Dear Arie

Your case for patience seems reasonable but often newbies questions are just "I have this problem, help me". There is no background information, such as what computer do you have, the operating system you use, hard disk size, memory or anything else. It makes it extremely difficult for anyone to offer anything approaching sensible advice.

I understand that non-technical or inexperienced people have difficulty understanding or explaining what they see when their computer misbehaves.

However, to newbies everywhere, I would ask this, if someone you did not know came to you for (non-computer related) advice you would, if you are sensible, ask for some background info before giving your advice. Likewise, technical and experienced folk require some background info before dispensing advice just "Help Me" is not enough.

All newbies have to do is supply some info with their queries.
