Why do you bother? Maybe to assist a community member in need of an answer? Sometimes a quick interpretation from someone who knows is better than trying to decipher tomes of web data. If you don’t want to assist our community, why do you read and reply with attitude? We have an opportunity to support, teach and learn here, let’s use this forum with responsibility, compassion and kindness, not nasty condescending commentary.
Because sometimes community members don't do all the things they should do before asking their questions. It often takes maybe 15 seconds to find an answer for themselves. Or they ask it here and waste 100,000 members time while they read the question and decide to/or not answer. And to take up how much bandwidth for this to reach worldwide. And often the answers I see indicate that other community members actually don't know so we have the blind leading the blind. I read and reply with attitude because I want to shock people into learning to help themselves. There are a heap of questions on here that I consider very relevant and I will do my best to help, can't stand people who aren't prepared to do the basics themselves. I see you used the word, responsibility, but I often don't see that being applied. Too many people use reading the manual as a last resort because often they are too lazy to look for themselves. Probably the same people who park in disabled parks because they might have to walk too far.
