Doug,

Let me help you with some perspective.

Itook the advice from the previous poster. Guicanada ask a question about paint, so Ianswered his question. As for stupid, if you can not see how your tone reflects your contemp for people, then you are failing to self evaluate.

As for jarring the other poster into "reality", have you forgotten how frustrating it was to get a new heli, wreck it, or not be able to figure out how to get it to fly right? What the guy needed was help, what you gave him was a good reason to get out of the hobby.

Maybe you are flying big nitro helis, or have been in the hobby for 10 years, but if you don't have the patience to speak with beginners and tolerate some dumb questions, then just don't post.

Chris
