Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)
i have often posted and reviewed these forums for help with my windows
systems. in the past, i have had great detailed "help". lately i notice it
is really more of a "see this web page or see that web page" if the
information referenced were not so vast, this would be a good idea. it gets
to be a bit much to have to search through a massive confusing web page.
instead of getting a complete pc history lesson, including refernces to steve
jobs and the 1970's (kidding) how about some real answers. or maybe
this...if it gets so annoying answering the same questions all day, then
create a help/ support forum archive, with good posts, and include it as a
part of the forum. maybe sort of an additional "faq" page or something.
i just read a post by a tech who did not know the consumer was using a sata
hard drive and stated "i would not even have responded". well la di frickin
da. is that not why you are here? how did microsoft's customer feel? i am
sure if he knew enough about it, then he would just fix it himself, without
annoying the techs. i also read a post about snow falling upwards in some
game or another. and it took at least two techs to scold the guy for posting
in the wrong forum. when i view the posts, sometimes just for the education,
i focus on posts that have many responses as i get more information to
consider. having multiple "scoldings" in one post just makes it look like
something i wish to learn from, a question with many answers. my bad, it
was just something i stepped in, i do believe.
i think you all need a break. can i offer a cup of camomile tea?
