Read the Board - there are far too many posts of this nature but if you put yourself to the trouble of research you should answer your own question. I hope that you do not go to web boards when diagnosing your patients' illnesses.

The OP had a simple question that could have been answered by searching the forum but decided to start his own thread instead... You somehow equate that to his practice of medicine?

I know there's a term for people for people like you but since this is my first post, I'll practice restraint

Welcome to SF Kanny.

bail into one of the existing threads, the search function is pretty good, when you figure out how it works, and you will find plenty opportunity to get most of your questions asked and answered.

Don't feel threatened by the unfriendly ones, most of the SF members are really good.

Enjoy!

Good, a wise decision.

If the man is so ..... as to be unable to indulge in self help in a simple matter I would have a concern as to how he will proceed when confronted with something important.

Lets recap your assessment of reality: if a doctor asked what color suits he should buy to build a wardrobe, he's an imcompetent doctor.

So what is an appropriate question to post on this forum? From what you just stated, you can't ask basic questions because they've already been asked somewhere. You can't ask important questions because, well, that would make you negligently incompetent.

I guess we should shut down the Internet because there is nothing left to say.

You should consider logging off the forums and getting out of your basement from time to time.

RLP Blue Label. Get something with a soft shoulder (no padding) in navy, their cuts look good on athletic men. You might have to have the flat front pants slimed down (do not buy pleated pants).

Sale going on now.
