How much time do you spend looking at the welcome screen. It's related =
to the language toolbar. Perhaps you shouldn't abuse this newsgroups =
with totally stupid questions.

This is hardly a stupid question, the guy is unsure on how to do something
and has posted a question in a support forum. If you are not interested in
answering the question the don't but in my opinion you are wasting the
bandwidth with your negative comments.

Andy to switch off the language bar to the following.

Start Control Panel Regional and Language Options Languages Tab
Details Button Settings Tab Language Bar Button Untick "Show the
Language Bar on the desktop". You should also make sure that you remove any
languages that you do not use as these use valuble system resources.

It is totally inappropriate. Where is the problem? There is no problem.

Your concept of user support is non-existent, and THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.
Since you don't know what user support IS why don't you have the ability to
ignore posts you have no business answering? That's YOUR problem as well,
isn't it?

This is exactly my point. This isn't about user support. Pay money to MS =

Plus you have to do a bit more than turn off the language bar, it is
Advanced Text Services (of which the language bar is the UI for).

But I suppose if an idiot wants to give misleading advice to another
idiot. Least I gave accurate if useless advice.

After installing Visual Studio, how to you switch back to the Windows
default debugger (Dr. Watson) instead of using the Visual Studio
debugger? Well, this must be a stupid question, too, since nothing is
actually *broke* and, according to you, there wouldn't be a problem
since the question regards an annoyance or preference. But how many
would know to go edit the AeDebug registry key and to what value to set
it? Where is the problem? According to your analysis, there would be
no problem since the question has to do with a *preference*. Being curt
and telling the OP to use the included Help and Support included with
Windows wouldv'e been sufficient, but calling the OP stupid for asking
what is a newbie question doesn't reflect negatively on the OP but
instead on YOU!

As far as gpalmer giving incorrect advice, why was it incorrect? The
navigation is correct and it matches what "Help and Support" says and
which was what YOU recommended to the OP. Since YOU think this
information from the included help (and repeated by gpalmer) is
incorrect then your suggestion to use the included help is what was
misleading. Apparently you believe some other article within help is
more relevant but were unwilling to provide the search string to focus
in on whatever topic in the help you thought was correct or more
appropriate.

We'll just assume you are having a bad day, forgot to take your
mood-stabilizing medication, your blood sugar got too low, or were going
through nicotine withdrawl and really shouldn't have responded.

Why do you expect I'm going to treat a moron abusing this newsgroup
with respect. Explain to me the problem? How is it a problem? Who
stares at a welcome screen? And even if your mates do do that what
difference does it make if there is an EN showing? How does the EN
prevent tasks from being performed?

Perhaps you visit your 5 daughters too often.


Unfortunately the http://www.mvps.org/links.html lists present AND
*past* awardees of the MVP title. So someone using an e-mail address at
mvps.org does NOT equate to being a *current* MVP awardee. The award
lasts only a year. I'm sure all alumni groups have their embarrasments.
In a Google Groups search, I haven't found a message from him that
included "MVP" in a signature, so he probably hasn't had that award for
awhile. Looks like he got the mvps.org e-mail address around 25-12-02.
A Google search on David's posts seems to indicate that he generally
provides help but I have noticed some of his overly corrosive ones, too.
Just chalk it up to him having a bad day.

It is unfortunate that users have to go hunting around at
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/MVP/MVP.mspx to see who are the
*current* awardee(s) in each category rather than Microsoft providing a
sorted list of awardee names. If the current awardee lists their
category then it is easy to look up; otherwise, trying to qualify the
status of a poster as a *current* MVP is a PITA.

Perhaps you have a history with Andy that the rest of us are unaware. A
Google search by his moniker doesn't show any posts since about 1995.

When reading the chart regarding what is abusive, please don't read it
from a mirror which would reverse the chart. I saw nothing abusive in
the OP's post, only in your posts. It reminded me of trying to talk
with Alan Connor, a known kook (well, known to me after trying to
communicate with him; see
http://angel.1jh.com/nanae/kooks/alanconnor.shtml), who becomes severely
abusive if you ask him about his product or question his viewpoint. I
don't see cause why the OP couldn't post their preference to eliminate
something in a feature of Windows (which I don't use, by the way).
After all, the OP did post in the *.newusers group.

Are you saying that Microsoft thrusts the MVP award upon anyone simply
based on their participation in the microsoft.* newsgroups without the
consent of the awardee? If you want no association with the Microsoft
MVP program then why do you infer your participation or membership, past
or present, by the use of an mvps.org e-mail address? Have you informed
mvps.org of your position regarding the MVP program so they can delete
your e-mail account with them and remove from their site the link to
your site?
