rickmoen Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 As one of the co-authors, I'm delighted people enjoy "How to Ask Questions the Smart Way". The only thing I'd like to add is: PLEASE do not e-mail us authors under the mistaken impression that we're an MS-Windows helpdesk! A fellow has already done so, based on the posting in this forum, which is how I became aware of the postings here. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Often, the person telling you to do a search has the manual or the web page with the information you need open, and is looking at it as he types. These replies mean that he thinks (a) the information you need is easy to find, and (b) you will learn more if you seek out the information than if you have it spoon-fed to you. So true...
