It probably is rude to laugh and not helpful, but I'll be darned if it isn't hard sometimes!!! As well as being on this board, I'm on arachonboards, and some of the newbies are unreal. They ask questions, get answers, and then disregard them. If anyone says anything to them such as why ask when you have made your own decision already, they get upset and start complaining that we are being mean. Or in the case of the animal coming to harm, they say why didn't you tell me? Why do they ask questions if they don't want the answer, and have decided how they are going to handle it? Does everyone else on the boards exist to stroke the egos of these people? Those of us that are truly here for information and to help just need to be patient, these kind of people never stay around for long.
