On that topic people who go onto support channels on IRC and then ask if it’s ok to ask a question drive me crazy.
It’s a support channel, just ask.
It’s a support channel, just ask.
To the left is a door that leads to Comcast Support.
To the right is a door to a freenode channel guarded by a man yelling, "DON'T ASK TO ASK! JUST ASK!!!"
Which direction, gentle newbie?
Edit: intensification
More often than not, I feel like talking with those folks and explaining to them that they should just ask and not ask if they can ask it seems like they just don't recognize what they're doing. Thus, it's usually good to tell them they don't need to ask and to just ask now and in the future.
