If you'd read his original post, you'd know he hasn't opened the set
up yet because it's in its owner's home, so he hasn't had a chance
to have that glance, you self-rightous pig. He wrote:

"I need to replace a 2.2 mfd 160 V cap, but I don't know which type
of capacitor,(electrolytic, tant, mica, poly... etc.) it is, and I haven't
opened the set yet..." snip

I think his attitude was entirely appropriate, considering the ration
of **** he was handed by this worthless group of oinkers for the high
crime of asking for a little help. After following this thread for the last
couple of days, this entire group can FOAD as far as I'm concerned.
Like the OP, I won't be back anytime soon. If you can't figure out
why, you'll have to buy the manual. No one here will be willing or able
to help you.

In this group (seb) we're very sensitive to the problems newsbies
have with asking for help, generally treat them with kid gloves, and
subscribe to the notion that there is no such thing as a stupid
question.

He wasn't originally handed a ration of ****, he was merely given
instruction as to where he could find a manual so that he could
positively identify the component in question, after which he
became bellicose and judgmental and, consequently, received his
well-deserved ration of ****.

However, now that you, another asshole, has taken your pot shot and
run away, you may never get to ask yourself how he knew it was
_that_ particular capacitor which needed to be replaced, and that it
was a 2.2µF (not 2.2mfd) 160V cap _without_ opening the case.
