You get the right to make your request extra high priority when you're paying for support. Noone here is being paid, we're all giving of our free time. I mentally file anything marked that was as something to consider answering a day or three later if I'm bored and it only garners sarcastic responses. Judging by other peoples responses (or lack there of) the only thing less likely to get a quick accurate response is obvious homework/malware creation questions.

I agree this message belongs in the Lounge, not in the programming area. As far as the message itself: Of course they have every right to do so. Others also have the right (and should) ignore those posts, since they are usually kids who didn't do their homework in a timely manner.

No harm in asking. No one is going to kick you or punch you in the face.

But does he deserve it? Needs are not automatically met, otherwise there would be no starving children in Africa.

Most people post because they (1) Don't know enough about the technology to get the right answer out of google, (2) Are too lazy to use google (3) Are trying to get someone to do their homework for them (4) .... Asking in a forum is not guarantee of an answer, let alone a fast one.

Yes, there is freedom of speech, and with those freedoms come the right to ask for what every you want. For example: I want a luxury penthouse apartment with a view of the river. Will you give it to me? It is urgent!

Only because of a severe lack of planning. Most of the time I see "urgent" posts it is because the person didn't plan what they were doing. I'm about to embark on some ASP.NET development work involving Master and Content pages in ASP.NET 2.0. I've done ASP.NET before, but this is my first ASP.NET 2.0 project. I am therefore researching what I can and cannot do with this new technology. That way I don't end up making stupid assumptions and code myself into a corner which then requires "urgent" assistance to get out of again.

Actually, there is. When I see someone posting "urgent" or similar I often ignore it at first. My experience is that those posts are usually incoherent as well. They don't provide enough information and when they do you can see they've coded themselves into a corner and can't get out without destroying a lot of the work they have done already. I hate clearing up other people's messes and it means that I, personally, am less likely to respond. I'd imagine that there are other people like me also. So, in summary, please do not mark p

Well, that's not quite true now is it? People will sometimes put urgent in the title just to make it look more important than it is. Also, as others have testified here, this is often down to poor planning on the part of the person asking it. Look - as a simple rule of thumb. If it's urgent to you, try and at least google it before hand. Try variations of terms in google to see if you can get an answer. I've lost count of the number of times somebody has posted a question here, when google turns up relevant answers straight away. Note - if it is apparent that you haven't even tried to google it, you are either going to get a sarcastic answer, or you are going to be told to google for the answer. A lot of the people on this site are professional programmers who give their time freely to help others. We enjoy helping others, but we don't like having our time wasted. We will help you if you get stuck, but you must at least try to help yourself first.

Did you know that it's common practice to put at least one space after most forms of punctuation?

Well he does live in India where they have that condom problem... I know I'd be pissed off if I couldn't find a condom small enough to be of any real use... Silver lining: I think a company that makes zip-ties could really get a stranglehold on the "over-large" condom market there. Ooops. Since I said "condom", does this thread need to be moved to the soapbox?

What's your point? Did you miss a homework assingment because no one would respond to your URGENT need? Move it to the SB or lounge (as Colin did)
only two letters away from being an asset

I had an urgent need last night, but I made it to the bathroom before it transitioned to a full-on emergency.

One more thing to add. While I'm not, a number of people here are consultants, and if you really truely need urgent assistance, you may be able to buy it from them for their standard hourly rate. :laugh::laugh:
