[QUOTE="HoustonHornedFrog, post: 608656, member: 16902"] QUOTE(tcugdu @ Aug 6 2010, 05:21 PM) [snapback]608636[/snapback] thanks for bumping the thread. I was really worried it was going to die. It's common internet etiquitte to do a search before posting something that could clearly be found with a simple search. [FONT=Tahoma]I took your advice and did a search on common internet etiquitte, if you had, you would have come up with the following: [/FONT][URL="http://phiwiki.wetpaint.com/page/Guide+to+Etiquette+on+the+Internet%3A+%E2%80%9CNetiquette%E2%80%9D"][FONT=Tahoma]Guide to Etiquette on the Internet: Netiquitte[/FONT][/URL] [FONT=Tahoma]Out of the 11 rules they list, your rants on this thread alone break almost half of them[/FONT]: [B][FONT=Times New Roman]Rule 1: Remember the human [/FONT][/B][FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=#000000]...

[U]When someone makes a mistake, give them the benefit of the doubt. When someone makes a mistake, a spelling error, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, you should be polite when pointing it out. [/U][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma]Nowhere does it say don't post a question if you haven't done extensive research first. This paragraph from a book on internet etiquette sums it up pretty well: "[U]When someone makes a mistake[/U] -- whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer -- [U]be kind about it.[/U] If it's a minor error, [U]you may not need to say anything.
