Pretty sure that you will ask your patient if he has also some kind of
Alzeihmer ...
This is what your mails and our answers looks like, when you read them
again.
People are pretty patient, but they don't like to be asked twice the
same thing. We work on this server for fun, on extra hours, and you can
bet that those extra hours are numerous (it's a 500 000 lines of code
beast, something you just don't write in a couple of weeks). Sometime
you will also get an harsh answer just because it's 3 am, and we are
tired trying to fix an obscure bug instead of having some rest.
The link Stefan pointed to contains many reasons why 'hackers' don't
like what they consider as 'stupid questions'. Of course, it's a
semi-humorous test, and you should not consider that hackers are always
right. We are all volunteers, and we are sometime very vocal, that's it.
