Oh sure, it happens quite often. I've seen people 'talk down' to
other people lots of time in responding to their questions. I see it most
often when the person who posted the question has trouble with the
language. Sometimes you can just see how much time it took the guy to
ooze-out a single sentence and it really makes me angry when all they
get for their trouble is a flip answer from some bozo.
