wow. so you knew about it, and he didn't, and that makes him an a**hole? Isn't the point of a help/discussion forum to be a primary resource for information? Wouldn't redirecting everyone to Google (which is obviously a kitchen sink solution, they even index this site[^]) totally missing the point?
(note that this is constructive criticism for you)

It's far from constructive.
I'll explain, firstly he was directed to google, he didn't have to come back and post quirpy sarcastic and offensive remarks, he could have reclarified his question or asked for more specific direction politely, his tone made him an a**hole, not the fact that someone knew the answer.
bulg wrote: Isn't the point of a help/discussion forum to be a primary resource for information?
The answer is no. It is not a primary resource of information. Documentation and research is.
bulg wrote: they even index this site[^])
Google indexes a couple of billion (I think 140 Billion, to put that into perspective that is 140,000,000,000) websites, so indexed codeproject isn't special. What's less special is that it come's up when you type the exact URL into google's search.
Remember, no one gets paid to answer your questions, don't expect newspaper articles or extremely lengthy responses to your query, and if you get a response you don't like then don't make yourself look like an a**hole.
You picking up what I'm throwing down here yet??

I can't tell if you're talking about ledmike's 1st post or klempie's second post 
And my bad on the point of a help/discussion forum. What is the purpose? And please specify actual or intended purpose, if you bother to answer at all

See there you go again, not only acting as if you're entitled to a response but you're trying to set guidelines out for me to follow as well.
The point of a forum is to get help on a specific problem, not something broad.
And I'm referring to klempie's posts and replies, each and every one of them.
Nevermind he went to the lounge and asked for people to report Led Mike's posts' as abusive, which in itself raises the level of douchebaggotry to an entirely new level.

I actually didn't expect you to respond, and I don't know how you can judge sarcasm in such straightforward text, especially since I used so many smilies, and made it clear that my previous post was an attempt at a constructive discourse, instead of what precedes it. I'll withhold them this time, since it is not effective.
Also, if you want to indulge me yet again, was Klempie's first post & question overly broad? It seems kinda specific to me (re:he's looking for a reference that someone may have found useful in the past, for a specific combination of technologies, COM & DX10).

I would humor you, but then again no. Just clicked that you're the same troll in the php lounge who needs help producing a site that's about, what was it again, "anarchy,fun,viruses etc etc"? Glad to see you dropped the 1337 txt spek.

haha. this post?[^] Obviously mocking the OP, similar to your post, except that noob actually understood and 1-voted me for it. Are you trying to get this thread moved to the soapbox?

Led Mikes posts are abusive, and his first reply was immature. His reputation certainly does speak for itself though, and I am not impressed.
What I don't understand is why you care so much about it.

What's completely ironic about this, is that your signature links to the forum guidelines, the majority of which I adhered to when posting this thread INCLUDING Googling for a couple of days. LOL!

I've not changed my sig in a while, but this word and the sentence it was used in are prime. Thanks.

I'll agree with that. While I don't agree with anything Elliot has said, "douchebaggotry" is one killer word and I intend to bank that one.

Exactly. When someone asks a question, EVEN if the question does not necessarily make sense (which it does for this thread anyway), how about just asking the OP to clarify exactly what it is they're trying to achieve or understand instead of belittling their post with anecdotes regarding April Fools Day and drug habits. In fact, I didn't even get sarcastic in my second post. I simply dismissed the stupid insults and asked for the information again. It was the automatic assumption that I was lazy and unproductive (in spite of the fact that I was at Code Project as a last resort) that set me off.

"Now that that's out of the way, can I get a straight answer"
I'm sorry, but that comes off a little prickish to me...
Either way, in response to the other post about why I care so much, it is because this was brought to the lounge in attempts to have users down-vote / report as abuse his posts, half of which contained hints to what you where looking for.

Prickish maybe but definitely not sarcastic and not nearly as prickish as the post it was directed at.Said post offered exactly NO information with regards to what I was trying to find out.
If you read the Lounge thread you'd notice that that was not my initial intention. I was trying to find out if there was a private method with which to alert a moderator. Then when it became clear that this was not possible it dawned on me that I could teach the unhelpful "prick", I think is the word you would, use a lesson by the only means left to me.
As for the "hints" you speak of, well, they were provided with no contextual information in terms of what they were and in any event, the information I gleaned from some far more helpful individuals at another site would indicate that the hints would have sent me on a wild goose chase.
I've got my answer to the problem, and the answer is yes. Direct3D 10 is exposed on COM. But no thanks to Led Mike.

Erroneous, he posted a link here about 10 posts down[^] which seems to have answered your question in full.
Klempie wrote: If you read the Lounge thread you'd notice that that was not my initial intention
It took 7 posts before you asked people to do that, and 50% of the posts out of those 7 where yours. Then you proceed to call him an "idiot" throughout the duration of the entire thread. You can't have it bother ways, you want to sit a bicker and have moderators look at the content in question about insults when you're insulting him in a separate thread in a much more public spread.
He had the decency to stop replying hours ago, you carried it over to a new board, attempted to have a community (which he served tirelessly whilst earning MVP honors) turn and downgrade his posts for no reason other then you weren't satisfied. He gave you your answers even while you insulted him. You should sit and apologize, not attempt to defend your lack of class and your rudeness.

Whatever you say Eliott the fact remains that most people here are agreeing with me that he was out of line.
Anyway, you have a good night now.

|

You have one guy supporting you who asks questions to develop a php site for viruses... yeah... real support you have there.
Fact remains you received your answer from him and don't acknowledge it, he gave you multiple hints before giving you the final answer and you don't acknowledge it and, as stated above, you attempted to have people come here just to down-vote him while insult him consistently, if anyone's disgraced here sir, it is you.

While I don't fully agree with posting about his posting about this in the Lounge, I would say I was on his side. So that would be at least two supporters you can mark on your chart.
And I must say your taking this very seriously, defending Led Mike all the way.

Erroneous because led mike was the one who exposed it to COM? or because no one else had that information, except him?
|
|
|
|
|
Erroneous because he gave him directions to the documentation three times before posting the actual direct URL. In my opinion, nothing is wrong with giving a direction instead of the direct result, working a bit and navigating shouldn't be such a big issue. And as for your other post 'are you kidding me', no I'm not.
Go back to making tutorial sites for viruses.

This is the wrong place for this argument, but you don't have posting enabled on your user page or an email link. However, I do. If you want to call me names, do it there.
Also, get off my lawn!
