Exactly my thoughts. Sometimes, people just think they should get a pat on the back and "good effort" said to them all the time. I'm not your mother, I'm not going to hold your hand, I'm not going to say "nice try lil buddy!"

I'll tell you what I know, and I'll tell you how to get better. I'll share all my resources with you. I'll share my techniques. I'll even take time with you one-on-one. Send me the model, I'll do what i can to fix it. I'll even use different media to explain it until you understand. I don't even have a problem answering a question out of the blue on AIM.

Don't you dare say that I'm not helpful, especially if you don't know me. You haven't got a crutch to stand on in an argument about that, and plenty of people will tell you that.
