I haven't made comments like that, but I've certainly seen a lot of them. They have often annoyed me...not all of us have merlyn's expertise, and we don't all live in a major job center.

Some comments make a lot of sense. jcwren recently said something about whacking someone with a large stick that didn't bother me. In this case it was a statement about how the person in question was following very bad practices (Worse than use NT!)

Monks that make statements like: "You should try to convince them otherwise because of (blah)" are better than just "You should quit". "quit" statements are little more than "Sucks to be you".

Monks that say "You should change that as soon as possible, but in the _meantime_, here's an answer: (blah) don't bother me at all.
