who cannot answer a simple question without substituting a lecture or
warning for the information you seek. These people are the RSG
roaches,
there are hundreds of them and they will show up on every direct
question
asked here just to tell the asker how stupid he is for asking it. It
is
what they do. Yes they shoot 80's and 90's and worse but on the
internet
they raise themselves to a higher level. They will waste your time and
everyone else's who wishes to know the same information with
gobbeldeygook
and totally extraneous BS. There is nothing we can do about it except
apologize for them and hope they one day get a life with rewards other
than
the inner smugness of bring an internet group nag.



The advice I gave the original poster was not condescending at all. In
fact, it is probably the most important lesson I've learned in the last
12 or so years of playing golf.... <remainder of lecture snipped>


Birdie, I see that you are a peacemaker and a kind soul. So please ignore
the harsher language I used.

But please also ignore posted questions you have no ability or intention
of
answering. Yes we all want to be seen as a great imparters of lessons and
wisdom, but let's attain that image in a positive way by answering what is
asked, not by slapping down the question and substituting another one for
it.

If you have a brilliant observation or opinion perhaps you could try
starting a thread of your own with it? That way people who are interested
can read it and people who aren't don't have to.

Birdie Bill made a great response to the original poster's question.
He doesn't need to start a new thread to do that, nor be called pompous by
you.
You suggest he should ignore the original post because he has no ability to
answer.
