Whining, as in, not taking the necessary time to scan the mail list or archives for similar questions. If a person cannot take a few minutes to research, and ask a question that has been asked more than twice, then yes, it is whining. From windows users, linux users, and OS X users. I did not mean to pick out Vista users in particular. "WE ALL" (all OS users) are guilty of whining. -- Rodney D.
