Haven't you read any of my rants? Few people seem to supply their
equipment list in this group. I make it a point of pointing this out
in the most abrasive manner possible, but it doesn't help. There is
some aversion to supplying this information. Probably too much RF
affecting the common sense brain center. The same people would dream
of going to an auto parts store and asking for help with their "car",
but that's perfectly acceptable in this newsgroup. Maybe they're
ashamed of their purchase and don't want to admit they paid money for
something with which they need help? Dunno. Meanwile, it's
mindreading, guess(tm) work, crystal ball, and my Ouija Board.

I was waiting for him to say "But I don't have a Fuquaia router." At
which point I would say, "But you didn't tell us that, we're not
mindreaders."

I think it's just that, being "newbies" and all, they have the idea that
all the answers have a common question, which they think they're asking.

Actually it's worse- newbie who spends no time lurking & listening,
and
wants instant gratification free.

Not to mention total refusal to DAGS or RTFM.

When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
