I do not understand that sentence at all.

What were you trying to say?

I find it quite irritating to have to keep asking further questions when you're trying to help people who are drip-feeding information.

Could you elaborate on that point a bit, please?

I can add another, fluffnutter:

• give as much information as you feel is necessary in your first post

Yeah, absolutely. I guess some posters, particularly new ones, might not be aware of how much information they can post but it's a bit frustrating to be faced with 'I've got a problem with a company. What should I do?'

Ditto

then sometimes you give advice and its not the advice they want to hear

The guys signature says 'your stupid' which I found amusing because it should have said 'you're stupid' as in you are stupid

No he is right, he is our "stupid" it can be a noun.

No he's wrong

''Yes You Have a Right To Your Opinion,

And I Have The Right To Think Your Stupid,''

he has the right to think you are stupid = you're stupid

There tends to be a correlation between posting drivel and not liking the inevitable unsympathetic responses and a later thread along the lines of 'why is everyone so mean on MSE?'.

If you want help and advice from strangers it pays to stick to a few basic principles..

* don't appear greedy
* do have a genuine problem
* don't throw your teddies out of the pram if someone is unhelpful - the more you draw attention to the posts that have upset your fragile ego, the more others will join in.

I'd add another to that list.

Don't moan that people are being unhelpful just because they're telling you you have no legal entitlement to what you want to get and it's not what you want to hear.
