My forum for venting displeasure with the large number of supposed experts on the internet. |
| Dumb and Dumber ... |

Dumb and a Dumber ... http://www.techsupportforum.com On this HELP website, two self-declared Micro$oft MVP experts ('CHEVY' and 'JOHNWILL') have trouble answering an easy question (...easy if you actually know your stuff).
- They don't know what the file MSIMN.EXE is for (see below). The file MSIMN.EXE is the Email & news reader program (i.e. Outlook Express). One "Expert" (Chevy) calls the other "Expert" (Johnwill) a "Wise A**" because he doesn't know that MSIMN meant "MS Instant Messenger". (It doesn't - that's why they have a spot here on this page). "Johnwill" didn't know enough to correct "Chevy". It took another person, "TCSCushing", almost a month later, to correct them. |
| M$ Expert Doesn't Know How To Use Wordpad |

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Q_21676958.html Gal that goes by the username, vsg375 (link) doesn't know how to use find/replace all (actually just the REPLACE option) in WordPad. She thinks that you have to find each instance one at a time, and then replace them one at a time. (vsg? hmmm... Very Stupid Gal?) Hint: When you go to this site the first time, the actual answers are way at the bottom of the page. The top has the spaces for answers but they are greyed-out with a message that only "Premium" members can see the answers. But if it is your first visit to the site, scroll way down, past all the advertisement & junk in the middle. Once you get past that, you'll come to the actual answers. The site then puts a cookie on your computer, and if you refresh that page, or go to another page on the site, it will then block the real answers at the bottom: They are no longer visible. Easy fix is to delete the cookie and you can see another page's answers. Delete their cookie again and you can see another page, et cetera. |
