? 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.
That's usually the common thread for people who find a lot of "rude" posters on mailing list. Not only do they want free help, they want to dictate the terms on which they get it. How dare anyone include a personal opinion along with the free assistance?

The people who are taking the time to give you (the original poster) free assistance that you will put to work in your business to make money might find it a little less obvious who is being rude. I would think it reasonable to recognize your position as a beggar who is asking for free handout based on the overall benevolence of the audience, and consequently take your assistance and anything else that comes with it, and say "thank you, sir". The advantage of that approach is that you'll suddenly find that the world is no longer overflowing with rude people. Funny how it works that way . . .
