My recent question was downvoted within minutes of being asked and despite attempts to reason with the person doing the downvoting, I still don't think he got the point, I just pulled the question. Too many high priests now. (Still a wonderful site for getting answers though) | |

Put another way, "please don't make me waste my time when you aren't willing to meet me as far as your skills allow". Yes, a sense of unearned entitlement seems to be increasing, but comparing it to social welfare is straining the analogy on both sides. | |
