Some things just need sayin'.

It gets so discouraging at times. You want to help and give back, but then you come up against people who ask nonsensical questions, don't want to hear the answer, aren't willing to read the documentation or understand the examples, who persist in following a misguided path despite being told by everyone that it's the wrong way, or who want to jump feet-first into the deep end of the pool without knowing how to swim (or head-first into the shallow end).

You try to make allowances for differences in language, education, and experience, but sometimes it just gets to be too much and you have to walk away before your keyboard types something it shouldn't.

On the bright side, that's the minority. Most people here do listen, so knowing that you've been able to help someone who really appreciates it makes it worth the work.
