Question about useless answers to posted questions

Maybe this will start a nice debate and some fun around here, but it is a
question that has to be asked.

Why is it that some people give people with questions such a hard time? I
can understand if they are violating rules and regulations but I have seen a
number of valid questions about any number of topics. Some of the answers
given have useful information provided, just a lot of jibberish which someone
feels the need to spew.

Like I said previously, if it is a question whose answer is going to violate
rules, spew away but, I have noticed that the majority of the unanswered
questions are coming from people new to the forum. THIS IS NOT GOING TO GET
THEM TO STICK AROUND AND CONTRIBUTE. If anything they will post a question,
get a ridiculous answer and not come back.

Thanks for your time.

You seem to understand the reasoning behind some of the responses, but
please provide recent examples of said legitimate questions receiving spew.

As for the unanswered questions, you are as always welcome to answer them.

Please to be emailing <> for all your br@indump

However, you need to take care of two things :

1. Make sure your tone in the email is very polite and respectful. It
helps to implore. The Admins are already overworked.

2. In the rare case, that your email bounces due to server overloads,
please post your primary email address, along with the text of the

Cerebrus.

And so it begins.........

Maybe the responder could have said something along the lines of... "hey
dumps are considered cheating... how about finding practice tests and a study
guide"

Do you get what I mean??? The answer provided no help to the poster, instead
the guy/gal (cerebrus) took the opportunity to make fun of someone instead of
giving a real answer. The poster still has no idea that dumps are cheating,
all he knows is that if he writes to this address, someone will send some
questions.

So, instead of posting an informative answer to the posters question,
Cerebrus merely uses his/her fatuous wit to make the poster feel that their
email will be returned with some type of help for their test.

Maybe a question could have been posed to the poster to find out if he was
actually referring to br@indumps or was in fact looking for advice on where
to find legitimate practice tests.

And, as I continue to look through the rest of the responses, I notice that
you (Tbone) were not at all helpful either to the poster with your answer of
"Hmmm... Try cheatsheets at mcngp dot com."

So I guess I am responding to the wrong person on this one huh?

I don't see any posts that day according to
http://groups.google.ca/group/micros...tion?lnk=gschg

Then again, you may be getting dates mixed up because you aren't using a
real newsreader. Perhaps I should expand. Provide a link to a useful
question that received a useless answer.

Because everyone knows that braindumps are cheating. People looking for
braindumps don't care that its cheating and are treated as such. Those
of us who aren't newbs to this newsgroup realize that.

On the contrary, the response from that address will be tailor-made to
the information they ask for.

And as I said before, you are also welcome to answer their question in
whatever manner you deem appropriate.

Well, he had the wrong address the first time. I was just trying to be
helpful. I thought your problem was about people not being helpful.

Heck, I don't even need copy and paste I can just click the durn'd
thang. It seems to be giving me a feeling of deja vu for some reason.

IE: I was referring to a direct link.

NB: The standard for news post links for the rest of the world is to use
google groups.

> Maybe you are not that familiar with the Microsoft Learning Newsgroup

I am familiar with it. However I use an actual newsreader. Anyway,
M.P.certification is a *newsgroup*, not a website. MS just choses to
offer a web-based news interface for the technically disadvantaged.

However, as the date of the post changes based on time-zone
adjustements, lets get away from that. I know the post you are referring
to and anyone stupid enough to come to a microsoft newsgroup asking how
to cheat on microsoft exams deserves what they get. So that is not a
useful question relevant to the topic of the newsgroup.

So, back to the original question, please provide a link to a useful
question that received nothing but useless answers.
