Wow. Excuse my language, but when did this list turn into a pissing contest? >From what I read of this thread, all she was asking for was a simple answer. Unfortunately, I don't know said answer, so I never responded until reading these last few drama-filled crapfests. I do agree that Cara or another mod needs to step in, however. This is getting way out of hand.

You know Jenny with that damned attitude you cannot possibly expect help. FOr the love of God can't you at least indicate that you tried to find the bloddy answer first!!!! THe way you ask all of your questions indicates to me that you have not even attempted to look at the help files etc. You do know how to use the search facilities on GOogle do you not? Do you know how to use the help facilities in the application? You know some of your questions are so confusing that it is not even clear what you are talking about at times. I should know better than to even waste time encouraging you to do the research because this is exactly the type of response I should expect. You most definitely come across as though you want to be fed the information just in the way you post your messages. No one minds helping you, but at least demonstrate you have tried. As far as the podcast is concerned I am truly unclear as to how you become more confused. You talk about how it is not the way you learn, so then explain how you do learn. You cannot expect folks on the list to know your learning style and sit down to write mini tutorials with "step 1 open the application" etc. If that is what you want then say so, otherwise how does anyone know how to feed you information. > So I guess I'll just be to lazy to lower myself to help you in the future and your crappy attitude certainly took care of that. > > Good luck, you're going to need it. > > On May 5, 2012, at 4:06 PM, Jenny Keller wrote: > >> If I knew where to look for that information I wouldn't inconvenience anyone with my question. >> >> As far as wanting to be spoon fed, I can't help if I've tried to learn things by pod casts and it completely overwhelms me and I end up more frustrated and confused than I started out. >> >> If that's the way people feel on this list, then tell me then, what is this list for then if we can't ask simple questions and get simple answers. >> >> If I'm going to be treated in this manner, I'll just not ask anything and consider unsubscribing to this list altogether if it is too inconvenient for me to ask questions without just being handed a pod cast. >> >> That, in my opinion, is taking the lazy way out anyway, cause it prevents you from having to lower yourself to answer such a simple and insignificant question. >> >> Again, what is this list for if you can't get simple and understandable answers to simple questions. >> >> If I wanted a pod cast, I would've looked one up. >> >> Excuse me for bothering those of you that are just too good to answer my simple question. >> >> Again, I'll just not say anything and again, if I can't get answers to simple questions, but others do't get treated that way, then this list will certainly leave my inbox. >> >> Jenny >> On May 5, 2012, at 12:19 PM, Scott Howell wrote: >> >>> Have you tried reading the help files? THey contain a lot of information and there is also Google. You really expect someone to produce a step-by-step tutorial on iCal just for you? No offense, but it seems to me that you have not researched the questions very thoroughly on your own and just want to be spoon-fed the information. Asking for help is fine and encouraged, but it seems that you would ask only when you have already tried finding the answers elsewhere. There are plenty of resources and the podcast someone suggested is a great way to learn how to use an app. >>> Of course then you seem to get cross with folks because they won't just give you what you want when you want it and I hope you understand you are being unfair to those who are providing you the resources. >>> >>> On May 5, 2012, at 11:05 AM, Jenny Keller wrote: >>> >>>> I need to know what those lists like friends and family, and stuff are for. >>>> >>>> I don't understand all that stuff, though I did learn how to delete a reminder. >>>> >>>> I have a list of reminders and all of them are coming up though I thought I had other reminders.
