in thread Constant variables

Damn, did you just sign up with AOL today? You actually think saying "Well, you're wrong" when helping someone out online is mean? Abigail-II donates time to help someone out, gives a perfectly good answer in a direct fashion, and you have the nerve to suggest that's impolite? Have you ever seen an online discussion before? This is as good as it gets buddy. I wish more people were this straightforward. I can't stand wasting my time reading the sugar-coated, carefully phrased, drivel that I so often get in response to questions. I just want an answer damn it! Enclose it in <youareafreakingmoron> tags if you need to, I don't care in the slightest and I'll still thank you.

Sheesh, I didn't know there were still any left.

    Sounds like the one who is signed up with AOL is you. There's a difference between being direct and flaming. Take a slice from Abigail's tone.

    Makeshifts last the longest.

      Yeah, mine was a flame in defense of direct answers. I thought that much was obvious.
