I got that - Did you get that I was being facetious?

No, you caught me off guard - outside the Q&A forum some filters are suspended in order to recover

It's about those rissoles in Q&A, who think they're so smart because they answer questions.

You only need to be smarter than the inquirer, give it a try

Ah, but you can never really tell how smart someone is.
I can run faster than he; that's what really counts.

Wow. That is one of the best uses of words that I've seen in a long time.
Extreme kudos to the inventor.

Haha. In fact, I've felt I have been afflicted like these poor souls, a few times in the last ten days.

We all have our idiot days -- I've been known to be an uncomprehending idiot on certain topics for weeks, even, until the right penny dropped into the right slot.
It's when it's permanent that you have to worry.

All it takes is a moment or three of - alcohol free - calm, and things start rushing back into my stress-addled brain. Yesterday morning, under heavy pressure to deliver a working test version to my client as he returned from a long weekend. I had everything wrapped up nicely, including my hard-won GUI for the damned WCF/Windows Service. I told him, at 7am I would have it ready at 9am, and then I made a seemingly innocuous code change, clicked the "Update service reference" menu item, only to fall straight into the flaming pits of hell. I had been using the existing reference for several days without updating, and everything was working fine, but suddenly the generation of the WCF proxy was failing, outputting an empty .cs file. If I try adding the same service reference to a new project, it works fine. 
So I set to work just "manually" getting the other side of the app working, filled with stress and fear of doom (getting fired), and drew complete blanks on nearly everything else until around 5pm, when I had demonstrated that side to be working. Sitting down to relax and watch TV, I was suddenly filled with inspiration for diagnosing the problem, and I think today has some calm still left for me to do that.

I was going to post a new thread asking for suggestions on how to build a forum, but I don't think I'll bother now

Never heard this before but the term "Help Vampire" is spot on! I called them lazy and ignorant an-alphabets.

I look back at my posts when I was young and naive and pull this face
But I think there is a difference between being naive about what you want to do and asking for too much help and doing so, but never really learning from it.
I try to be helpful with my responses these days. Give a idea of what to do. Reference docs and link them. Gently shove them to solving the problem for themselves.
I may even post snippets of code, but if anyone asks me "Can you pls post code?" I fly off the wall, sacrifice a puppy and a kitten and write a letter to Satan asking to reserve a special place in hell for them.
Then post code that won't work off the bat, but should work with some thought based on suggestions I have previously posted. If they then say the code doesn't work... I talk myself off the ledge.

Some kind of negative publicity which works positively, just like Hollywood. Yesterday, I read a article about a new top domain name ".sucks" (not sure it is real), which would serve the same purpose.

Put this in your Chrome browser's url address and click enter
chrome://net-internals/#dns
I apologize if you already know this. Yes, I have been living under a rock, for all these years. 
edit: it will bring up a utility page, first.

Actually, if you have Chrome installed, the best place to go is the Control Panel Programs and Features applet.
I'll let you guess at the rest of the process.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Do chronic illegal parkers suffer from parking zones disease?

One treatment could be, send them up into the tow zone layer.

Three golfers are walking down the fairway."Sixty is the worst age to be," said the 60-year-old, "You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time nothing happens."
"Ah, that's nothing," said the 70-year-old. "When you're 70, you don't have a bowel movement anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran, you sit on the toilet all day and nothing happens."
"Actually," said the 80-year-old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."
"Do you have trouble peeing too?" asked the 60-year-old.
"No, I pee every morning at 6.00 am. I pee like a racehorse; no problem at all."
"Do you have trouble having a bowel movement?" asked the 70-year-old.
"No, I have one every morning at 6.30 am."
Puzzled with this the 60-year-old said, "Let's get this straight. You pee every morning at 6.00 am and poop every morning at 6.30 am. So what's so tough about being 80?"
"I don't wake up until seven."
