Very good point Mitch. I think the different personality that can be brought out by being isolated behind a computer monitor goes both ways.
On the receiving end of a question, you can say what you want. The guy can't punch you, right? As long as your virus and malware protection is up to date, you can do what you want. (IMG:

When I'm at a track I have very rarely been asked the same question more than once so it's also less likely I'll become irritated at the person asking the question. I also know they have no search function to spend a few minutes checking for themselves before asking me.
On the asking end of a question, computers make it so much easier to bang out a quick question and then be on your way to other fun links. You just sit back and wait for other people to do the work that way. However, computer forums also have pretty good search functions, and I do consider it irresponsible for a forum user to just ask a question without even attempting to do a search first. I don't get mad at them and call them an assclown, but many times I'll do the search myself and then send them a link. That's a subtle hint to try a search the next time.
