    Well now we are just splitting hairs into worse and worse hairs.

    Turns out computer repair, much like the humanitarian aid we are actually talking about, is indeed a complex and difficult thing to get right.

    It’s almost like the attempt to help should get some credit, especially as the person who brought a sledgehammer or a screwdriver learns that you need software support and adjusts that help accordingly.

      When someone needs help the onus is on the one who offers help to understand what help is needed.

      If you don’t want to give specific help, don’t offer.

      And no, just because the helper provided incorrect or useless aid doesn’t mean it should be appreciated.
