Albert. If you have a problem with the post, click the report link on the post. Don't drag it into the lounge. That's not cool.

You are probably right, but I can remember an annoying kid that also asked more questions than people had the time and the nerves to answer. The usual end of things was that the kid was thrown out of the store. That version of me from 1980 would not feel very welcome here and I try not to forget what it was like when I had more questions than answers.
With questions I have no problem. I know and appreciate that people can't know everything, else, why would CP exist if not for us to be able to learn from each other. But I do have a problem with

makes me wonder how one can go to a website to ask for help 2 hours before after struggling for days. It is something I have never been able to understand about the human race. Waiting till the last minute, most of the time.

Exactly... It wasn't the questions that annoyed me, it was asking me to do it for them...

I usually don't, but I also don't usually have someone go from asking questions to asking me to do it for them... Specially when I'm working at 1AM...

It's common in Q and A. Just vote the post down and move on to the next.

Look at the comments... It wasn't the questions that irked me, it was asking me to do it for them. I was fine with all the questions, as you can see... I was answering them.

As you can see by the 400+ answers I've provided to Q&A, I know its common, but I also haven't had someone ask questions simply to go on and just ask me to do it for them (theyre usually up front about it)... Makes it seem like a waste of time, specially when you're working late yourself

Dear lord, how've you managed to avoid 'em for so long? I turned off the email option on my profile because they used to mail me directly asking for help.
