You mistakenly assume that all postings appear promptly, if at all. They do
not. Some do not appear at all until 12 or more hours later, when you have to
access "Google Search" to read them all. So, try not to be so "****ed" when
someone asks a follow-up question.

I had just answered this question (in this discussion thread I believe)
a day or two ago, and someone immediately asked the same question again,
obviously without reading anything that had been posted recently here.
I just ignored it, but I can see where someone would be ****ed about a
question being asked again when it was *just* answered.
