Great post!

I wish I was that coherent, then Chris wouldn't have to keep shutting down some of the posts I go a little too far on.

I have one that I use which most of you on this forum seem too good hearted to use, but it works.

I ask the individual if they really feel the action I am taking seems so futile and unnecessary. If they say yes, I thank them and tell them they have saved me a lot of time as now I can eliminate any thought of helping them because they were not prepared for something that I was prepared for. Often times the look on the faces reflects the "Ah ha" moment of realization that they would not otherwise experience. Some of you may think this cruel or antisocial, but I find it is the safest way for the recepient of my discourse to realize just how quickly they can be all alone in a bad situation.
