I liked the podcast even more than the editorial.

I don't think you were only pointing at those asking questions when you suggested we needed to treat others as we wanted to be treated. That's directed at those who try to answer the questions too. I think most people who answer questions around here, or at least those who post frequently, say the top 10, really do know that as well. And yes, getting a more complete answer for each question you post would be nice, but far to frequently the questions being asked are similar to, if not identical to questions that were asked earlier that day or earlier that week. That's why some of the top posters, such as Gail, write nice long detailed blog posts describing some behavior or other and the simply point the people questioning to that post. Did she "answer" their question? No. Did she provide them information to solve their problem? Yes. Since the top posters are all doing this for free, I don't think it's even remotely unreasonable for them to ask those posting questions to meet them half way. Or at least a 1/4 of the way. Further, I think they should absolutely be able to expect to be treated with respect. When I see people getting nasty, I generally stop posting on the thread (I slipped up & engaged once. I regret it). I think a lot of others do as well.

So, if you really want help and you're not just trying to kick up some mud, to get maximum eyeballs, be nice.
