As a hypothetical example, let's say I post a question; "My tyre keeps going flat. I've checked there's no nails in it. What could be wrong ?"
I'll get a couple of replies, such as "Check the valve isn't leaking" or "Check there aren't evil pixies stealing the air while you're not looking".
Then I'll get one; "Check there isn't a nail in the tyre".
It seems a bit rude to say I already mentioned that in the first post and make them look foolish, when they are obviously just trying to be helpful.
It also seems a bit rude to ignore them and not thank them for their effort.
What is the correct response ?
Gaggia bean to cup machine.
Quote their answer, then re-quote your OP underneath.

The correct response would be to recheck the tyre for a single nail - you've stated that you checked it for multiple nails, not singular.

Sometimes people will even repeat what you've put in your original post!
I hate that.
They turn anti-clockwise
Its there way of letting you know they are an idiot so you can easily ignore everything they type

What is the correct response ?
Lay into them to make them feel as stupid as possible. It's the STW way.

You should check the tyre for nails.

The Big Hitter Force is strong in this one.
Have you really checked it thoroughly? Might be worth checking it again just in case.

Not read all the replys but i'd start out by checking for nails first.

We're too busy checking grammar to bother with content
... but they probably mean "look properly for nails" but don't want you to think that they consider you to be an idiot

I had the same problem, an allen key a bit of a heave and it was sorted.
is there a nail in the tyre..?
It WON'T take off
It doesn't matter how you respond, they probably won't read it. (-:
My pet peeve is posts from folk who've read the OP and hit 'reply' without so much as a cursory glance at the previous discussion.
I struggle with long sentences.

Let me just be the first to say that I don't like posts from folk who've read the OP and hit 'reply' without looking at the previous discussion.
so irritating
Have you checked for a broken frame rubbing on the tyre ?

The worst is when they reply to the OP, but the point has already been made. Sometimes more than once.

Get over yourself?
Wee in their shoes
have you checked the chain is aligned properly?
See your GP but its about £4.
TBH - catchy title + people with limited time O.P?
Just remember it is only an Internet forum - relax! 🙂
Bombers?
glitchy bump.
Have you checked your tyre for screws?
Have you tried using coal in your log burning stove?
I struggle with long sentences, but clearly it seems a bit rude for you to say you already mentioned that in the first post and make them look foolish, when they are obviously just trying to be helpful.

The worst is when they reply to the OP, but the point has already been made. Sometimes more than once. It's almost as if they haven't read previous posts 😉
