Can someone help ?
I am wondering if it would be worth waiting and line and ebaying an iphone. What do you think? How much do you think they will be going for? ________________ 'unlock iphone 3gs' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBoMmqEIsGk) -- Triarma |

I won't help because of your vague subject line (was: Can someone help?)
Sorry, I won't help you.
I won't help because you did not craft your subject line properly such that I had at least SOME IDEA WHAT YOU NEEDED HELP WITH. You insult the reader by posting messages with such a vaccuous subject line. |

You insult the reader by posting messages with such a vaccuous subject line. The message is short enough so it doesn't take much reading to know the help the OP needs. Why are you so impatient? If people need help, I help them if I can. I don't refuse to help them if they haven't Googled for an answer or read the manual. Not everyone is good at typing or speaks English as their first language. If you don't want to answer then don't but there's no need to insult people who ask a simple question. Your "answer" was more insulting than the question. Tom Lake |

This really isn't the right group to ask this question but here's an answer anyway. Apple's contract with AT&T is coming up for renewal and there's speculation that Apple may end the exclusive aspect of it and allow iPhone users to have Verizon as their network as well as AT&T. This would probably mean better deals on the iPhone as AT&T and Verizon compete and offer bundles. It's probably better to see how that shakes out before buying. Also, check the 3G coverage map to see if your area is covered. Many aren't yet and right now (in the USA at least) Verizon has much more area covered than AT&T. So to sum up my advice: Wait. The prices will come down eventually. Tom Lake |

You insult the reader by posting messages with such a vaccuous subject line. The message is short enough so it doesn't take much reading to know the help the OP needs. The OP doesn't deserve his posts to be read if his subject line is completely useless and he forces *everyone* to read the post just to know something about his problem. Why are you so impatient? If people need help, I help them if I can. I don't refuse to help them if they haven't Googled for an answer or read the manual. This has got nothing to do with how much they've first tried to help themselves. It's about common courtesy, about proper usenet etiquette, about respect for usenet readers. If someone doesn't take even a few seconds to formulate a descriptive subject line, then they are telling me that they want me to take MY TIME to read their post just to see if I want to, or can respond. Even more - in this case not only are you defending improper usenet posting style, but you are also defending a post that was way-off-topic for this newsgroup. If you don't want to answer then don't but there's no need to insult people who ask a simple question. Your "answer" was more insulting than the question. I was insulting the way they posted the question. Usenet would be useless if everyone always used subject lines like "Please help me!" or "I've got a problem!" or "Can anyone answer this question!". It's no crime to tell people to formulate descriptive and USEFUL subject lines with the 80 or so characters they have to work with. What do you have against that? And if you ask me, I do think that the nature of the question deserves the OP to be insulted. What did their question have anything to do with Intel? It was a nonsense question in the first place - it has no definative answer. |
