It seems that everyone in this thread spends their spare time shooting things :exclamationmark::-D
I prefer making sawdust as my form of therapy.

Plugging in my guitar and turning the volume to 11 works for me. After that, I can't even hear the developers.

Oops, wait. I'm a developer.

It's better stress relief than choking developers.

I find that people have a better chance of learning if they aren't choked too often.

My therapy has too forms - firearms and food. Once is loud and the other is peaceful, but both are enjoyable. I don't listen to much else when doing either one.

Silver Spoon really doesn't seem to care about learning anything. Just the answer, that's all he is interested in.

I really hope there is someone else there who knows more for when the **** really hits the fan.

I would if I had any firearms. There are two I would like to get but my money is otherwise spoken for at the moment.

But if you keep giving them the answers they will continue. Then the cycles starts all over again the next time they encounter the same new thing they have encountered in the past and didn't learn it last time but they did learn that the folks at SSC will just give them the answer. :w00t:

Some of the posters here cannot help but assist, even when it is plain that those seeking assistance are not even trying to help themselves. The cycle continues.

Have no fear. When it really hits the fan, we'll know about it. They'll ask the same question 3 times when it happens.

One recent poster kept asking over and over again why he was getting an error whilst trying to do something he'd already been told was impossible, had to bite my tongue and decided just to mark that user as "capa tosta"

Admittedly, I feel like I am one of those who assist too much sometimes. However, I am learning to recognize them...at the very least the repeat offenders. I should keep a blacklist.
