Why didn't you say anything at the time?

Because I have no problem with people helping other people even if they ask in the wrong forum.

OG, my comment was not about your post. It was about other's who abuse the lounge by posting programming questions, not complaints, but then abuse others for doing the same.
Treat others as you'd like to be treated.

I didn't think it was!
It's just my silly sense of humour, I'm afraid...

There is a difference there: CG isn't asking for help, he was just venting his spleen at something that was frustrating him and forgot his trademark "Why Windows 8.1 Sucks Today" title, is all.
Heck, venting is part of what this place is about: why do you think I posted about the stupid mayo this morning? I didn't need CPians to turn up and help clean!

I don't believe you. Confess, you know you wanted help.

Yeah - and where were you when I needed you, huh? Huh?

I followed those posts and it was clear to me that CG did not intend for it to become a technical debate - it ended up being led that way by others and it was not overly long in my opinion.
As for that mayo post... it was outrageous!

No, I agree - it was a rant, nothing more. How these things develop is one of the pleasant unpredictabilities of this place!

by the way how is the cat after being traumatized by the exploding jar?

Fortunately he was outside at the time or it would have added a new set of problems: glass-as-cat-toy and cat-eating-mayo-with-glass-in. As it was I binned his food and water to be on the safe side.

Exactly!

Asking for code to build a robot to clean up after you again eh...if we've told you once we've told you 12.3 times the Codz Plz doesn't work here in the lounge.

It wouldn't be the Lounge without Christian's bitching. As I read it, there really wasn't a request for help in there. Just bitching.

It's not bitching it's a honest consumer report on the products and services we use regularly. How else are we to know VS sucks, that Quantas is a POS, etc.. He is our consumer savior!

True. But it turned into it.

Nah, that was just one of the welcomed-back Christian rants.
Probably you are not aware of the old gold days rants, like for instance "Why I despise Telstra".
Veni, vidi, vici.

Agreed - I was pretty clear I only wanted to discuss my issue in general and was not asking for help. If you scroll down, I said as much several times.

Oh I know. My issue wasn't with you at all. I was just pointing out that when people of certain "stature" ask questions (even unintentional ones) they tend to get answers but new members get told very quickly where to go.
It's no big deal, I really didn't mean much by it.
