The simple act of posting on the threads does not gain you anything at all.
And we can't tell what question you may have either. I don't know how you think anyone can when you don't express what the question is. So can anyone help you? The answer is NO because you didn't tell us anything.

Well darn it, this kind of stuff gets so OLD. It is unbelievable to me how many members, not just from Sri Lanka post a couple of words and expect you to know what is going on. They do it all the time on the Board to ask Mentor's questions. Well how the heck to we know what they need help with. My crystal ball hasn't worked for years!!!
I don't mind it if it isn't proper English at all. That has nothing to do with it. Just because they are from another country, speaking a different primary language, they can still give us a good idea of what is going on using translator programs. Heck I see more improper English from those with English as their primary language than I do from those that don't speak a word of it.

Likewise... but as a long-time Tech Support person, I can tell you that it's always been like this, though maybe not quite this bad.
Some people are just so inept at writing that they not only leave out any context or any details needed for the other party to have even a remote chance of helping them, but also seem completely oblivious to the fact that they have conveyed nothing. They write that badly because they don't put themselves in the position of the recipient, and don't try to imagine what the other person might need to know in order to help.
Preaching to the choir here. I've been active on the threads for a very long time. I do disagree just a little as in previous years while the same problem was there it was no where near as frequent as it is not, even with the Sri Lanka sellers that have gotten ahold of some bad information.
