[HTC Sensation] NWolf:
Deal with what? I asked a question, I got an answer - there's not much to deal with.

Monolithic threads like this are the reason they are 800 pages, not because people ask the same questions. They ask the same questions for two reasons:

1. There is too much information to sift through to find the answer in a monolithic thread.

2. The search feature built into vBulletin is ancient and crappy.

There is a subtle difference between patronization and just plain talking down to. You were on the receiving end of the latter, much like I would talk to recalcitrant child or someone a little thick yet obnoxious. Patronizing would imply that we were equals, and judging by your "answer," I can safely say we are anything but equals.

I do not lack the patience to read through the thread, I lack the resources and the will to read through 799 (~7990 posts?) of information that is useless for the one bit of information I need. If the thread was broken up by release, as it should be, then the threads would be much more manageable. If the vBulletin search feature wasn't 10 years old and barely advanced beyond 2001 era technology, then search would be much more usable. Neither case is true, thus you have people asking the same questions over and over, so suck it up or find somewhere else to post and quit whining like a little baby.

I would ask what you have contributed to this community, beyond snarky posts and useless, outdated information? Personally, I have contributed a number of bits of software, unlocking utilities, information, FAQs and general assistance, all without the snarky attitude. Your information was a day late and a dollar short, so I have no reason to thank you for information that was already given by someone else, and was given without the attitude. For either reason, you deserve no thanks only contempt, of which I am offering you quite a bit. You are pathetic and a detriment to this community. If you left and never returned the forum would only be richer for it.

I have no idea what the Jersey Shore comment is, so I'll let you rock on with that "insult," since you think it was so creative. So as "everyone" could see, your answer was not only useless, but even less than useless - it detracted from the thread, since the information had already been given. The entire sum of your post was to post an insult, thus increasing the post count of this thread by one more useless post that someone will have to read through to get to the information they want. As I said, you are a part of the problem, not the solution. You are useless as a forum member and I'd wager useless as a human being, too.

So, now I await your awesome e-peen showing about how my post doesn't mean anything to you and how I'm an idiot, etc... ad nasuem. You see, I've dealt with teenagers like yourself for over 20 years on the internet, you are nothing special here, there or anywhere. You are average just like every other 'leet dude on the forums. I know, because I use to be like you but then I grew up. You haven't been anywhere or done anything I haven't already done... your next response won't be anything I haven't already posted a decade ago.

So rock on, brother. Be as predictable as I know you are!

PS - please, have your seven year old sister/niece/whatever craft a search that will retrieve that information from this thread. I'd like to see it.
