You're right! No one disagrees with you here. You'll get the same
answer everywhere you go! It's universally understood/accepted
support mailing list etiquette to research your issues first before
posting, to the best of your ability.

Nope! While it's universally understood/accepted support mailing list
etiquette to research your issues to the best of your ability first,
it's also universally understood/accepted support mailing list
etiquette to not be a jerk. While folks may have a bad day or let
their feelings slip or otherwise -- be a jerk -- it's not acceptable
anywhere. Is it understandable? Sure, it happens sometimes. Doesn't
make it right.

You're a jerk and a contrarian and I think the responses you're
getting in this thread show exactly what that's doing to *your*
reputation. And, by the way, you can call me Chris. There's really no
need to keep repeating my full name, as it's at the top of every email
I send. Chris is also in the signature. Use the signature.

While one could hope you're wanting this off the list because you've
finally realized how much you've embarrassed yourself, I know that,
sadly, that isn't true.
