That's because it is, much of the time. Sometimes it's hard to answer very simple questions without sounding superior.italianranma said:Anyway I just get the feeling sometimes that when you offer advice, you do it in a way that says "isn't the answer already staring you in the face?"
Easy questions-- ones with answers clearly listed in the rules-- don't usually make for interesting threads. Lots of people will just pass them by without bothering to answer. That means those people that do answer them, answer more than their share. So you end up with normally friendly posters, like Hyp, having lots of posts that boil down to "try reading the book, hoser."
