 I'm sure there's a mirror somewhere (mirroring *is* allowed).

				| brilliant  I've learnt lots of new ways to reply to people asking dumb questions from the section at the end of the document   
 I particularly liked
 
 
 
   
	| Quote: |  
	| Q:
 
 My {program, configuration, SQL statement} doesn't work
 
 A:
 
 This is not a question, and I'm not interested in playing Twenty Questions to pry your actual question out of you — I have better things to do. On seeing something like this, my reaction is normally of one of the following:
 
 * do you have anything else to add to that?
 * oh, that's too bad, I hope you get it fixed.
 * and this has exactly what to do with me?
 
 |  
 edit: just to make it clear, I don't really intend using those answers to people that ask silly questions, but is IS tempting sometimes
