The time taken from talented people arriving at the gate and them running away is unfortunately shortening all the time. Sadly though there are an unending stream of people who think that being able to buy a VPS makes them part of our target audience and entitles them to our help. | |

I answer questions because I like a good puzzle. If all the questions are crap and show no effort, the knowledgable people all leave, and this turns into yahoo answers. | |

Most likely just stop playing (in the not too distant future) because you are entirely bored with the daily stream of crappy questions. | |
