I picked no. 2. Then you spend half the thread trying to extract fromt his person his real meaning, and you almost feel bad because you can't help, but then you realize that it's just because they cannot communicate effectively.
Sometimes I wonder why some people can't be bothered to write proper English. If it's not your first language then that's another story, but when your name is Kyle Brady from Baltimore there should be no excuse.

Hmmm Marks going to be away and his cheese will be all alone, anyone thinking what I am?
Good luck, may you have plain sailing all the way

wow, with the youngest at 19, you'll have the youngest at 0 pretty soon...
I think short distance moves are really hard because it's not worth paying a mover, and that means pizza, beer and relatives, lol...
Good luck with your day tomorrow, Mark. Yikes!

*slips single Cheez-It into envelope and STAMPS it*
We're moving our grandparents this weekend. We took 8 carloads down yesterday. Today we're resting for the big push tomorrow... everyone will be up there before 7AM to start loading the moving van. Good news is that the youngest in our family is almost 19 years old, and we don't have to deal with animals for this move.

I've probably done it, too. Phooey on me.
I know, I know, it's just another three weeks of mayhem, then one week in a car with two kids and two cats and one husband (and one tenuous grasp on sanity), THEN move in and unpack.
Except my china, which Mark is waiting for. I figure he'll get that when I get my CHEESE.

I totally love helping people who want to learn. Anyone who even sounds like they had the smallest "ah ha!" moment I will help until the end of time.
I feel a better knowing I'm not the only person driven bonkers by this. But Peter, you're right, that's why we're here, or at least why *I* am here -- to help people.
With people like Kyle, I just hope that someone lurking is getting good value from the discussion, or at least will read that and provide an url FIRST when asking why code doesn't work, or figure out how to communicate the problem when asking.
I guess part of my problem with Kyle is that he doesn't seem to believe in a search engine, or reading the documentation.
Definitely moving stress. Definitely.

Number 4 for me.
It's funny, some people just never evolve into problem solvers, but I guess that's why we're here!

I voted number one as well but what is really annoying is Joec or whatever he's calling himself openly admitting that he just copies someone elses code completely, even if it's asp, and then can't be bothered to even learn what it is!!!

I marked number 1. But was really ticks me off is when people don't want to learn. Like that atnext guy. Blood suckers who try to get free work out of you without showing any gratitude or interest in learning how to do it for themselves.
Like the saying, "If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime."
I understand that not everyone can do certain everything, but for pete's sake, everyone can learn to think!

I know what you could do! Refer him to someone else.
*Now I know I had better run...hehe*
Chat with you all sometimes Sunday. Have to go do my thang on the meat wagon for 24 in just a few hours.
P.S. Gee, I sorta feel back to normal now. I had quiet a long vacation from TWF. Didn't realize how much I missed it till I got back in the swing of things this week.

lol, trust me, Sonia, there is no way you're going to find Mr. Kyle as a moderator any time soon! So conversely, you won't find anything here about you but kudos.
You must have been non-annoying, because I don't even remember that, but I remember almost every post with Mr. Kyle totally not being helpful in getting his questions answered.
*sigh*
Must be the moving stress!
