Please do not paint us all with the same brush.

Stan must be having a bad hair day or something.

His response over in the excel.misc group is rude and judgemental and attacks
your personal character in a way that is unacceptable to me.

He has gone to the "plonk" list on my news reader.

Sorry, I was in a panic and didn't read the rules before I began. Shame on me,
I'm human, make mistakes. That being said. it truly amazes me how people can
make snap judgements of others. You know nothing of my situation and truly
your lovely attitude has given me no reason to disclose any more details of
it to you. I will tell you that I am a 42 year old college student with a
damn good GPA but my experience has not been in Excel Spreadsheets. If I knew
how to do any part of it, I would have tried to convey that in my message.
Thanks for your very understanding and helpful attitude. I thought this was a
forum where help could be found, I guess judgement is an added benefit.

Check one of your identical posts in other newsgroups.

You start off with one strike because you ought to be doing your own
homework. I (and others, I'm sure) are willing to *help*, but not to
do your homework *for* you. "I don't know where to start", from a
student, usually means "I haven't spent more than a millisecond
thinking about this problem." If you've been paying *any* attention
to your course, there's always something you can do to get started.
So you do that, and then look at the next bit of information in the
problem and see how you can use that. Before you know it, you've
either finished the problem or at least narrowed things down to a
specific question.

But by posting multiple copies you just increase the annoyance level
and reduce people's inclination to help you.
