The ones about defragmenting in Windows 98 or ME.
Here's my question. Should be have hundreds of discusssions about this? Or should the forum member use the SEARCH?
With all due respect, I think a little search on the member's end will find the answer faster. There can also be a misunderstanding in the way I give my replies. I often try to show how the member can find their own answers and don't give the answer. The premise here is that "If you give a man a fish..." story.
Now that you know this, watch the almost apropo public service video at http://www.trials-shack.co.uk/posting.html

Sometimes, the replies to questions leave the impression that the questioner should do research outside the forum rather than come to the forum for answers. This has discouraged me from posting at times so that I feel the need to take some issues to other support forums, whereas I would like to be free to post my problems here. Most people unsophisticated in computer technology have a natural reluctance to "show their ignorance", even though the forum is for the purpose of eliminating that ignorance. If there is some kind of precondition to posting, that should be plainly stated in the forum rules. If there is not, individual experts should be reluctant to leave the impression that there is. From my perspective, posting questions on a support forum such as this is the optimum way to research a problem. I expect that all if not the big majority of posters are quite aware of the alternative to research other sources than this forum, and also aware of the great amount of time and perplexity that can involve. Perhaps I am wrong in thinking that the very purpose for the existence of this forum is to save people from the time and effort of reinventing the wheel.
