Whip It... Whip It Good...

Public Service Announcement to Askers of Questions

When you ask if I can help with something, I will typically try to do so. When I don't do so, it's for one of two reasons:

1) I've been chastized about taking care of this before, because it's someone else's responsibility;

or

2) I have no idea how to help you.

In either case, I will direct you to someone better suited to meeting your needs.

So when I direct you to someone else, what I'm saying is "I am unable to assist you, so I am pointing you in a different direction and washing my hands of this situation. I have other action items to take care of, and I need not waste either of our time futzing with this."

What I'm not saying is that you should ask me to "take a look at it anyway." I've looked. I've assessed my capabilities against your requirements. And I have found myself to have shortcomings that will hinder your situation. There's no point in my doing it again - it's obvious that you're not reading my reports back to you anyway.

But I applaud your energies spent whaling away on that proverbial Dead Horse. You're really going to town.

RaYD,

Sunny
