"the response was as legit as the OP!"

Not sure where you got your definition of "legit" but according to latest available information on the internet, the most commonly accepted understanding of the word "legit" slang for the word legitimate, means... in accordance with established rules, principles, standards, and guidelines.

According to that definition, the response was NOT legit.  In fact, it was anything BUT legit, violating at least 3, of TER's established rules and guidelines for discussion board postings.

"It was a newbie board question."

Really?  Show me the guidelines that establishes the difference between what is considered to be a newbie board question and what can be considered a general discussion board question.

I readily admit, I dont know all the ins and out of TER, and I am a voracious reader of this board's forums. for the very purpose of trying to learn everything I can.

Sometimes I cant find the answer using search.

Sometimes, I ask a moderator and get the totally honest response of... "I dont have fucking clue", that was LP's response by the way.

But after searching for an answer on my own, and not finding it, and then asking a moderator and him not knowing the answer, I took it to the board.

It saddens me deeply, to see a person reach out, and ask such a reasonable, and legitimate question, and then be treated with such unkindness and indifference.

Did you notice, that in spite of the assumed stupidity of OP by the "DumbAss" responder, that nobody else, came forward to provide an answer.

Could it be, that perhaps many others did not know the answer to the question either, and they too were curiously waiting for a reply?

"If the OP had a problem with that answer, let the OP take it up with the responder."

I dont know if the OP had a problem with the answer he received, but I'm a part of this board too, and public posts are open territory for discussion to each and every individual on this board, and I will tell you, I VERY MUCH HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE WAY THE OP's QUESTION WAS RESPONDED TOO.  

Would you like to comment on that?  Its a public board you know, you are quite free to do so.  You can even throw in some derogatory and demeaning insults, all the while hurling some assassin insane comments that my pet goldfish is a cock sucking, fag racist transsexual, with STD's.

"Way too many WK's both male and female, not allowing these people to learn to walk on their own."

Are you calling me a WK?  If your definition of a WK, is a person who is sickened and repulsed, with the knowledge, that when another human being is given the choice to show another human being, kindness, hatred, or indifference, they would chose hatred.  If your definition of a WK is a person who stands up and speaks out against the bullying, rather than simply ignoring it with tolerant indifference, then that's me, and I'm quite happy to be me!

"if this question was a REAL concern to the OP, why post it under an alias?"

I cant even begin to fathom, why some questions are asked under an alias, so I wont even attempt to speculate why this poster asked his question under an alias.  

But in hindsight, if I were the OP, knowing what I know now, seeing how one can be treated with such meanness and unkindness, I sure as shit would be all happy with myself right about now,  for making the decision, for whatever reason I did, to ask my question under the use of an alias.

"A troll post perhaps?"

Really, are you serious?

I'll tell you how I got my answer, I asked a moderator, quite some many moons ago. With a little sigh of relief, I am now thanking the powers that be, that I DIDNT come to the General Discussion Board to ask that question.

Please, tell me, how it is, that you  came into the knowledge about how to edit a post?

Did it come to you in a vision?

Is there an "Everything You Always Wanted to Know, About Editing Your Posts, But Were Always Too Scared Shitless to Dare and Ask on the General Discussion Board" manual?  If so, I would so love to have that link to be able to pass it around.

This bares mentioning again, I am a voracious reader of this board,  and I can honestly say, that I have ever come across that information, in my readings.  That isnt to say it doesnt exist, just never have come across it.
