I'm ill, please excuse me.
First of all - people who don't know what punctuation is. If I have to spend ten minutes deciphering their message, I feel much less inclined to actually respond to them. It's not difficult - all required keys are provided on most standard keyboards, and it makes posts much more legible.
Spelling - another bee in my bonnet. Particularly in spelling commands etc, as confusing two different spellings could confuse two commands, leading to potentially horrific circumstances.
Talking of confusing commands - surely the most-asked question on these boards is the whole su/sudo/root thing. As a SuSE migrator it took a little while to get used to, admittedly, but it's not that hard - particularly when it's explained in one of every three threads. See also "adding extra repositories".
All that said, I will still continue to offer help where I can, when I can; simply because I enjoy helping people, and I know that should I fall into difficulty, there are like-minded people who will help me.
Ahh, I feel better now.
