FYI, I respond to quite a lot of questions and frequently get infuriated by the lack of information which you don't get even when you ask for it. This isn't just from new members either. And there is nothing worse than posting a long list of different ways to acheive something via standard vB settings manipulation and get a response like 'No, can't do that'. It's then like, 'why? do you get an error or something?' and then I am lucky to get a reply back.

From the perspective of someone who spends quite a lot of time responding to questions, there is only so much you can do when you don't get given essential information or the person asking the question gives nonsense answers or just never replies back to you.
