tried to remedy their issue; posting "tried that" repeatedly wastes valuable time. No system details.
I think the issue is the infants won't know what they don't know unless someone tries to explain it to them. There will always be those who just don't get it. We try to help them anyway. As new Windows move to retail, those who seek help will have vastly varying abilities. Isn't it true that the infants will be the most difficult to help, but are also those who most need our help?

For the grammar/sp nazi in me, use "it's" contraction, not "its" possessive.

Donald Rumsfeld is that you?
Not off to a good start with the first post being this, sorry.

Its OK, really. The Misses is an English major and has for the past 30 or so years been correcting my spelling and grammar. She just can't be looking over my shoulder all the time. I appreciate someone who catches those things and is willing to speak up! Originally Posted by Sammy Donald Rumsfeld is that you?

I meant I was not on a good start with this being my first post, sorry for the confusion.
I'm going to lay down coming off the pain killers and antibiotics are making me feel weird.

I'm sorry ciphernemo, but you have failed your own grammar scrutiny. Originally Posted by ciphernemo For the grammar/sp nazi in me, use "it's" contraction, not "its" possessive.

You can't learn knowledge. You acquire it, just as you do wisdom.

Pain killers can be a pain to get off of ... I know. Tell me about it 11 years on Percodan and Morphine. I go thru hell if I go 12 hrs without taking my meds.

Yeah, I agree. Infants isn't a very appropriate term though Originally Posted by iseeuu Words I have lived by:

Robert . But isn't part of the fun of helping, doing the research etc., finding drivers and so on?
It is for me. Don't really like easy jobs. I'm ice
