Wow, that was harsh.

Subject: Moderator, Please deal with this

 

I'm not sure exactly who the moderator of this list is, but I would
appreciate it if this situation could be handled promptly.

 

I shouldn't have to be treated like this on this list.

 

I am sending a copy of a message I received from someone on this list and I
would appreciate it if you would take care of this, one way or another.

 

FIrst let me tell you lady I am anything but lazy and I think a lot of
people have made a considerable amount of effort to help you on this list.
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.

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.

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.

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.  I don't see any old ones though.

 

Anyway, Pod Casts give me too much information at one time and a lot of it I
already know, or don't understand in the first place cause it's too advanced
for me, or doesn't tell me what I need till my mind is so overloaded that I
can't absorb any more information.

 

Anyway, could someone just tell me in baby steps what all that is for and if
you have my number, just call if you want to.
