I don't understand

Posted by ESC February 27, 2003In reply to I don't understand many discussion group responses posted by janes_kid on February 27, 2003

Here sometimes, and other places frequently, someone asks a questions and the response is, in affect, go look somewhere else.

An example nearby is someone asks about '23 skidoo' and the response is in affect 'go search the archives, we've no time for your kind'

Why do you invite people and them shove them off?

When a poster is referred to the archives, it's not really a brush off. The person responding knows that we discussed the phrase in the past and is pointing to the answer.

Now, do you have a question? I'd be glad to try and help you.
