Not in my opinion.

If help is desired, then at least read or listen to the suggestions  
and not put objections or conditions on what will be heeded. If there  
are outstanding circumstances that need to be considered, have the  
foresight to list them along with the request for assistance.

It is extremely disconcerting to attempt to fix problems for other  
people when they do not give enough important information to explain  
their situation clearly and then raise objections when suggestions for  
help are given.

I don't mind helping people learn more about operating their Macs, but  
I dislike it when they won't listen at all and only raise objections  
without explanations when answers are provided to them.

End of rant.

Each of us operates our Macs in differing manners, but there are some  
operations that are common to all of us. It is a lack of information  
and education about the operations that causes most problems and I  
believe that Apple should provide a better operating manual with their  
computers to help avoid problems.

End of second rant.
