    You know, I don't mind helping him, but there are times I really have to wonder how he got to where he is. Some of the questions in his posts remind me of people just entering the profession with no real-world work experience.

    I just don't have the patience any longer to go back and forward for several days on a single issue. It gets my temper up and when that happens my posts and explanations are rushed and poor-quality.

    We need a heavy bag at work. A quick five minutes would make this stuff easier to deal with.

    You aren't the only one. I'm almost positive he's talking about me. The funny thing is I don't ever recall seeing the name on any other posts.
