I don't ignore every PM I get, but most of them are questions about a system Ii posted, and the answers are in the thread.

It's usually something they don't understand, and I'm more than willing to answer questions. But most of the questions would involve rewriting everything over again, so what's the point? Just go back and read the instructions again.

It's not like I explain my systems with minimal details as to leave the reader clueless. If I do see a question that isn't covered, then I'll be happy to explain.

When I post a simple math workout like add 21 and keep adding 21, I'll get a PM asking me to do the workout for them because they don't understand. Well, i can't explain it any easier than I already did. There's only one way i know to write.."Add this to this and add that to that". lol

Sometimes I copy and paste a portion from the thread they lack understanding to a PM, and I get a "thank you for explaining" response. It was the same exact thing I wrote in the thread.

Basically it's just laziness, and i don't have the time to rewrite everything. Sorry if that's not good enough.

With all the asking I see OGGivens doing here on lottery post. Youd think he owes some question answering. Then again, if its not benefiting him ...Why care

"Then again, if its not benefiting him ...Why care"

I know some say they're here to help others but the truth is we're all here trying to help ourselves.

Very funny and quite true!

Which reminds me, one time I asked this cop if he preferred dunkin donuts or krispy creme.

He didn't answer me. All he said was "Is that an open container?"

What a rude <snip>!

When you ignore people's questions; you make them upset

When you make them upset; they drive away aggressively

When they drive away aggressively; they get pulled over

When they get pulled over; they give the police officer an attitude

When they give the police officer an attitude; they spend the night at the police station.

Don't get people spending the night at the police station! Be polite and say you don't know

If someone asked you a question for help and you completely ignored the question. Never responded and made up your mind not to reply. Is this being rude?

Do you consider this rude? Do you really try to answer all questions or only ones asked by people you know? We all know what they say about "Karma"....

I myself try to answer all question asked if I know the answer and if I don't i will point the person in the right direction. I never ignore any questions asked to me... "Clicks are for kids"

Honesty and arrogance it's two different things. IGNORING A QUESTION IS RUDE ..YOU CAN RESPOND BY SAYING I DON'T KNOW .. I DON'T HAVE TO GIVE .AM NOT SURE .. HANGING UP ON ANYONE. IS CHILDISH .. AT LEAST YOU BEING HONEST.HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY ..WE ALL HUMANS NO NEED TO B RUDE BACK TO THE PERSON WHO WAS RUDE TO U IN THE FIRST PLACE ..YOU RESPOND BACK RUDELY YOU BECOME LIKE THEM AND HAVE CHEATED YOUR SELF OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE .IT'S OK TO B CORDUAL..!!

What gets counted as "rude" is their reaction to an honest answer. Most questions you hear are people looking for confirmation. You get more for sugar than for salt. Just look at political promises going steady with a 17 trillion dollar middle class crushing deficit.

So i say when you get a no win senario question just run with it: "Of course i will respect you in the morning!"

Maybe a night in jail if what a grown-up acting like a child needs to teach him to grow up and get real.
