Out of curiosity, do you know how to answer a question without making whoever asked it out to be a fucking idiot? I mean, it's great that you have the answers. Someone's got to, right? But do you have to treat the person who asked the question like some sort of nasty thing you scraped off your shoe, just because you have an answer?
I realize that there are summaries, and that it's annoying to you die-hards that people come along and, even when they HAVE read the summaries, manage to have missed some tiny tidbit and therefore ask a question about it. I've seen other people come along, answer the question, and politely say, "But you know, that was answered in the summaries. Next time around, why don't you take a look at those, and if you can't find the answer to your question, come on back here and we'll do our best to help you out."
Or is it just because you're too fucking bored to do anything else, and feel that because you're possessed of this font of useless information, you should be able to piss on people who aren't?

I realize this will probably start a flame war, for which I apologize in advance. But I've never seen people get attacked with the regular vehemence I've seen on this board. I know alot of us are from Jersey, but c'mon, guys - are we really THAT bad?
