Can people stop being quite so snarky when answering questions please? There has been a noticeable increase in answers that begin with a snarky/preachy statements followed by an answer as well as generally snarky answers.

Whilst this may appeal to the baser sysadmin instincts and may get something off your chest, I don't think it does Sever Fault any good at all. If you feel the need to be snarky please don't or go somewhere else and be snarky.

At least one user has been temporarily suspended for being rude. Being snarky is in reality no different from being rude. Mods would you mind having a quiet word with someone if snarky answers are flagged to you ?

Everyone - please refrain from snarky answers.
