You got ya adsl-chat list, can bullshit crap like this not be taken
there?

%>
%> Maybe so but they could have assumed that I had done the obvious
%> and called my ISP already. They could have listed the options
%> available in the order I should try them.
%>
%> Every time I have asked for genuine help from this list I get people
%> telling me that how I asked. I am told that I supplied TOO much
%> info or not enough info. I am told that it is not an ADSL problem
%> when it is. I am told that I should not have called who I called
%> when I should have. I am told that some solutions that I should have
%> tried were obvious but the person did not think that they were
%> obvious enough for me to have already tried them - some even come
%> back then and say that I should have said all I have done (like you
%> have).
%> If I did it that way someone (maybe even you) would have told
%> gone through my post point by point telling me why I should not
%> have included that information.
%>
%> It would be nice to have got a reply like this
%>
%> Try these things
%>
%> 1 - phone your ISP help desk
%> 2 - ...........
%>
%> The problem is that I am not sure what 2 is cos no one has come
%> up with that yet and I wish that would - except for the guy who
%> e-mailed me that he can give me an ADSL connection that works
%> 100% of the time.
%>
%> I subscribe to a number of news groups and mailing lists where
%> I am one of the technical experts - I would never reprimand someone
%> asking for help because they did not word their question correctly. I
%> thinks that one should supply help willingly and showing respect for
the
%> person asking. If someone is asking for help chances are that they
%> do not know the answer and may also not know the correct way
%> to handle it - if they did, they would not be asking.
%>
%> Chrissy - who still wants to know what to do about being allocated an
%> IP addy that will not work.
