anyone have a spare minute to help me
hey TIPS
could I ask for a little help quickly
Cerberus
If you want help, you can just post whatever question you have here.
Then people may or may not have the time/energy to assist you.
No need to ask "can I ask".
Rejlan Givens
okay Cerberus do you have energy
to assist me
Cerberus
Not now.
Rejlan Givens
okay
Cerberus
But you're still doing it.
It is better not to ask people whether they want to spend time on your issue if they don't know what the issue is.
People don't like to commit to something unknown.

yeah
Man
I needed the third of that time for the answer to my question
you have energy for wrong stuff Cerberus
Cerberus
It's chat etiquette.
Rejlan Givens
from my standpoint I wish you directed that energy on helping me
but it's me
I really needed help
Cerberus
My point: you are more likely to get help if you follow etiquette.
Rejlan Givens
thank you
Cerberus
I'm not saying you're stupid or bad mannered.
And there are no binding rules.
It's just what works well.

:)
Cerberus
So just post your question.
Rejlan Givens
I've sinned Cerberus
Cerberus
You have not.
You're just not doing what's good for you!
