kurt, STFU.

some people may not have the same level of knowledge about troubleshooting
issues like this.  they will ask questions you and i may be able to answer
easily.  despite what you feel, they do have a right to read and post to
these lists (at least, it is outside your purview).

hell, sometimes even "the experts" don't have time to check out a little
thing and will ask for help too.

because it is trivial to you does not mean it is trivial to someone else.

your trolling/flaming is useless.  it only shows you are not someone who is
willing to help out, that you are someone it would be a waste of time
talking to, and that you, in a word, suck.

keep it to yourself.  if you think a post is useless, delete it.  don't
bitch about it.  take some initiative.

did you have too much coffee today and get all jittery?  or are you quitting
smoking and are an extra bitch to bear today?  <-- those are rhetorical in
case you weren't sure.
