I've received a lot of help in this forum (and
provided a bit). I too am a bit distresses that often
an innocent question, perhaps by a novice, results in
a "chewing out" for not using the "proper form"
(whatever that is).
I'm assuming the more needful a person is, the more
likely his question will be poorly formulated. That
doesn't offend me, as I'm sure it doesn't most.
Of course, now I will get my "chewing out" for having
made the statement.
