Sure, that applies to children asking questions to their parents or teachers. It applies less when you call technical support; though the support staff will usually remain patient and polite as long as you pay good money for your support contract. It doesn't apply at all to computer professionals sending out their questions to thousands of people all around the world, hoping for free help from volunteers. Ouch. Now i have lowered the signal-to-noise ratio for everybody, too. Sorry, Ingo
