Ok this is a pathetic joke.

Moderator we need to ban, bar, prohibit this jerk from future Q&A on this site.

All agree that this person is simply being a jerk? All agree to ban this person?

Unfortunately there have been rather too many instances of silly questions like this in recent months.
They are typified by one line "demands", no "please", no background, & plainly no respect.
Anyone posting here for help, ought to know that in the main a professionally qualified person is likely to answer, & that takes time.
It's surely not unreasonable therefore to expect questions to be detailed, provide some background, & a circuit diagram if possible.
It's also reasonable to expect the poster to indicate they have done some independant research using Google or Wikipedia.
I personally do not like the concept of banning anyone unless they are abusive.
I'd suggest we all recognise easily the type, & the best response is simply to avoid any response.

banning is rather quite harsh although deserving, i agree we simply ignore........

These are mocking questions, purposely meant to jerk folks around, mock what we do. It is intolerable and should be dealt. This person (loose term) should be made an example of. Do that and we won't have instances like it anymore.

Earl,
I think we probably all understand your anger, especially recognising your part in offering help on a very frequent basis.
In fact we can't know the background of this impudent & thoughtless question poster, or his motives.
Seems to me our best professional response is dignified silence.
And that's enough from me.

Yes that is the best option for the sake of the forum and the others who contribute.

I am assuming you are a student - if you have enough knowledge to search the internet for this forum you certainly have enough knowledge to google or yahoo or whatever to type in 2N4123 in the search box and hit the enter key. Then all you have to do is read the gazillion hits to find your answer.

Thankyou earl at last Im glad youve noticed because this believe it or not is typical of the knowledge that people have in the Uk Which is why you shouldnt give the answers Make them find out for themselves No need to ban people like this or get rid of them

What should be happening is people such as yourselves should be highlighting this and raising questions as to why this standard is so poor with further instructions to the questionare in so far as either you make an effort themselves or expect no help Its disgusting Ive just recieved a letter today from a government body who are supposidly skilled in finding people work

Yoi have got to read this to believe just how non proffesional this is

What prospective employers must think of this I just dont know "My own spelling is not the best ",but bearing in mind they have computers, office software,are in fairly well paid jobs, there is no excuse for this

If these are the instructors and advisers what exactly are the the people who attend these so called courses learning and what impact is this having when supposidly trying to create reasonably educted literate people who are going to be client facing in what ever aspect

Im going to post this on the net

Its not the question earl Thats not really an issue its how they do this and more importantly Why are they not making any effort at all No one minds helping someone if they make an effort No one does The question my be quiye silly but if they have made an effort No one minds answering so long as they make an effort If hed had come back an said Im uploading this This is what I understand This is what I dont understand can some one help me

Fine no problem but where is the effort Answer None as some one else says No please No thankyou nothing just expects this and whilst your about it could you do my homework for me

Yes sorry True

See below for why we have this problem Persons employed by government who are advisors to persons unemployed Not that we should chastise people like this but for crying out loud Why couldnt this be checked

What does this make me look like A proffesional I doubt it

See below Again appologies but people have got to see this

Hi Mark,

I found this post very difficult to follow or make sense of as there was no punctuation or flow and a lot of the thoughts were jumbled or written in both the third and first person.

I don't mean this in any way to sound rude, and I'm only trying to help here, but have you ever been tested for dyslexia and/or autism? I only ask because your sentences are formed almost exactly like a friend of mine who is a fantastic programmer but is both mildly autistic and dyslexic. His takes the form that jumbles ideas when written, rather than affecting spelling. He uses some excellent software which helps greatly - not sure what it's called but I'll email and ask if you want.

There's also an image attachment below your post - I'm not sure if it's a good idea to post something onto the internet marked "private" with your full name, home address and someone else's email address.
