I agree with the original poster (Arie). A lot of original posts are way too general and don't provide enough info. In those cases, it would be nice if the poster would say something like, " Could anyone tell me their most helpful link where I can get a lot of starter information."
Of course I know there are lots of impolite people who don't do this. Just like there are a lot of rude people who will walk through a door that I am holding open for them and they don't acknowledge you or say "thank you". It's irritating as all hell and sometimes I want to vent my frustration as well.
Arie, I know what you mean. Don't let the rude people bother you. When you see an impossibly general lazy question, just say "Give more details". If they don't, then don't waste your energy on those people.
