It seems that your sarcasm sensor is as absent as your tact.

If you'd been on this list as long as I have, you'd have noticed that
the general trend to the responses to someone's question is often
similar to what I've said (several answers the same, several
alternatives, and some plainly wrong ones).

And if you had any tact, as is woefully absent in masses of your
replies, you might realise why you end up getting the occasional
sarcastic response (you piss people off something chronic).

Develop some tact, or get used to the occasional sarcastic response, or
even being told directly not to be such an asshat.

And your common sense seems to be lacking, too.  Does it not occur to
you that several people fetched their mail, saw a question, and saw no
answer to it, and all answered around about the same time?  The
datestamps of their replies certainly suggest that this was the case in
this instance.  Few people are going to be anal enough to sit there and
try and fetch new mail several times before replying, just to see if
someone else responds before they try.

That, and people often not sorting their mail in a threaded fashion, so
they don't see replies that are already there, often results in several
replies to a query.

Oh, and before you go accusing me of being some sort of NetNazi, I wrote
this sharp response to because you were being one.
