Adrynalyne, I know I'm newish to the forums (lurker + slowly picking the pace up on posts), but I really like your attitude on the forums. You're knowledgeable and actually nice about trying to help people out. It's something I strive to reach at some point.
I think there are two different perceptions on these kind of situations that lead to posts like mb01's. The first comes when you've tried to help people and you get tired of the redundancy of posts over the same topic, because people don't actively search and read up on things prior to doing them. The second comes from impatience stemmed from certain individuals being more capable of understanding what they're doing faster than others, whether it be from previous experience with similar systems, or just a better knack at computer jabber. lolz.
I think this post comes in after reading another thread wherein the person was trying to find out how to remove files after rooting, but (s)he is a Mac user, and didn't have any terminal experience at all. So seeing this thread immediately after the last one made me think. *shrug*
