Now, be fair. At least half of the replies will be "works fine for me." Equally useless, of course.
There's still a fair amount of "RTFM NOOB" out there. And let's not forget the ever-popular "THIS HAS BEEN ASKED BEFORE DO NOT MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF YOU MORON" rants.
Followed, of course, by five pages of "XYZ WHY ARE YOU SUCH A KNOB?" / "IM NOT A KNOB YOUR A KNOB" / "NO YOU ARE" / "NO YOU ARE"....
Not unique to Linux forums, of course; but when all of the "support" is forum-based, you run into it a lot.
