Annoying people .................. wasting peoples time by asking
childish questions that you could easily answer yourself .........
acting like a 5 year old (heehee) .................

what is the point of having a news group then ? ...

This one? It's supposed for people to ask and help with d-i-y related
issues and has morphed into people often asking for help on anything
(practical) they are doing or trying to do themselves. Or might do
themselves if it's considered feasible by the group, compared with
getting a 'professional' in. Or if someone sees some tools at a good
price etc. In most cases, people will have looked for guidance on
Google / Youtube first.

Most people will mark something OT when it might *now* be on topic,
they just do it out of respect, something you don't seem to have the
slightest idea about.

So, putting up your sunshade think could be just about acceptable, if
it wasn't for the fact that a child could have done it (assuming you
rate you abilities as better than that of a child)? Had you laid it
out and looked at what you had, there is only really one way it could
have gone up.

It's not just another ****ter or your personal blog.

If you don't like that or think it's just me making it up, maybe you
should have read this first:

You regularly break every single one of those guidelines.
