you always see help here. go to www.belg88.com/faqman to see dozens of answers to popular questions that people who post regularly on this forum have put together in their spare time as a community service. Has zombie90210 contributed a single sentence? no. he is too busy saying how great he is and wasting your time with bullshit.

I never said that I am great. It is the truth that hardley anybody here will actually help people out(unless the person needing help is using what *YOU WANT* them to use). Over at places like Neowin people can actually get help for about anything they want because Neowin has a HUGE mixed community. Over here people will only get help for non-MS stuff(stuff that 90%+ of the world uses). Me giving him the correct help for his problem is not wasting his time with BS. Telling him to get another browser is wasting his time with BS.
Maybe he wants IE or needs IE. Maybe he doesnt want to run into all of the rendering problems, site incompatabilites, the bugginess, etc. of other browsers.
BTW, the only time you see me post BS at IHA is when I post in MacInTrash(the forum dedicated to BS). I don't post at IHA very often anyways so you my friend are an idiot.

I'll make you a deal. If you go hang out at that web site from now on and stay outta here, we'll be more than happy to forward these poor souls to you so you can help them with their problems. And we won't give them any shit.

Actually I kinda not agree with you on this!
I find the people at these forums very helpful, granted not all of them are equally helpful, but still .... ;)
Every single time I had a Linux problem and asked here about it somebody helped me out or at least tried to.
The fact is, why come to an anti-MS forum to get Windows help?
If any of those Windoids bothered to look at a few posts before asking for help they would know that this isn't the right place for that.
There's annoyances.org and tons of other sites around where you can go and ask for Windows help.
Another fact is, lots of the questions asked about Windows are really easy to answer, and if any of these people even bothered to stfw they surely would find a solution to their problem.
Asking immediately without even doing some kind of effort on your own is the easy solution and I can certainly understand the reluctance of some members to give Windows help, and this for all reasons mentioned above.

ACtually, I agree that people shouldn't be asking for MS software help at an Anti-MS site. However, since you people claim that other stuff is so much better but lack the knowledge of how to properly do stuff with MS software makes it look like the only reason you use other software is because you don't know how to properly operate the MS software. If you don't know the software that you hate how can you possibly make an educated claim that the other stuff is better? You have to know both pieces of software inside and out before you can fairly compare them.

No way man. This place is great for entertainment. You will never get rid of me until I get tired of the entertainment this place provides. ;P

That's why I always qualify my non-help with "I know the answer to your question but it would not be approapriate to give you that answer on an anti-MS forum, try http://www.windowsbbs.com/".
