Another is entitled to ask questions here, but is it too much to show us who
you are ?
If you are a student, you have an .edu account, right ?
If you are an engineer, you have your company's .com email other than
msn,yahoo or hotmail, right ?
If you don't have a .com or .edu address, at least you can tell us where you
come from, right ?
This is not AA or Dr. Drew Show, if you seek help, at least have the
courtesy to identify yourself. Is that too much to ask for ?

For what it's worth ...

All questions are acceptable in the right forum at the right time.  
Sometimes it's a matter of personal taste, preference, tolerance and 
blood sugar level at the time.  However, I find myself becoming 
frustrated, disgusted, cranky and generally ignore posts when I intuit 
one of the following:

1) The person posting is asking a tool-related question that should be 
answered by an AE.

2) The person posting is asking a tool-related question and has 
obviously not RTFM.

3) The person posting is most likely using unauthorized software.

4) The person posting is most likely part of an off-shore outsourcing 
group and is trying to acquire information without effort.

5) The person posting is replying to one of the above and naively trying 
to be helpful.


cheers,

scott
