? Is rudeness common here?
My experience with various Apple mailing lists leads me to say that there are both people who answer the question you ask and people who feel obligated to tell you just why you wouldn't want to do what you asked.
I find it so annoying that I've unsubscribed from all but 2 of their lists. When I ask a question, I'm looking for an answer, not pontificating.

Subject: RE: Adding background music to a web page...
My client is not an idiot. If he wants 15 seconds of quiet background music
that plays upon opening a seating chart in a concert hall he can have it.
You seem a bit rude and off the point here. My job is to do professional
work regardless of what the client wants. My clients job is to let me know
what he wants. Simple, really.
I was hoping to get an answer without the rudeness that a few of you have
shown. I wasn't asking what your opinion was about this. That is
irrelevant to the question at hand.
Is rudeness common here? If so I will take my questions elsewhere.
