I know, what's up with all this mean attitude. We ask because we don't know. U gotta start somewhere right?
Yes, but U don't gotta start here. Sometimes this forum can be rough. People aren't very tolerant of wading through newbie questions and non-deals in order to find the deals. The rules are pretty clear that new posts here should only contain hot deals. Questions like this go in the ~~~~How Do I?~~~~ thread.

In fact, this question was just asked and answered in the last three posts of the ~~~~How Do I?~~~~ thread.

Just to let you know, the "Hot Deals" forum is only for hot deal.. If you have any questions about stuff, about anything you can post them all in Off Topic which is read quite a bit and you can get lots of answers there.

Woooo...wooooo...

What's that noise?! Police sirens! Dude, try to relax a little. I don't think your life will be negatively impacted by this question in this forum. You seem genuinely offended that he has polluted the Hot Deals forum with this inquiry.

The only problem with that is that no one freakin views those threads, just like the "I Wanna" thread, the only views it gets is from other people wanting other stuff or with their own I want request. So, you never get an answer and when you post it as a new topic it gets locked.

What is one suppose to do? In order to get results and attention from enough SME's* u gotta post it at a highly visible place.

*SME = Subject Matter Expert

Well, the immediate answer to this very question in the ~~~~How Do I~~~~ thread tends to disprove your point. Plus, anyone who keeps posting off topic questions in this forum is likely to have their posts locked, and if they don't get the message from that the mods are likely to ban them.
 
YMMV to me means it really belong in the Brag and Moan coz the guy that usually post a YMMV deal usually gets the deal but I myself try and never ever ever gets in on it. I think my record is something like 0-7 so far.
So for some of us, YMMV really means "This deal probably will work for everyone except for you!!!"
