I UNDERSTAND that! But my point is - he had to answer the guy anyway, so why not just do it nicely. Who wants to come to a website if the host of that site isn't nice to people? There ARE, believe it or not, some people who are very new to the internet and aren't exactly up on all the protocol.
Jeff, I mean no disrespect, believe me. It's just that I have been to so many different websites and communities, and everywhere I go, I see mods and managers copping attitudes. It really isn't necessary. We are all people and we all have feelings, and there are many different situations we are in that may cause us to ask "stupid" questions sometimes. But they aren't stupid to us.
