I am just a lowly monk here, maybe that is why i was a little annoyed at some of the posts of last week ... especially those that seemed like being posted without any effort at all on the poster's part to phrase the question properly or to apply the answers to their previous questions to their very similar new problem. So I very much admired the patience and understanding of the monks who still replied to such posts ... may be qualities a monk needs to cultivate.

However, i seriously thought that some of those questions deserved nothing more than a pointer to "How do I post a question effectively?" as a first reply, perhaps by the moderator. If they really cared to learn, they would read it and get back with the questions better phrased, or better still, would probably search and find the answer in the archives here. And if they didn't care to, they are better gone.
