    The C# Q&A is similarly effected. I vote down then answer with why I Univoted. That way it drops out of the "Unanswered" list as well.

    If the question is badly set-out, I'll give them the chance for more info. If it is skoolkid asking sndcdzplz, then I'll answer it off the list.

          Is it just good ol hippy java kids who can't ask questions or are the other subjects suffering the same dross in the Q&A forum? I really want to be able to help and I get a warm fuzzy feeling from seeing an answer helping someone. But the f'in' questions that are appearing are allmost wothout exception: How to [Activity] How do I do [Activity] in java? Please help! All that's missing is sndcdzplz. Should I just answer CListCtrl?

            Me too , I only do the answer thing for "I don't know how to [insert easily googleable, yet untried, process here] Snd Codez Plz" Type posts. Bad English / formatting usually just gets a message asking them to clarify / tidy up. In that case I don't generally vote either.

              I should make a calculator that works in Yoda Notation.... It's kind of like Reverse Polish, but instead of [arg1][arg2][operator], it's [arg2][arg1][operator]. [I] [should make] [a calculator] becomes [a calculator] [I] [should make] Would get really confusing with anything but addition and multiplication...

                But they didn't care about that, because they create new id's in CP for every questions when they feel old one is in trouble or something like that.:cool:

                ...but simply to remove these questions from my view from the view of all other CPians. (having them greyed out / marked with a low score is enough for quick visual filtering. I don't insist on them being removed from view totally.) If they do care, the can at least ask for an explanation why it was voted down.

                      Nah, that's not the same, though... Yoda wouldn't say "Blue is the car" or "The car blue is"... He'd say "Blue, the car is" Normal: "The car is blue" Reverse Polish: "The car blue is" Yoda: "Blue, the car is"

                          Ok, I have an image in Java, I want the user to draw shapes on top of the image and then I want the entire image to be rotated, then after finished I still want them to be able to undo the shape drawing.

                                I actually had to do it back before Java 2 which is why I had it on the top of my head. Such an annoying task but you wanted a question you could answer now get cracking everything but the speed part was relatively easy.

                                  Worthy of a 5.

                                  All right, you guys, I got eight crates of Ipecac from Mort. All on my tab. Now, whoever goes the longest without puking gets the last piece of pie in the fridge.
