Scarily low reading comprehension

So I love to garden. I recently joined a number of gardening and plant-related forums. On one of them I went to make a post asking for some advice. (There was a whole saga with the mods being stupid about it too, but that's another story entirely.)

The first response actually offering advice said "I could offer you much better advice if I knew what zone you lived in."

The title of the post he had just responded to? "Container gardening in zone 8"

Epic fail right there.

Hey look! Shiny button! Push for appropriate sound effects!

Probably they didn't even have advice for you, they just wanted to be snotty...

Yup, see that all the time on Bike Forums too (mostly in the roadie subforums )

Considering they never did reply with any advice, you're probably right.
