Oh, I totally agree he should have done more research. I didn't mean to be mean or anything, i just think it's better to ENCOURAGE rather than DISCOURAGE, that's all.

While I'm not suggesting that we should be deliberately unfriendly, I can quite understand people getting frustrated under these circumstances.
What we have here in omar123omar is a classic case of the Dunning-Kruger effect (a psychological effect that is well worth understanding - see
this video). In simple terms, he doesn't know enough about the subject of spudguns to recognise the magnitude of the gaps in his knowledge.
People like this are inherently wearing to try and hold a conversation with, and it's pretty hard to actually get to the point where you can hold a meaningful conversation.

You really don't - it's obvious enough from reading your posts.
Your first port of call needs to be this page on the Spud Wiki:
"Why aren't my questions being answered?" .
If you want any meaningful help, go off and read that page. I know it's wordy, but it's an important read and as good as an explanation as I'll ever write of this kind of situation.
When you're done reading, come back. Assuming you've read the page properly, then you'll understand why we work this way, and not only will we be able to better help you, you'll be able to better help yourself.
