Consider who in this group are so quick to insult posters and qualify
them as ignorant people who shouldn't be posting here. (instead of
answering their questions politely and professionally).

There were a few well knowledgeable people who took pleasure in
answering people's questions, but there were equally many who took
pleasure in insulting those they felt weren't qualified to participate
in the group.
