It's only meant to be a reminder (quite similar to having your wife or
girlfriend constantly telling you to slow down <g>).

When all else fails read the Owners Manual, you'll be surprised at what you
can learn without bothering other people.

Or, call your salesman and he will answer your questions (or tell you to
read the Owners Manual).

I certainly don't mind helping people in this forum in an uncocky manner as
long as it is helping. When I do all the work for you and you fail to even
attempt to find the information on your own, other than posting here, then I
am not helping you I am doing the work for you.

If I am going to help someone then I expect them to put forth a little
effort beforehand.

What the do you think this group is for ? ****** like you cease
to amaze me. It would have taken less time to give him the answer than
lecturing him, or do you need to consult the manual as well?

halo2 guy is 100% right. This newsgroup does NOT exist to spoon feed
people the contents of the owner's manual to their shiny new $12,000
toys.

The real ***** is the guy who can't be bothered to read the owner's
manual, so he comes here asking to be spoon fed.
