Shardonnay many times it is children and while they can be irritating it is sort of understandable. What blows my mind are the adults. Especially when they get all pissy because they can't follow a simple instruction. Granted we have all been there sometime or another but it seems to me if they are able to sign online they should be able to download a file. They may still need help with the placement of that file and thats fine. But not being able to download? Maybe I have owned a pc too long lol

Shardonnay:
I completely agree with you Kathy.  I can understand that the kids may need a little extra help and like you say we have all been there at some point.  But the adults well that’s something else.

I lurk at quite a few sites (professional lurker and download junkie) and have noticed recently that some people just seem to not be able to follow the advice they have been given, and then become quite rude towards the person who was trying to assist them.   I guess that’s one of the reasons I generally just lurk.  :wink:

kathy:
See I get that alot. I will give explicit directions on what to do and they get all nasty with me. After I have spent my time finding all the information for them do I get any thanks? No. I get a slap in the face. That's why half the time I don't even bother.

RGiles:
The people who drive me crazy are the ones who insist that their hand be held through everything. Pointing them to the information should be enough, if instructions have already been written up with pictures and everything. Then it's just too much.

kathy:
Maybe we are expecting too much by requiring them to read.
