<p><strong>Before you downvote and flag a post</strong>, how about instead considering an answer to help the newbie find their way towards an answer? Please help me not think that the sole purpose of a diamond moderator is to run good people off from the SE sites.</p>
<p>The SE network is such a great resource to learn from, however, once you ask &quot;how do I do this?&quot; and they think you're a newb?</p>
<p>Why does it seem the normal response Stack Exchange has are its diamond mods and senior members do a <strong>drive by:</strong> <kbd>vote down</kbd>, <kbd>close</kbd>, and <kbd>move on</kbd> without any effort to help the person seeking help.</p>

<p>Ex Navy, motorcycle enthusiast, got a BSEE magna cum laude (with distinction in my degree), embedded Software Engineer, turned entrepreneur. I am IT. Not I-T like information technologies (although I'm I-T, too). Added the bit about having a degree since people who habitually downvote answers seem to all have them, too. <sub>I hope that doesn't rub off onto me...</sub></p>
<p>No, <strong>IT</strong>, like <em>&quot;ha ha you're it&quot;</em></p>
<p>Running a business has turned me into a modern day DaVinci through necessity. CAD? Yup. Linux sysadmin? Uh-huh. Machinist, Electrician, Php, mysql, postgres, graphics design PS AI ID, non-consensual visual basic, and back to some great embedded C/C++.</p>
