Subject: Re: Can we boycott lazy posters?
Hi Auto

On the whole I do boycott them ;-) - but there are people who arrive
here and don't appreciate there are other, more appropriate Groups to
post in and are grateful for a steer.

Equally, there will always be people who post, convinced that they are
right and Google is wrong and just seeking validation for their pov.
Sometimes I can get a little testy with these people, but it's the
blame culture - it happens in every sphere, the refusal to accept that
you may be at fault and you can't blame someone else for your failure.

The assumption that everyone is entitled to have their site returned
well, however poor it is, can be annoying, mostly because they don't
respect the priceless advice they are given here or understand the
huge depth of knowledge on offer.

You give an awful lot of time and put in a great deal of effort here,
Auto, and you're obviously helping a lot of people. Don't let the
other sort get to you, nil carborundum illegitimi.
