Who can edit ?

NAWPRTY: Never accept what phone reps tell you.

Or can you come up with a more catchy acronym for that sentiment (a la HUCA and PUTPAC)?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.
